ONE LAST TIME AT LAKE DECKER, TX - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My son and I are moving to Bryan, TX in 2 weeks so we hit up Decker Lake for one last time at 8:30 on Saturday.

The lake was about 3' lower then last visit and the launch ramp had 25 trailers parked there. It looked like everyone was fishing the northside of the lake so we went to the west corner to do a little hydrilla fishing ripping swim jigs over 2'-3' deep water satutared with hydrilla.

All I can say is we had 5 of the most intense blow ups I have ever witnessed. All 12' to 15' from the boat as we were getting ready to pull the jigs in for another cast.

The beast in the first picture missed on his first attempt and ingulfed the jig a second latter! We had 5 solid hits, landed 3 and tried to bounce a 7 pounder on the boat and lost him in about one hour of fishing.

Everything else had been hit so went home at 10:00 and had the boat washed and in the garge by 10:45.

Now we are moving to god's country, going a to be a Aggie fan and become a Lake Summerville assassin....
