Highland Lakes, Austin Texas
I am going to Austin for a week in March.
How would you plan a couple of days of bass fishing there? I have never been there. I am thinking about hiring a guide. Do any of you guys know the area? Any tips? I am use to the the San Diego, CA region, so bassing in Texas will be much more "user friendly", I do believe. Maybe I should talk to the locals, rent a boat, and go that route? Thanks |

SHRED, I would go to www.texasfishingforum.com and post this in the
Bass Fishing section. This is a huge forum, and I am sure you will get replies from guys local to Austin. I saw a thread a while back where somebody was trying to catch a bass in every state they could while on business trips, and quite a few gave him info on a border lake so that he could get in his fishing without time wasted on site. If you want info on lakes or regulations, go he http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/ |

And, during my travels, based on the rates for renting a boat suitable for fishing, you'll probably come out ahead hiring the guide when you look at the cost of renting a boat and buying fuel. You probably wouldn't have to bring any tackle, just buy a license and show up at the dock, so that would make traveling easier for you as well. Plus, who knows, you might get a chance to try some different tactic, lure or equipment and have something different to try once you get back home. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Shred you got some good advise from others, but you should really go to
Texasfishingforum.com, I am a member and you can get some really good info there. I live in Dallas, but use to live in Austin. I would recommend Lake Austin or Town Lake, right in downtown. There is some great fishing and I always hear of 10 plus fish coming out of there. Go for the guide all our lakes are extremely low and very dangerous so get somebody that knows the water.
