Decker 5/4/24, Launched at 6:15AM, Cloudy with slight haze all day and mist, water temps were 71-74 (!!) Hey everyone! New here, but I love finding any local forum for the fishing boys! Hit Decker last Friday and it continues to crush, between my buddy and I we landed 38 fish total, with a 5 limit bag of 19.33lb! Buddy landed hog of the day at 6.83lb on a free weight rig. Soft plastic beavers and worms were the ticket especially on drop shots and free weight rigs. Black, blue and morning... Just Found This Thread- Continuing to Deck Fish at Decker ..read more

Launched at 5 am under I-35. Bite was slow early, but managed a few dinks before sunrise on a TR. Once the sun appeared things picked a bit. Managed a dozen or so including a few decent 18-20 inchers. Top water bite was non existent. Caught a few on this and a few on that. Burning a craw pattern squarebill over the grass caught the most and biggest fish. Off the water by 10:30. Decent day and glad to have gotten out for a bit. [ATTACH... LBL 5/4/24 ..read more

and travis is up only a few hundredths of a foot. so disappointed. seriously. from 630.29 to 620.48 wasnt the rise i expected. hopefully now the ground is saturated and the rest of this weekend's rain can go to the lake. still wont amount to a hill of beans but maybe it can get to 633 which still wont open any more ramps, but its a start ..read more

Fished Tuesday, launched at N Shore. Pounded the stump cove the fist two hours and caught 2 on a Chatterbait. Wind picked up and I graphed some fish at 15'. I started winging Berkley Fritzside and cranks in 15' and caught 7 schooling size. Took a break and had lunch and a nap. Went back out that evening, wind had backed off so I broke out the Nessie ! I boated 5 more in two hours, several larger ones agaist the deep reed edges. They can't stand it. Got to try one. (Pic option not working ..read more

I woke at my usual weekend time and went about preparing for fishing. I really didn’t want to, but after a while, I took a peek at the KXAN Fake Radar and was actually happy with what I saw. It was a thick, lightning-studded squall line stretching across Texas and all the way up to the Midwest. It appeared that the southern tip would graze our area as it sped east. According to the “future” radar model, the whole thing should fizzle out west of I-35 around 7:30AM. I listened to a Lynyrd... Lady Bird 4/28/24 ..read more

Last weekend was not fished because of my first (once removed) cousin’s wedding in Oklahoma City. On the way there Friday (after fishing Decker of course) we stopped in Davis, OK at Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies for lunch. We stayed at the Colcord across the street from where the Thunder were beginning their playoff run. Before the wedding in Edmond, we went to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. I took a picture of the Buffalo Bill statue that you can see from the... Bastrop 4/27/24 ..read more

with the opening of yet another lake (boisdarc lake north of lubbock) that might as well be on the moon for me because there's no way i am driving that far to fish it is time to have the discussion of why the state or feds wont build another navigable reservoir here in the fastest growing part of the entire country. sure we have lots of lake around here, travis, austin, stillhouse, belton, gtown, bastrop, fayette, decker, marble falls, within 60 miles or so, but they are all choked with... new lake ..read more
