Results from May 12:

Well I doubt the guides are complaining now because the bass have finally starting moving in their post spawn mode and are eating too. Out of 33 only 2 were skunked and some real nice bags were weighed.



1st place went to Bob Roberts with a 12 keeper fish at 24.00 pounds anchored THE 7.84 lunker
Only the five largest count..
2nd place went to Stan Norton with 9 fish for 17.69 with a 6.04 lunker .
3rd place went to Jack White with 7 fish for 13.12 pounds and a 4.64 lunker.
4th place went to Steve Chick with 9 fish for 9.74 and a 5.35 lunker
5th place went to Bill Ailes with 5 fish for 9.52 with a 7.03 lunker.
6th place went to John Berech with 4 fish for 9.42 with a 4.83 lunker..

We paid 6 places and had 33 anglers fishing and caught 125 fish and lot of them were quality slots. One guy reported he had a big over break off the back hook of his yellow magic.


How are those weights even possible. Because we measure and release, and record on a laminated sheet.

John Berech Broke his e lunker at 4.83 and bag weight at 9.42

The LFA fishes every other Thursday daytime at Lake Fork only. Persons interested in joining or fishing as a guest should e-mail me at [email protected].

Here is your opportunity to fish with friendly knowledgeable Lake Fork anglers for the cost of a $5 annual dues and a $13 entry fee. Slot fish count. No teams. We are currently at below cap and are looking for a some boaters who will also fill in as co-anglers if needed and we will also accept "guests" who generally get to fish when regular members are away.
Actually none of our guests has sat one out as yet.

Sometimes Fork is a big question mark. But even though we don't always slay them a few will find them. This week more than a few slayed them

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.
