Kayak Bass Fishing the Colorado River

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Another adventure in the Hobie kayaks with me and Craig. We head to the Colorado river just outside of Austin, TX to see if we can find some good river spotted bass. With a big rain the night before, creating lots of current and muddy water, it was tough to fish and even harder to get paddle against the river. With such a long trip, about 16 miles, we had to get it in gear and paddle our way down the river for many hours just to make sure we got off the water in time. We managed to catch 4 bass, enjoy a good work out with good scenery, and have an adventure to remember for sure!

You need to redeem yourself on the Colorado. 16 miles is too long of a stretch to do in one day, you'll spend most of your time paddling instead of fishing. During the summer months you can do the 9 mile stretch by launching off of 71 and 183, then pulling out right off of 973 and 71 near the airport. This is a common 12 hour Saturday trip for us local guys since you drift along with minimum paddling and still have time for an hour lunch break/swim. My favorite spot on the Colorado is actually between 973 and Toll road 130, it's about a 1/2 mile stretch but you have open deep water for cranking or throwing out flukes. It's also filled with thick hydrilla in some spots for those top water frogs. Hit up some local guys for more info next time, most of us would be happy to help.

I have fished that river twice! Once with a guide and me and my brother caught like 39 bass. A couple of cats and a few white bass! I went on my own and caught 20 whites and 10 other bass. Its a good river to fish but you really need a boat. Bank fishing for cats can be good there too! I liked your film. You are honest and din't bs us! Some time you catch fish and other times you catch sun! I use my 14. 3 Jackson Big Tuna with 55 trolling motor with my two dogs. Good times!

This reminds me of some local adventures I've been on. Sometimes you get skunked, but that has never stopped me. I enjoy seeing you get off the lakes and into the skinny water I'm used to here in central MA. I use a retractable motor on my kayak to go from point A to B. Saves the legs and arms and doesn't get hung up. Keep the adventures coming!

Crazy seeing a video of you literally in my backyard. I grew up there and my mother still lives just outside the park gates. I spent many days at that boat ramp. Little webberville park to big webberville park might have been a better option. 3 to 4 hours depending on current.

I went to Bastrop in April and fished this river. The water was really clear and I didn't think I'd catch anything but I ended up catching a limit everyday. What surprised me most was there were smallmouth in here. Throw red eye shads and 1/2 oz football jigs

Like the video's man! I'm a fellow yak fisherman myself and there is no better way to fish. Has anyone ever told you look like Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons? Lol I'm a Falcons fan by the way.

You do know that Hydrilla is an invasive species right? It's not native to the lower colorado river. Meaning its a bad thing that It has it in the river.
