Man thats a fatty.. thanks for the report... I'm getting out there probably after its down all the way
Lake Austin 1/17
3
Temp: 48
Clarity of water between 4ft -5ft
Lures: Crank baits fire tiger and Shad Rap
Time: 7:00am -11:30am
Total bass caught 4
Launched my kayak this morning from Walsh Landing, kayak past Laguna Gloria, and started fishing the Austin City Watershed Structure Building, and work my way back toward the Walsh launch ramp. For the next hour and half fishing was slow, and then caught a small dink under a pound. Around 9am, started fishing the docks against the cliffs that were still in water. Caught my second bass, but somehow that bass wrapped my line around a folding chair, lucky for me I had 20lb test line, pulled in the bass along with the chair. Managed to untangle the bass and my line off the chair, that was not a simple task on the kayak let me tell you. That bass went 2.7lbs, nice fish. Fished along the cliffs, with another boat dock in water still and landed same crank bait that bass went 3.8lbs, almost a 4pounder, continued to fish the rocky cliffs and the fourth bass caught went 1.8lbs. Nice fishing day, since I have not been on the water since September. Next time, will probably try 360 bridge, since boat ramp at Walsh is pretty slippery and muddy if you’re not careful, almost lost it there at the edge.

Gentlemen, you’re welcome, hope to read up on all your reports as well. Good luck fishing this month during the drawndown, I am looking forward in hearing someone hook the BIG ONE, can’t wait to see that pic! Tomorrow’s fishing is going to be better than today, wished I had another day off, and give 360 a try.
