Lake Fork Anglers Faze 4 Thursday daytime tournament for May 4 was perhaps the worst weather but the best fishing day you could expect for the the beginning of May. When we arrived for registration is was already blowing, when we got to the ramp it was a sustained 30 and when we came back in at 2 PM it kind of reminded me of Lake Champlain with it's ten foot rollers.

But the fishing was a whole different story. Nobody skunked, lots of nice slots caught. Good teams weights all around.


Faze 4 is a draw team competition where our members are paired together for the benefit of everyone that still need help in learning and improving. Boat driving safely around Fork, Techniques, baits and spots.

The teams are allowed to count their best ten fish, slots count.

Fairly new member Don Cox, co-angler fishing with (consistent club winner) Charlie Abresch caught 11 bass of which the top 10 count for 32.74 and Don had a 6.17 lunker and Charlie had a 5.08 lunker. For first place.


Second place team of Jack White and Rick Green on their 10 biggest for the boat came in with 28.95 including the lunker of the day caught by Jack at 6.64.

Third place team of Bruce Allen and John Markos on their biggest 10 for 21.39 anchored by John's 5.08. Actually there were 4-- 5.08's caught today.


For info on fishing with the LFA e-mail me at [email protected] or PM me on here. We are looking for co-anglers and boaters.
Dues is $5 a year. Tournaments are $12 with an optional $5 lunker pot and an optional $10 big bag pot.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.23 feet above pool. Fork : Top waters early around pond weed and grass with frogs and poppers still working . Mid morning chatter baits on the outside edge of grass in 3-5 ft is good as well as shaky heads . Best bite is Carolina rigs off shore on points , road beds and humps in 12-25 ft . Big worms and flukes are good . Deep Cranks are good over the same area when the fish are suspending 19-23 ft . Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Small fish patterns like a dock knocker are producing bass and crappie shallow near grass. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been super up and down this past week. The fish are stacked up on brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs and some trees. The bite is the tricky part. Some days the bite is good and the bigger fish show up. Some days the bite is just off and the short fish show up. Seems like the bite may be better on days we have a little breeze. If the winds are calm the bite is very slow. Minnows will get some bites but small 1/32nd ounce hand tied jigs with small bodies and tails are working well on fish that don’t want to bite. Best depths have been 18-13ft with most fish suspended on trees and loaded in the brush. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
