Walter E. Long Fishing Report
- Jul 24, 2024
- GOOD. Water normal stain; 84 degrees. bass fishing has been good. We caught 79 Friday, 30 Saturday, 40 Sunday. Not sure how all the clouds and rain will affect things, but it should slow the schooling action. It’s been great when sunny. Worms and frogs have been good early in the day and when cloudy. Bream still good, stripers good with not so many keepers. Report by David Townsend, Austin Fishing Guide. Lake Decker is fishing well for bass. There is a bit of schooling action, but usually a bit later in the morning. To start, find some nice thick grass and throw Texas-rigged 4-5 inch straight worms to catch ya some. If you notice any action such as bait fish being chased or jumping. Get a rod with a swimbait on it and start chunking. There are hybrids in this lake, and those can be a blast to catch. Big largemouth bass can be mixed in, so be ready. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs. Crappie are good in 15-20 feet of water on chartreuse jigs. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service.
