Fishing was slow on Lake Travis after the cold-front. The bass are starting to migrate to spawning areas. Early in the day I was able to catch a few on a jerkbait along the ledges and skipping jigs under docks. Once it slowed down, I was forced to go with finesse techniques. Drop shots and weightless wacky worms were the most productive. The big ones are out there, but the bites were few and far in between for me.

Fished from 6:00-11:30am today. Caught them on a little bit of everything and never found anything big. Caught several small ones and one blue hull on the PopMax in Mat Shad fishing over the top of submerged grass. Then caught a few on drop show and Ned rig. Biggest two of the day came right before we got off the water on a shakey head and T-Mac Alabama craw combo.
