Lake Dacade fishing

Look for deep holes along the edges of the lake. The lake overall is shallow but watch your depth finder and you can find some of them.

Also you can catch trout in those canals as well as redfish along with bass.

Will do. Stay tuned.

I’m looking at a NE wind so I am thinking about starting at the point that juts into the lake and letting the boat drift across naturally.
I will be all artificial tomorrow. Popping corks and plastics.
Spinnerbaits off the bank in the canals and plastics in the reeds is what I was told.

I usually drift across the lake.

My daddy has a camp in fisherman’s retreat, he fishes dacade a good bit. Believe he fishes the deeper holes as previous poster suggested. Good luck.

Hearing of some really good bass fishing stories from the area.

The same thing happened to me on my last three trips to Lake Decade (Dec. and Jan.) I never saw more than 2 boats fishing in the lake on those trips. I've been hoping the lake turns on. It might if we get another freeze. Thanks for the report. You've made me decide not to stop in Decade. I will try Mechant and Lost Lake.

I had a couple good trips in there in November and December. First time in a few years that I have productive trips to decade.

With the new levees going up the lake is becoming more fresh. Trout haven’t been really thick in there for a few years.

This.

Decade was always a good late fall area. We'd always fish it during LSU Football season.

Yep. About 6 years ago, I counted over 70 boats nailing the specs in Decade. Those days are gone.
