Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:59 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview San Antonio

Fishing in San Antonio revolves around a mix of urban ponds, mid-sized reservoirs, and nearby Hill Country rivers, giving anglers plenty of options within an hour of town. The main draws are largemouth bass, catfish, panfish, seasonal white bass runs, and winter trout stocking in select city waters. Most lakes are small enough to fish effectively from shore or a kayak, which fits perfectly with quick San Antonio fishing trips before or after work.

Seasonally, spring is prime time across the region. Warming water pushes largemouth bass shallow in Calaveras and Braunig lakes, as well as smaller city impoundments like Woodlawn Lake and Miller’s Pond. Focus on flooded brush, riprap, and marina edges with weightless soft plastics, Texas-rigged creature baits, and shallow crankbaits. In March and April, look for white bass in the upper reaches of nearby Canyon Lake and Medina Lake feeder rivers; small shad-pattern crankbaits, inline spinners, and 1/8 oz jigs are staples.

Summer fishing in San Antonio means early and late windows. As the sun climbs, bass slide to deeper structure—points, channel swings, and submerged humps. At Calaveras and Braunig, power-plant warming keeps fish active; work Carolina rigs, deep-diving crankbaits, and swimbaits along drops in 10–20 feet. Night fishing can be excellent around lit fishing piers and bridges, especially for channel cats and blue cats using cut shad, stink bait, or chicken liver on slip-sinker rigs.

Fall brings a shallow bite back to life across most San Antonio lakes. Shad and sunfish push into creeks and coves, and bass follow. Cover water with squarebill crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and walking topwaters over rocky shorelines and around docks. This is also a strong time for crappie on vertical cover and bridge pilings; drop small jigs or minnows right into brush piles and hold tight to get bit.

Winter fishing centers on catfish and stocked trout. City lakes such as Miller’s Pond and Southside Lions Park are commonly stocked with rainbow trout in the cooler months, and they respond well to small inline spinners, trout dough, and salmon-egg style baits on light line. For catfish, target deeper channels, dam faces, and holes off main-lake points with fresh cut bait. Slow down presentations and let baits soak longer as water temperatures dip.

Habitat around San Antonio is a mix of riprap, small rock, submerged timber, and man-made structure. Key in on any change: a point jutting into a flat, a brush pile off a dock, or the first drop from a shallow bank into deeper water. Shore anglers do well by mobile fishing—fan-casting from each access point with a blend of bottom rigs, suspending baits under slip bobbers for panfish, and moving lures like small swimbaits or lipless crankbaits for roaming bass.

Tactical tips for San Antonio fishing include downsizing tackle and staying stealthy on heavily pressured urban waters. Finesse worms on light Texas rigs, Ned rigs, and small jigs draw strikes when larger baits fail. In the often-clear Hill Country rivers and Canyon Lake, fluorocarbon leaders and natural colors pay off. Keep a simple kit in the truck—a medium spinning rod, small tackle box, and a few proven lures—so you can take advantage of the many quick-access spots scattered throughout the San Antonio area.

The Best Fishing Spots around San Antonio

Calaveras Lake

A warm-water power-plant reservoir southeast of San Antonio, Calaveras Lake is famous for stocked red drum, along with hybrid striped bass, blue and channel catfish, and largemouth bass; spring through fall sees consistent action on points and rip-rap, while winter power-generation keeps bait and predators active near the discharge, and paddlers or boaters can work deeper structure when the sun is high.

Victor Braunig Lake

Just south of the city, Victor Braunig Lake draws crowds for redfish (stocked), hybrid striped bass, catfish, and largemouth bass; anglers target windblown banks, submerged humps, and the warm-water zones, with dawn and dusk topwater bites in summer and steady catfish action around channel edges and flooded brush most of the year.

Canyon Lake

A deep, clear Hill Country reservoir north of New Braunfels, Canyon Lake offers striped bass, largemouth and smallmouth bass, white bass, crappie, and catfish; boaters troll points and river channels for linesides at first light, while shore anglers find spring and fall bites on rocky banks and marinas when baitfish stack shallow.

Guadalupe River (Tailrace)

Below Canyon Dam near Canyon Lake and New Braunfels, the Guadalupe River tailrace is renowned for trout in cool flows, plus smallmouth and largemouth bass, sunfish, and seasonal white bass; drifting nymphs or in-line spinners in seams and eddies excels in cooler months, while summer brings topwater and finesse bites in shaded runs.

Medina Lake

Set in the Hill Country west of San Antonio, Medina Lake features rocky shorelines and clear water with largemouth bass, striped and white bass, catfish, and crappie; spring brings bass to shallow coves and marinas, while summer and fall anglers work deep ledges, points, and the old river channel by boat or from accessible banks.

Choke Canyon Reservoir

About an hour south near Three Rivers, Choke Canyon is a big-water destination for largemouth bass, blue and channel catfish, crappie, and gar; flooded brush, timber, and creek mouths produce in spring, and offshore humps and river-channel bends turn on as temperatures rise, with both boat and shoreline opportunities in coves and park areas.

San Antonio River

Flowing through the city’s greenways, the San Antonio River offers urban access to largemouth bass, sunfish, carp, and catfish; anglers walk-and-cast along the Mission Reach and other stretches, targeting current breaks, bridge pilings, and vegetated edges, while kayakers cover more water and probe deeper pools for cruising fish.

Lake McQueeney

An impoundment of the Guadalupe River near Seguin, Lake McQueeney produces largemouth bass, catfish, sunfish, and occasional white bass; docks, seawalls, and cypress-lined cuts hold fish year-round, with spinnerbaits and soft plastics around shade in summer and slower presentations along channels in cooler months.

Woodlawn Lake

A classic urban lake in central San Antonio, Woodlawn Lake provides convenient access to catfish, sunfish, and bass; pedestrians work the banks, piers, and inflow areas, while small craft probe drop-offs and the dam face, with early and late bites best when baitfish cruise shoreline grass and concrete edges.
