Fished out there this morning.
It was so-so. I got a few small bites early on a Texas rigged brush hog. Lost one at the boat on a frog by the discharge.
Caught one that was right at 5.5lbs in the upper end of the right arm. Caught him on a Texas rigged bubblegum trick worm of all things. VERY NICE and healthy fish. One more in that same area around 1-2lbs and that was it.
There wasn’t many people out there at all. No wake boats running around or nothing. Was pretty peaceful and quiet. My family and I are staying at the south shore park on Bastrop, not many people here either. Very strange.
I wouldn’t rush back up there to Decker but it was nice. That ramp is a terrible design. Barely made it up the ramp on the way out. You’d think they’d at least groove that pavement before that steep [censored] drop off.
Also, one of the guys I was talking to out there on the lake said it was closing down to boats soon? How true is this?
I mentioned it above, because I thought they had already closed it. Supposed to do some dam work, but sounds like it’s in 2025. Interesting. I didn’t find anything online about it. Didn’t know if that guy was persuading me to not come back or what lol

Thanks for the link! I wasn’t doubting what you were saying by the way, I meant I didn’t find it online so it must not be wide spread knowledge. Looks like they will reopen once the work on the dam is complete. That dude I was talking to on the water earlier made it seem like it was closing indefinitely soon It was a beautiful little lake and glad I went to it. I just wouldn’t wake up from south Houston to make it a day trip up there. Definitely will return if nearby though.
