I have a long weekend, just got a new boat, and I'm trying to fish 3 different lakes in 3 days. Any suggestions on where to go in the Austin area?

White bass are schooling on Belton, catch one every cast 8-13" if action is what you are after.

I haven't had much luck anywhere lately. I was on LBJ this afternoon. Too much traffic from the jet skis and Ski Boats. I plan on hitting Buc in the morning. Minner Bucket, where did you fish and what bait were you using. The fishing was good before they started dropping the water again. I haven't been back sense.

I tried a little bit of everything in a lot of different places. Tried top water for the first 2 hours and only had 1 blow up. Went out deep and scanned and fished by the dam and caught a couple. I dont know the lake very well and still trying to figure it out. Dang whites were schooling all over. I had to throw at em just so I knew what a fish felt like. Threw at the brush with about 6 different lures and never had a bite. Oh well, thats fishing, let us know how it was today.

Does Decker get crazy with jet skis and ski boats during the day? or is it mostly fishermen?

I have been tearing them up on the Lower Colorado in between Austin and Bastrop. Decker and Bastrop are also hot right now. Let me know if you need a fishing partner!

No smallmouth on the Lower Colorado, but you'll find Guadalupe bass, the state fish of Texas.They fight hard like a smallie - lots of angry head shakes. The state record guad came out of the LoCo.
