Enjoying September on Lake LBJ: A Perfect Blend of Football and Fishing

As September rolls in, the vibrant colors of early autumn begin to grace Lake LBJ, presenting a beautiful backdrop for leisurely days on the water. While the excitement of football season may dominate many weekends, there’s no reason why you can’t indulge your love for the lake while still keeping an eye on your favorite teams! With less crowded shores and calming waters, September provides an ideal opportunity to get out on the lake and enjoy all it has to offer.

Why September is a Great Time at Lake LBJ

As the summer crowds dissipate and kids head back to school, the lake becomes a serene retreat for those who love the outdoors. The inviting, calmer waters offer perfect conditions for a relaxing day on your boat, whether you’re cruising, swimming, or fishing. This quieter time enhances the overall experience, allowing for uninterrupted bonding with family and friends as you soak up the beauty of Lake LBJ.

And for those who love the thrill of catching fish while glancing at their favorite game on the radio or their mobile devices, September is the perfect month to hit the water. The fish are active, and the ambiance is just right – it’s a win-win!

Fishing Report: Bass and Crappie on the Rise!

Fishing enthusiasts will be pleased to hear that September is an excellent month for both bass and crappie fishing on Lake LBJ. The water temperature is still warm, which keeps fish active and feeding as they prepare for the cooler months ahead.

Bass Fishing:
Largemouth bass are thriving this time of year. Anglers can find success in shallow waters, especially near structures, docks, and vegetation. Topwater lures and soft plastics work wonders as the bass are more aggressive with their feeding habits in early fall. Early morning and late evening tend to be the best times to catch these feisty fish.

Crappie Fishing:
Crappie anglers won’t want to miss the opportunity this September! The cooler water temperatures begin to trigger a feeding frenzy. Look for crappie near submerged structures and around brush piles. Jigs and minnows are your best bets for attracting these delicious fish. 

Make the Most of Your September

Plan a fishing trip, invite friends over for a picnic by the lake, or just enjoy a peaceful ride on your boat. Whether you’re casting your line or watching the game while anchored with a cold drink, September offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and relaxation.

So, while the football season heats up, remember that the beauty of Lake LBJ awaits! Grab your fishing gear, set up your boat, and enjoy the tranquility of the water. Happy fishing, and may your favorite team bring home a victory!
