Hidden Fishing In Downtown Austin Texas -- MUTANT BASS?? (Pt. 1)

[@michaelevans9357]

I lived in Austin for 7 years & some of the best fishing I ever had was in Mid April on Lake Austin under 360 hwy bridge along golf coarse - 23 fish between 4 to 10.5 lbs in 2 hours 7:30 -9:30 am! Best day ever!

[@donglongius2102]

So I don't really EVER comment on youtube, but I feel like it would be just wrong of me not to give you a little thank you in the comments. I don't even fish, yet I've watched nearly all your videos. They're engaging, very human, well produced (seriously dude, studio quality editing and production), and you manage to squeeze things in that arent JUST about fishing - conversations with your friends, camping with MorningTide giving us a little interview, taking us into tackle shops, and even just little funny bloopers and clumsy moments as well as failures. I love that your videos aren't just a compilation of hook sets like many others are; theyre about not just fishing, its about the journey, the nature, the experience, friends... Anyways I'm rambling now but to sum it up - the quality of what you're producing on youtube is better than that of what I see on TV. From editing to little bits of cinematography.etc the work you're putting in is insane. I have a chronic illness and am mostly bedridden, as well as some extreme depression. Despite that, your videos have always put at least ONE smile on my face, so thank you

[@BrandonHvlogs]

Dong Longius praying for you. You shall get better and be able to do things that you can’t even imagine. 1 day at a time. Bless you

I’m 40 and a sea bass angler in Ireland. I’ve been watching you for ages now and think your a humble , down to earth guy. Keep doing what your doing spreading the message of how cool fishing is :-)

The second I saw him walking in “Al Pastor” put a smile on my face.

[@matthewjohnbauer]

Rosita's Al Pastor** I used to live right by the churchs chicken next to that mini-mall. They close at like 1 and then open a food trailer up by the road, Riverside, at 4. Theyre always super packed. But there are condos n such going up really soon soo all that is probably going to get leveled

Jon B. Dude , I love you, you’re an amazing fisherman and you inspire me. I wish I was able to fish every day and have fun and just be free. I mean all we see is what you allow us to. I’m 22, I have 2 kids and a step son . I WISH I could meet you, I WISH I could have a day to be on a boat with you. I grew up fishing in the Gulf of Mexico for Redfish (red drum) for some reason I can’t catch a bass to save my life , and it’s all I want to do, I know you’ve been to Arkansas before, actually extremely close to where I’m from but I was a year late to start watching your videos . I don’t know if you read your comments, but if you do some how I wish you could get in touch with me, just say hey, or anything. You’re awesome, don’t ever stop . Keep fishing and always be humble .

[@sakriyabhatta]

I feel like I'm watching a documentary😂

[@stevo1100]

The amount of times I’ve swam in that area by Barton springs... never seen a single person fish that spot. I’ve never thought to myself. Lesson learned! Also can’t wait to try those spots at the creek by the library. Welcome to Austin! Enjoy your stay :)

Creek fishing is on point bud 👍🏻👏🏻

[@adamsmith8533]

Jon, when that lake ( Colorado River ) is flooding , the bass migrate into Barton Creek by the hundreds. It's spring fed. Got my Texas p.b. ten , lbs. Four oz right where you were casting. Thanks . Brought back great memories . Also there is a warm water outlet in a slough at South end of lake. Used to be an awesome spot. Don't know if it's still operational. Been a long time since I lived in Texas.

[@samyager8890]

More places to bass fish in ATX than Racine Wisconsin

[@Keefre]

There's a decent amount of bass around. Just gotta look for them. I keep catching them on the Root and Pike river while fishing for trout and salmon.

[@badnewz414]

Keefre where do u fish on the root river... the shore fishing sucks I’m in Milwaukee trying to find decent spots is tough... anywhere decent is surrounded by brush

[@Keefre]

Root River has public access by Quarry Park, Lincoln Park, and a few other parks along the Root. Just look at a map or the DNR website they should have the access spots listed. Quarry Park gets insanely busy during the weekends, so be weary of that. Pike River in Kenosha hasn't been as active for me, but have still seen plenty of fish swimming up the river. Mainly Chinooks. Same thing for public access on the pike try Petrifying Springs County Park, The bridges on County A, and the mouth of the river where it meets lake michigan. Either way, if you don't have some I highly suggest investing in waders. It really opens up a lot of oppurtunities

[@BrandonHvlogs]

Lake Travis is 👌. Might look at hitting that up while your down there. I’ll be in Galveston doing so saltwater fishing action this weekend. Be awesome to see you down there. 🎣🎣🎣

Caught a few, and I saw several 2-4 pounders swim by.

I`m originally from a small town an hour south of Chicago. I moved to the area 6 years ago and have worked in Austin ever since. I`ve driven by all of these places numerous time and didn`t give it any thought to fish the area. Well I hit up the Barton Creek area today and had a couple 2 pounders hit a texas rigged creature bait. Mind you the temps are in the low 50`s and still saw several 4-5 pound fish roaming the shore line. I`ve done the Google Map research on the other places and will be hitting those too. Thank you for the great videos and don`t be a stranger to Austin. FYI, still can`t find any good Chicago food here. lol
