In LBL (town lake).....find cover in deep water. shad colored lipless crankbaits and soft plactics have been working for me. Topwaters early also.

Have never fished Decker

On decker I always throw a watermelon seed lizard T-rigged against the reeds and it pays off most of the time...

On Decker try the deep point as you are making your way around to the hot water side. Many times they will bunch up there this time of year. It's the point where the submerged ski boat was against the bank a couple of years ago.

back to town lake, i don't have a fish finder, where is the easiest place to find deep cover? and what brand crankbait are you using?

 

[HERZOG]

I don't have a depth finder either. That whole lake is filled with giant boulders. There are a bunch between the mopac bridge and AHS on the south shore. You can see a lot of them in the water......just go deeper and throw something along the bottom to see if you can feel any in the deeper water. Once you find them...just remember where they are b/c if there is not any fish on them right now...there will be at some point.

Brand of crankbait is does not matter (IMO). The fish have been feeding on shad...so just throw something that is similar

That's a nice tip. I just wish I could get to that area with my boat from the I35 ramp in less than an hour+... oh well.
