On May 30, 2015 the Lake Fork Anglers will be hosting a "Meet & Greet" for fishing folks interested in joining our club.

We fish every other Thursday daytime, weather permitting. We start in the morning at Oak Ridge Marina, SH 154 Quitman, TX with registration and about an hour later members may launch from any ramp on the lake to begin their 8 hours of fishing.

After 8 hours (or less depending on the weather and the team fishing) they must stop fishing and then have 30 minutes to get back to Oak Ridge for the "weighin".

We use that word lightly because what we actually do is catch the bass,, measure it's length, record that on a laminated sheet (each member has their own) and then release the fish on the spot sometimes after picture taking if it is a biggun.

When we get back to Oak Ridge our tournament director adds up the fish in pounds and the best five fish will count for each angler. We payout the top 3 and lunker. And a 1/10th goes to the club for expenses.

After the winners tell "the story" of with what, where and how it is sometimes a mad dash to the tackle shop to buy that winning bait.

So as you can see it is not about the money. It is about the enjoyment of spending the day on the water with fellow competitors but also about improving our techniques and spots. Our dues is $5 annually and tournaments are $12 paid out 5 ways.

Come on down on the 30th in the afternoon and enjoy some good food and fishing talk. See who we are and what we are about.

On May 30th at 4 PM we will be holding a meet and greet. Persons Interested in what we do and possibly joining are invited to attend.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

GOOD. Water Stained; 60 degrees; 0.28 feet below pool. Bass fishing has been slow due to the fluctuating weather patterns. The best bite has been on frogs behind the grass and Texas rigs in front of the grass. Yum dingers are good around flooded grass in 1-3 feet deadsticking rigged wacky worms. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Bass have moved up and are nesting, small crawfish patterns will work well. Frog pattern top waters are excellent in the grass and brush. Crappie are shallow, small fish patterns like wooly buggers are a good bet. Bream are beginning to make themselves known in the shallows, wooly buggars and small poppers should bring a strike.Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie fishing has been up and down and all over the place this past week. Patterns are not just changing weekly or daily but sometimes hourly. Fish can be in water deeper than 30 feet, or as shallow as 1 foot. Seeing fish around grass, around timber, under bridges, under docks and on ledges. There are very few fish on brush piles and lay downs. Finding fish all over the bridge in the morning then gone that afternoon. The cold fronts and winds have really made finding patterns that will hold up difficult. Not seeing very many fish spawned out yet, so we should have shallow fish for the next months. The bite when you do find fish, and they do not run, is good on small hand ties, minnows, soft plastics. The catfish bite continues to be red hot in 12-18 feet of water around trees that have birds roosting overnight. We should see fish showing back up around trees along creek channels in 18-25 feet of water as well. Bait the area with cattle cubes or sour grain to get the catfish loaded up. Any prepared catfish bait works great and we have been having great trips using punch bait. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
