Lake Travis Fishing Report - January 2025

Water Level: 637.42

Water Temp: 58 degrees

The lake is 43.5’ low and fishing great. On my last three trips this month my clients caught 18, 24, and 16 bass including a few quality bass (Largemouth up to 6 lbs and Guadalupe bass up to 2.5 lbs). We’ve been catching a ton of larger than average Guadalupe Bass lately. I’m expecting this latest cold snap to slow the bite down but expect it to pick back up as soon as it warms back up.

On warm, sunny days I’ve been catching some of my best bass on jigs, shaky head worms, and Texas rigged worms on main lake points and outside grass edges in 10-15’ of water. On colder, cloudier days I’ve been able to catch them in the same areas but work my bait out deeper 20-40’ deep. Bites have not been particularly aggressive and the fish seem to prefer a different presentation each day. Altering your presentation as you fish will help you figure out how they want the bait presented that given day. When you do get a bite, pay attention to how you were working your bait as this could mean the difference between a few bites for the day or 20 plus bites.

There are also some fish on main lake ledges in 30-40’ of water. While I will use the same jigs and soft plastics on these ledges, I have also been deploying an underspin slowly retrieved just above the fish. The bites aren’t aggressive so pay attention to your line during your retrieve.

As we get into February, the first good warming trend will trigger a mass migration of bass into shallow water to get ready to spawn. Once the water temp hits 60 degrees, we’ll see bass move up to begin their annual spawn.
