As one who lived in and around the River City for 16 years, I would reccomend that you try Town Lake. From shore you can catch large mouth bass, perch (bluegills to us Yankees) and even some crappie.

If you have access to a vehicle and can get out of the city, drive down to San Marcos and fish the San Marcos River, or the Guadelupe. The Guadelupe has year round trout fishing. Both are good for smallies as well. Norht of Austin is Round Rock. My old stomping grounds. There is a park off of down town that you can fish from shore and catch some bass and blue gills.
