Artificial Lure here with your Lake Austin fishing report for October 30, 2025.
Another fine fall morning wakes up along Lake Austin, with air temps cool in the early hours and climbing up into the mid 70s as the sun burns off the mist. Water’s sitting at 76 degrees, clarity remains good, and the lake is just a hair under full pool at 0.63 feet below, so most of your favorite spots are accessible. Official sunrise was at 7:43 AM, and expect sunset around 6:47 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to chase those bass before the early dusk rolls in.
We don’t get tidal swings out here, but boat traffic is way down which means calmer water through midday—the fish notice too. According to this week’s Texas Parks & Wildlife report, the bite is fair to good, with bass active shallow and around the grass edges early. In fact, several local guides, including Carson Conklin at ATX Fishing, note bass pushing baitfish into the grass, with solid catches of 3- to 5-pounders coming on flukes, wacky worms, and frogs. If you’re punching, a dropshot or creature bait is getting bit in those matted pockets, especially near the outside line.
Midlake, look for schooling bass chasing bait balls suspended in 10 to 25 feet of water—those small swimbaits and minnow imitations can really shine. Bryan Cotter with Texas Hawgs adds that tossing crankbaits or a jigging spoon through the schoolies is getting it done, and he’s still finding good ones at night skipping jigs or Texas-rigged soft plastics under the deeper docks.
The shallow morning topwater bite is on—frogs and poppers around the inside grasslines have produced, particularly with overcast conditions. As the day warms, work paddle tail swimbaits or soft stick baits weightless through shallow submerged grass or along shaded banks. Ander Meine from Bassquatch Fishing recommends focusing on three-inch paddle tails and mid-strolling finesse plastics for suspended fish, dialing in with forward-facing sonar if you’ve got it.
For bait, stick with the proven stuff: soft plastics in green pumpkin, watermelon, or natural shad. If you’re looking to bring in some catfish, try cut bait or punch bait set up in 15-25 feet off the deeper flats and creek mouths later in the day.
Recent catches have been solid, with most bass in the 2-4 pound range, but don’t be surprised to boat a five if you stick with it. The fall cooling has fish moving, chasing more aggressively, and a variety of presentations will catch them—don’t be afraid to switch it up if you get snubbed.
If you want to up your odds, a couple of hot spots worth highlighting this week:
- **Emma Long Park**: been hot at sunrise, plenty of grass and good access to deep water edges.
- **Up near Walsh Boat Landing**: schooling bass reported off the drop-offs and around dock lines.
That’s the latest for Lake Austin—the fish are chewing, water’s good, and the crowds are light. Just remember, boat responsibly and always follow zebra mussel protocols: drain your gear before hitting another body of water.
