Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Austin fishing report for Saturday, June 7th, 2025.
The water's sitting at about 78 degrees, stained but fishable, and running about 0.64 feet below pool. Perfect conditions for what's shaping up to be a hot summer day on the water.
Sunrise hit us at 6:29 AM with sunset coming around 8:30 tonight, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. Weather's clear with a light south breeze – ideal for targeting those wind-blown points and grass edges.
Summertime patterns are in full effect right now. Bass have settled into their deep summer haunts around brush piles, with the early morning still producing some shallow bank action. As the day progresses, they're pulling out deeper around creek mouths and open water. The grass is growing nicely on both ends of the lake – mostly hydrilla and eel grass – creating some prime structure.
For your tackle box, I'd suggest packing small swimbaits, dropshots, Texas rigs, and shaky heads for the deeper fish. Lightweight Texas rigs are especially effective in that deep grass. If you're hitting the water early, don't forget your walking baits and poppers for those explosive topwater strikes in the shallows.
Recent reports show good numbers of largemouth being caught, with most of the action happening in that 8-25 foot range. The early fish are coming off the bottom, but as the day warms up, they're suspending more in the water column.
For hot spots, I'd recommend targeting the brush piles near Emma Long Park early, then shifting to the deeper creek channels off Mansfield Dam as the day heats up. Don't overlook those grass edges near Commons Ford – they've been holding some quality fish lately.
If you're looking to mix it up, Lady Bird Lake just downstream has been producing some decent sunfish and catfish. Or head out to Lake Travis for a shot at those Guadalupe and white bass that have been schooling off points.
ATX Fishing reports that boat traffic gets heavy by mid-morning, so plan accordingly. The earlier you can get on the water, the better your chances for those quality bites.
