Decker Lake - If the wind lays down and let's you fish offshore, the fishing can be great! Utilize your electronics to look for giant schools of offshore bass. We are doing well catching them with swimbaits, jerkbaits, and a fluke junior on a drop shot rig

Low water levels!! Very hot, and warm water... need to get out there early and late if your trying to get on some nice fish! With these low levels... means spookier fish, especially the carp. The sight casting as been second to none though. But, the difficulty has gone up immensely. Definitely need to being your A-game, patience, and a motivation to hook up with these elusive critters. The bite is there if you move about like Yoda. The cfs seems to be very low as well, so fish have been in pools here in central texas. But midday fishing...

Decker Lake - We are catching huge numbers of bass that are roaming open waters in search of schools of Shad. We are targeting these fish with electronics and catching them with swimbaits and jerkbaits.

Decker- We are doing well chasing actively feeding bass on the surface with soft jerkbaits. Just keep your eyes peeled for surface activity around the lake. Depth doesn't really matter as these fish are nomadic and following schools is shad. During lowlight conditions they tend to push the shad into shallower waters, but during high sun periods, they chase the shad out over deeper water. They stay near the surface though.

    My son and I had a great time. We caught a crazy amount of bass. I can’t speak highly enough of Richard our guide and how Derek was great with communication. Will definitely book them again.

    Great day on the water with Ander and my friend Vance. I got to keep two of the bigger fish that I caught to eat! They tasted great with some blackening spices and butter. I'll recommend Ander to anyone looking to have a wonderful time fishing!

    We had an awesome trip with Captain John! He was an absolute pro and knew where to take us to find the schools. Even with less-than-perfect conditions, John put us right on top of the action. We caught a huge variety — stripers, white bass, drum, and some catfish! All six of us landed several fish and had a fantastic time out on the water. John filleted our catch at the dock, and we made ceviche the same day. Highly recommend booking with Captain John.
