on Lake LBJ: Enjoying Fall Fishing and Water Adventures in Texas**
As October unfolds around Lake LBJ, the mild Texas temperatures create a beautiful backdrop for those who wish to make the most of the lake’s offerings. With summer heat fading, this is the perfect time to enjoy boating, fishing, and outdoor activities with friends and family. Warm days and cooler nights provide an ideal setting for everything from fishing expeditions to leisurely pontoon boat cruises.
Perfect Weather for Lake Adventures
October's weather is often a mix of comfortably warm days and refreshing cool evenings—perfect for sunset boat rides. Whether you’re planning a relaxing day on one of our South Bay Pontoons, or setting out to reel in a big catch from your bass boat or center console boat, now is the time to take advantage of the wonderful lakeside atmosphere.
Fishing Update: Bass, Crappie, and Catfish
The fall season provides fantastic fishing opportunities on Lake LBJ. As the fish become more active with the cooling temperatures, it’s an excellent time for anglers to hit the water.
Bass Fishing:
Largemouth bass are on the prowl this October! With the transition into fall, they begin to chase shad and other prey more aggressively. Anglers should find success using crankbaits and soft plastics around rocky points, submerged structures, and flats. Early morning and late afternoon are prime times for catching these spirited fish.
Crappie Fishing:
Crappie action is heating up as schools of these tasty fish gather around brush piles and submerged trees. Using jigs or live minnows around these structures can lead to productive days on the water. October is one of the best months for crappie fishing, so be sure to have your gear ready.
Catfish Fishing:
Don’t overlook catfish this October! They are especially active this time of year and can be caught with various baits such as chicken liver, stink bait, and live bait. Fishing in the evening or at night can lead to some fantastic catches, as catfish tend to be more influenced by cooler temperatures.
Celebrate Halloween on the Water
As Halloween approaches, the festive spirit can easily be combined with a day on the lake! Consider dressing up your pontoon boat or fishing boat with Halloween decorations, or plan a spooky evening cruise to enjoy the waterfront atmosphere. It’s a unique way to celebrate the holiday while enjoying the beauty of Lake LBJ.
