Not much new to report. The same patterns continue to produce a few bites each day. The past couple of days, I've been able to catch a few fish on a Santone football jig and a drop shot out in 25-33 ft of water. This is quite a bit deeper than I normally fish this… Read More »
Good day today. The early bite is very good IF you are in the right place. Yesterday, we zeroed on my starting spot and this was a spot that I had 18 on a couple of days prior. Today, we boated a dozen topwater fish early and then switched to the LFT Magic Shad to… Read More »
My apologies for the lack of reports lately. The honest truth is that the lake has been kicking my butt lately. We're catching 15-20 each day, but it hasn't been easy. I wish I could point you in the right direction as far as a solid pattern goes, but I've basically been "junk fishing" for… Read More »
The early morning bite is very good with topwaters producing both size and numbers. It is important to bounce around until you find an area that is holding fish. If they are there, they will let you know in a hurry. Some areas will only produce a fish or two while others will have a… Read More »
Overall, today was a pretty tough day for me. We started out catching some good fish on a crankbait, but once the sun came out around 9 a.m., that bite ended. We caught a couple on a Santone Piglet shaky head with LFT Zig Zag, but we couldn't get much going until later in the… Read More »
The last two days have been mirror images of each other - good early bite and then it slows down to a crawl. I fished two half day trips yesterday, so I got a chance to fish the late evening bite, and it definitely picked back up after 5:00. In fact, my client lost one… Read More »
The fishing on Fork is still pretty good if you're in the right place and doing the right thing. There were a lot of fish that made their move to the banks over the weekend to spawn, so I have a feeling that we are dealing with a lot of post-spawn females right now. Don't… Read More »
Back on the water today, and I had a little different type of trip today. My clients today only wanted to sight fish, and they wanted to look for a double digit. While we didn't find the monster that they were looking for, we did see a lot of fish on beds today. We looked… Read More »
Finished the day with 24 in the boat, with some good quality fish, but no top end fish. That was disappointing, but from talking to others, it was a pretty tough day overall. I feel pretty good about what we were able to catch. We did lose a couple of fish that might have made… Read More »
The lake is up 2.3 ft so far after the rains, and the lake now sits at 400.91 as of this writing (a little over 2 ft below normal pool). The fish seem to have scattered some, but we managed to put an even 20 in the boat yesterday and 18 in the boat today.… Read More »
