Tips And Tactics For Central Texas

[joeyfishes]

Hello everyone! I will be going out to fish with my grandfather in a couple days. I know that I should go to the northwest part of the lake and near the shore with a lot of weeds and cover. I heard that spinnerbait and crankbait work well. I know that the water temperature effects where the fish are but I'm not sure about where they are at what temperatures. Does anyone have any other tips for me? Oh and what weight line should I use? Thanks!

Lake Georgetown! I have been jet skiing at Travis but never fished it.

Travis is my home lake, i fish there about everyday because i live less then a mile from the water, I've fished Lake Georgetown once but never had too much luck, if you wanna have a good time go to lake Austin, they're pulling out bass over 10 lbs constantly.

Thanks! Since I'm new, could you please tell me what type of bait and line I should use? Thanks

I would start off with creature baits right now like zoom baby brush hogs in any kind of watermelon color, or get some 4in senkos, as for line i would try either a fluorocarbon or monofilament line thats at least 10lbs, 20lb max. If im fishing a lot of heavy cover i'll use 17lb fluorocarbon.
