SUMMARY:
Didn't want to totally waste a beautiful day on chores so I took in a quick afternoon session on Lake Austin.  Got to the ramp as the ATX Club was coming in.  They had some nice fish come in that included an 11+ kicker.  Headed up stream and worked a couple grass lines and docks with a jig that managed to fool a few dinks into getting some lip piercings.  All the bites were solid and came in about 10-12 fow.

I came up to this one tree that had the remains of someones a wacky rigged Senko and about 7 foot of line.  It was within easy reach so I decided to do a little lake clean up and retrieve it.  On my very next cast I was rewarded with a decent chunk keeper around 2.5 lbs and a couple more.  Good deed rewarded, love it when that happens.  Called it a day and headed to the house.  Glad I was able to get out and enjoy the fine weather before it turns to crap, yet again.  

Tight Lines,  Rude    

A nice way to enjoy the day.

Rude,
Saw you out Sat. I had the family out for a joy ride from Quinlan down to hula hut for an early dinner. No fishing involved great day to be on the water.

Hey everyone, I made some mistakes on the original report.  It's been corrected.  

• The day was Sunday not Saturday
• The water temp was 55-56 not 48-51.

Corey, you should have pulled up and said hi..  Definitely a gorgeous day.

We hit Austin for a few Sunday as well. First time on the lake since September.

We found water temps up to 61 but that was very late in the day.

Buddy caught a pretty 6lb 4oz with 7 fish boated total.

We'll be on this lake for the next few months.

I hit LA as well yesterday, from roughly 9:30 - 12:30.  I stayed mainly around the 360 bridge...warmest water I saw was 61.  I stuck this in the muddiest water I fished (lipless cb), about 20 minutes before I had to leave...just over 5 lbs and 21"...

Nice Fish Rude. I was out there as well, hit the water about 7 am still a fine mist in the air and foggy. Sun came up around 10. water temp where I fished was 56. Only got one Dink in the boat and a few good bites that I missed. I could really use the help knocking that stinky skunk off my boat.
