Howdy, fellow anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you live with the lowdown on the Lake Austin fishing scene for November 3, 2025. Grab your tackle, settle in, and let’s get straight to it. The weather’s been classic Central Texas fall—mild temps, low winds, and mostly sunny skies, perfect for a full day chasing bass and blues. Sunrise today was at 7:45 AM and sunset’ll be at 6:25 PM, leaving plenty of time to soak in the action. According to the LCRA Hydromet, Lake Austin’s water levels are holding steady, right within the normal operating range, which means the fish aren’t getting any big shocks from sudden swings—just good, reliable fishing conditions.
No tides to worry about here—Lake Austin’s all about the flow, not the tide, so focus on structure, drop-offs, and those classic Texas points. Early mornings have been prime for topwater action, especially on poppers and buzzbaits. As the sun climbs, switch to your wacky rigged Senkos or deep-diving crankbaits, targeting main lake ledges from the Pennybacker Bridge down to Tom Miller Dam. The fish are stacked in the usual spots, but word is the docks and rocky shorelines by Red Bud Cove and Caddo Park have been firing up lately, especially for those tossing Ned rigs and Texas-rigged worms. Local guides have reported solid numbers of largemouth bass and sunfish, with a few nice slabs of catfish mixed in. I’ve heard of several bass in the 3- to 5-pound range coming out by the old railroad trestle, and while no new monsters have been registered with Texas Parks and Wildlife, the bite’s consistent—your odds are good if you’re on the water.
Live bait’s always a go-to if the bass are feeling shy—nightcrawlers, bluegills, and shiners are doing the trick. But for sport, you can’t beat the artificials: swimbaits in shad patterns, whopper ploppers, and green pumpkin Stick-Os are getting lots of love this week. If you’re after catfish, chunk cut bait is king, tossed tight to laydowns or dropped in slow-moving eddies. Panfish? Tiny jigs tipped with a bit of worm under a corkscrew will keep you busy all day.
As for hot spots, start your morning at the cliffs near the Hula Hut—the shade and structure there have been sheltering a solid group of largemouth. Later, work the weedlines and docks around the new bridge construction, and don’t ignore deeper water near the dam as the sun gets high. If you want a surefire place for numbers, try the rocky shoals off Mt. Bonnell—local knowledge says there’s always a willing bass or panfish waiting for a snack.
Remember to check your licenses and local regs, especially if you’re bringing home dinner. And hey, Lake Austin’s a catch-and-release spot for bass these days, so treat ‘em right and they’ll keep coming back next year.
