Fishing Location Spotlight: Lake Buchanan

Nestled in the heart of Texas Hill Country, Lake Buchanan is a hidden gem for anglers looking to reel in a big catch without the crowds. If you're in search of a quieter fishing experience with the chance to land some impressive striper, this is the place to be. 

Lake Buchanan offers a serene fishing environment, making it an ideal destination for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle. Unlike some of the more popular lakes in the area, this spot often remains peaceful, giving you plenty of space to cast your line and enjoy the calm waters.

We've found that some of the best action happens near the dam, where the striper tend to congregate. Using swim baits has been particularly effective in this area. On our recent outing, we managed to hook a nice keeper that ended up on our dinner table.

One of the perks of landing a good-sized striper is turning it into a delicious meal. We recently whipped up some striper tacos, using our favorite Grit from local small business, Stewart Spice & Tool (www.spiceandtool.com). If you're looking for a seasoning that adds a punch of flavor, we highly recommend giving them a try. And don’t forget to let them know Cast & Pedal sent ya!

We stumbled across this informational website and think you all could find it super useful! It has water levels, weather forecasts and even a newsletter for the Lake! Find events to check out during the weekend, cabins to rent, restaurants and where the marinas are! Heck it has so much info on this site you better bookmark this one after you bookmark Cast and Pedal. You can plan a whole weekend out here with our kayaks having a grand adventure!
