Lake Austin Fishing Report March 2025: Largemouth Bonanza, White Bass Run, and More!
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Austin fishing report for March 22, 2025. Let's dive right in!
First off, we've got a beautiful spring day ahead of us. Sunrise was at 7:32 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:38 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. The weather's looking mighty fine with highs around 75°F and partly cloudy skies. As for tides, well, Lake Austin is a constant-level lake, so we don't have to worry about that here. Just keep an eye on those water releases from upstream Lake Travis, as they can stir things up a bit.
Now, onto the fishing! Folks, the largemouth bass bite has been on fire lately! Water temps are hovering in the low 60s, and these fish are in full pre-spawn mode. We've been seeing a lot of 3-5 pounders, with a few lucky anglers landing some real lunkers in the 8-10 pound range. Just last month, Willie Pipkin set a new lake record with a whopping 14.05-pounder!
The best action has been coming from the grass edges in 5-15 feet of water. Small profile Alabama rigs and jerkbaits have been absolute killers for suspended fish. If you're looking to target those bigger bass, try pitching jigs or Texas-rigged worms around boat docks and submerged timber.
White bass are also making their annual spawning run up the Colorado River. Anglers are having success with small inline spinners and crappie jigs in white or chartreuse. For you catfish enthusiasts, the bite has been steady with some nice blues and channels being caught on cut shad and stinkbait.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying your luck around Mansfield Dam or up in the Sandy Creek arm. The area near Emma Long Metropolitan Park has also been producing some quality fish. And don't forget about the 360 Bridge area – there's some great structure there, and the fish have been stacked up like cordwood.
Remember, folks, practice catch and release when you can, especially with those big spawners. Let's keep Lake Austin fishing great for years to come. Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.
