Lake Fork has been pretty stingy the past couple of weeks. We have had a couple of good days here and there, but for the most part, it's really tough. The lake is falling (currently 6.20 ft low), and water temps are in the 88-91 degree range. This is the time of year when the… Read More »
It's been a good week for us here on Lake Fork with several fish over 6 pounds caught by my clients and me. We are still finding most of our fish in deeper water, and 18-21 feet seems to be the best depth for me. As far as baits and presentations go, a drop shot,… Read More »
Lake Fork is still turning over, and the fishing remains tough (for the most part). The best bite seems to be shallow, and if you can find some submerged vegetation, you will find some fish. The lake is sitting at 399.36 or 3.64 ft below normal pool. Water temps have been in the mid-80s, but… 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 »
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 »
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 »
We only got to fish until noon today due to the high winds. We still managed to boat 13 bass up to 8.69 lbs. Most of our fish today were caught on squarebill crankbaits (Jackall Aska 60 SR and Jackall Bling 55), but we did catch a few on a drop shot before the wind… Read More »
Well, due to the 38 degree night that we had here last night, the water temp fell about 7 or 8 degrees and we lost a lot of the momentum that we had built yesterday afternoon. To say that it was a struggle this morning would be an understatement. Luckily, we got dialed in a… Read More »
Fished a half day this afternoon. The lake is sitting at 397.5 (5.5 ft below full pool). Water temp at the 515 East public ramp was 56.0. Warmest water I found this afternoon was 59.2, and that's where we caught the majority of our fish. Finished the afternoon with 14 in the boat, with 2… Read More »
