Got a couple more on a square bill and did find the hydrilla but it was 11am, skiers everywhere, and getting hot. Fished hydrilla half hour and zeroed. Off the water at noon. 5 total. Cool lake. I like the water color and looks like this might be my go to lake rather than Travis. Need to do some map study and hit it during the week!


Yeah, that bell will get you. Hahaha. It usually starts around 8:00-8:15am and goes all day, every 15 minutes. It's definitely better during the week as far as traffic goes, that's for sure. LBJ becomes pretty tough to fish during the Summer. There isn't a whole lot of offshore structure and cover, so you're pretty much limited to the grass or boat docks, and it's hard to fish some it because of the boat traffic. The lake fishes much better during the Fall and on through the Spring. Stick with it and it'll produce for you eventually.

PM me if you need any more info.

You should go a little north and fish Buchanan. I think it's fishing the best out of all the central texas lakes this year.

Was that an invitation or just sage advice?

Why do the bass never seem to set up deep on these lakes? I fished Buchanan and lbj a couple weeks ago. Graphed both for a few hours before I went shallow. Back home in east texas you can find them deep on any of these lakes right now. I’ve never got on a deep point bite at either one of these lakes. They seem to be shallow year around.

Buchanan has deep fish as does LBJ. If LBJ didn't have all the docks and constant level, it would be all offshore

I've been asking myself the same thing. Tried again yesterday and found no fish deep. Went shallow and caught three in 5-8' on a jerk bait. Came back home and was sitting on my dock way back in a creek and watched numerous bass up to 3-4 lbs cruising. I'm obviously not real smart as those bass were telling me what everyone who fishes this lake a lot says-the bass stay shallow here. Makes no sense as the surface temp is just about right for making those fancy Sous Vide steaks back here! That being said, I know there has to be some fish deep off shore and I am bound and determined to find them.

The first point west of the dam on the north side reminds me of the main lake point at Lake Fork by it's shape. I spent about 30 minutes graphing it. Some bait but not many bass and had no takers. I fished from about 15' down to 35' with a CR and a deep diving crank bait. Don't understand why that point wouldn't be stacked up with fish at this time of the year. I didn't get around much of the lake other than from the dam up to about 1/2 mile from there in the five hours I was there. The crankbait fish I caught were in less than 10' on rocks. Yea...all two of them! LOL! But, I think with TOW it will be a good lake for me. It's only 37 miles from my garage to the ramp at the Yacht club on LBJ. Buchanan is about an hour and twenty so I can't just scoot over there in the late afternoons or half days. I'll eventually find em! Just gotta go during the week!

That is the RV park point, correct? It has some grass and is actually the only place I have found so far that I have confidence in catching them-albeit not killing them for sure. LOL

Out of curiosity does the power plant produce enough hot water to bring/keep bass there in the winter?
