If I were you I would skip Lake austin, and fish Lake Carolyn (the old Town Lake) . Launch at fiesta gardens and fish the lower end. Or Launch below I-35 bridge and go up to Barton Springs and have fish all to yourself.. No big motor use in Lake Carolyn, trolling motor only. I have seen the largest Bass in my life just sitting out in the open water in fiesta gardens post spawn back in the Day. Lake Austin has some Big girls, but you will have to work. Caught my big one in Lake austin about a 1/4 mile up from the 360 brige on the south side. There is a small flat out in front of a larger dock (Hoa).. If you side scan you will see it, it comes pretty far out and has a good area for some fish to spawn deep.

If I had to fish Lake Austin, this is where I would sit... Throw the biggest ugliest worm I had. Most people don't realize how far out this goes. (but they do now, not a big secret) Go about 3am and fish until about 9am.

Fish the rocks on the end, and sides. drops off into the channel.

There are a couple of spots up river from 360 that we sunk cinderblocks in 15-20ft a couple of years ago. They produce every now and then,

About zebs and clarity......still cloudy because of zero veggies.
