Mid-day fishing was good on Town Lake (AKA Ladybird Lake). Bass are holding tight to cover and ambushing baitfish. Pitching and flipping into submerged vegetation and skipping jigs under low hanging trees was effective. Water clarity was about 5-6ft, so black and blue or junebug colored baits worked well. In clearer water by the Barton creek mouth, watermelon red and green pumpkin proved more effective.

I fished all the bridges mainly focusing on all the pilings and between them. I used a green pumpkin Senko on a dropshot set up with the weight 6” below the hook. Very slow bumps and movements I caught 32 bass like this.

Target shaded areas: overhanging trees, brush piles, tulies. Short and fast flips/pitches along the brush and skipping under docks was very effective.

Falling pressure led to a cloudy and windy day. Got a lot of bites and one big bite. Some hit the small some hit the big baits on the rig. 15yds off shore drifting with the wind and the current going opposite. So im casting up current but down wind. Hitting on the pause. Change up the retrieve. Picking spots with navionics. Use the contours.

15yds off shore fishing submerged trees and grass. Rising pressure made for a sunny less windy day. Hit on the fall of the cast.

Caught about 8 with a few around 2lbs around beds. Fished grassy areas on the west side of lady bird in 3-8ft of water. Couldn't get any bites on reaction baits
