Lake Austin Fishing Report: Ideal Late Fall Conditions for Bass, Catfish, and Panfish
Good morning Austin anglers, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your local Lake Austin fishing report for Monday, November 24, 2025.
We kicked off this morning with a **sunrise at 7:01 AM** and we’re looking at a sunset around **5:21 PM**. The weather’s classic late fall—cool and mild—setting up a near-perfect day to hit the water. The water temperature is sitting right at **72 degrees** with clarity reported as good, based on the latest update from Lone Star Outdoor News.
Today’s solunar activity favors those early and late sessions. **The best major bite window just finished, running from 6:26 AM to 8:26 AM**. If you’re sneaking in an afternoon cast, keep an eye out for another major uptick between **6:44 PM and 8:44 PM**, with a minor bite around 1:37 PM to 3:37 PM. We’re sitting on a first quarter moon, so fish activity should be solid, especially around those major times (FishingReminder).
**Lake Austin’s bass bite remains strong.** Largemouth are hitting well on **moving baits and soft plastics**. If you’re targeting numbers and action, try a white or chartreuse spinnerbait, or a square-billed crankbait worked along submerged structure and docks. For the finesse crowd, Texas-rigged soft plastics and wacky worm setups have been money, especially around creek inlets and drop-offs. On the hard bait side, a suspending jerkbait or a small swimbait can coax those pressured fish out, particularly during transition times when light is low (Lone Star Outdoor News).
Anglers have been reporting a solid mix—**plenty of 2-to-4 pound bass**, and the occasional kicker 6-pounder. If you’re after numbers, focus shallower around grass edges, especially in the warming afternoon sun. For size, points and deeper structure by the dam and along the edges of the main river channel have been productive.
While bass is the main game, don’t overlook the catfish and panfish. Catfish are fair to good on cut bait fished deeper along ledges and creek mouths; bluegill and sunfish are taking worms near docks and laydowns.
Today’s best bait and lure options:
- Chartreuse or white **spinnerbaits**
- Black-and-blue or green pumpkin **Texas-rigged worms**
- Small **swimbaits** in shad patterns
- Suspending **jerkbaits**
- Cut shad or chicken liver for **catfish**
If live bait’s your thing, **shiners or nightcrawlers** will catch just about anything swimming today.
Hot spots for today:
- **Emma Long Metro Park**: Fish the deeper park docks and drop-offs for both quantity and size.
- **Tom Miller Dam area**: Work swimbaits or jerkbaits along the calmer, deeper stretches for your shot at a trophy.
- **Lower end creek arms near West Bull Creek**: Moving baits early in the day have triggered aggressive strikes.
Don’t forget: Lake Austin can get trafficky, so keep your eyes up, stay courteous, and mind the regulations around no-wake zones.
That’s your Lake Austin report for November 24, 2025. Thanks for tuning in with Artificial Lure—make sure you subscribe for more local fishing insights.
