Andrew Grills, Giant Fork Bass from the last 2 weeks!




I thought I would post some nice fish from the past few days. It has not been too bad lately. The water temperature is perfect across the lake for this time of year and fish are moving up. I believe a lot of the fish above the 515 bridges are in the process of spawning or wrapping it up, with maybe another smaller wave that will in the coming days. I have been trying to target prespawners as long as possible and it has been working out well. This week the bite for big fish got a little tougher for me but we still managed a few big ones with decent numbers.

I am targeting fish in a broad depth range but staying deeper (8-20') on calm sunny days and a little shallower if we have wind or clouds. Also keep in mind that some fish will suspend just below the surface in deeper water before they move into spawning areas. I think they do this more on warm sunny days to get some warmth from the sun on their backs.

Here are some nice fish my customers have caught the past few days. Please check my website often for up tp date fishing reports, http://LakeForkGuideAndrewGrills.com

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

GOOD. Water Stained; 60 degrees; 0.67 feet above pool. Lake Fork flood gates are open which can make the bite tough. The best bite has been on shaky heads and Carolina rigs on main lake points and secondary points in 5-8 feet of water. Squarebill crankbaits are catching a few in the same areas. Frog bite is slow over flooded grass. Yum dingers are fair at the edge of the grass 2-4 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork has been great this week if you find the right areas and patterns to fish. The spawn is coming to an end and the black crappie are beginning to load up on certain bridges and docks. If you search you can find some big schools of keeper size black crappie. We have had to battle heavy rains, terrible winds and even thunderstorms lately a lot. Hopefully we will see more stable weather conditions over the next few weeks. You can still find some larger white crappie on timber in 10-22ft. Also seeing some white crappie loading up on certain brush in some areas close to where they spawned. Jigs and minnows are both producing well right now and should stay the same until around June or July. Catfishing is still hot on Lake Fork. Baited holes in 12-20ft along creek channels are doing great for channel cats. Use cattle cubes or sour grain to get them to hold in one spot. Then use any prepared catfish bait or cut shad to load the boat with eater sized catfish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
