Deep as sh1t, windy points, but the best piece of advice is to hop on 620, look at lake travis on your right...go left...put in on lake austin....and fish there.

At night, or maybe during the week. Not on weekends during the summer.
Lake Austin is a zoo too. But Austin is interesting. This weekend the water surface temps were around 64 where i was fishing and there's vegatation everywhere. I didn't do well but I wasn't fishing real hard either.
In the early morning I checked out by my brother-in law's dock and there were bass everywhere. As soon as the wake boarders got out everything seemed to scatter. There is a healthy bass population in Austin if you can fish when the lakes not so crowded.

there are a lot of bass that suspend under some of the docks and boathouses. look for docks in 20 or more and skip a jig as far back as you can, let it sink a while then swim it back

In the summer months, I always fished the Colorado river arm, less traffic and good fishing.
Back in the 90's, my partner and I won a few checks on Travis using Culprit punkin seed, watermelon red 7.5 worms, and smoked pepper tubes with red glitter.
In the summer, the river bass are predictable in the afternoons on the points with wind. Sooner or later, they show up on a wind blown point and a tx rigged worm will get a limit.
I used to lauch from Mona's and Glosterbend, just depends on water levels.
Rattle traps/small white spinners around docks early morning.
