Happy Easter! This was a short week due it being Easter week. The fishing was great all week. The Bass spawn is in full swing and they are on beds everywhere on the lake. The Lake Fork Trophy Lures Hyper Stick still was the major fish producer this week. The split shot rig was the primary way we fished it, however a couple of days, the wind was mild and we fished it weightless. The other bait that produced a lot of fish was the zoom fluke, pearl white color worked the best. We also dyed the tails of the fluke chartreuse. The rod and reel combination of choice this week continued to the Ardent Apex reels and Ardent Denny Brauer Signature rods. What a combination!
The White Bass have went nuts this week. I found them on humps in 15 foot of water. Joe’s spoon was the ticket once more this week for them. Also small Crappie jigs tipped with small minnows also worked.
Crappie fishermen continued to be pleased. The best Crappie were being taken out of 4 to 6 feet of water on minnows.
The Catfish are also in that 4 to 6 foot range. The Catfish are mixed in with the Crappie and are driving the Crappie fishermen crazy. Cut bait and minnows were the baits of choice this week.
While you are at beautiful Lake Fork make sure to stop into Lake Fork Marina and check out the latest in tackle for those trophy Lake Fork Bass and Crappie. They have the latest in Crappie jigs and soft plastics for the Bass. Don’t forget to check out the new Ardent Apex reels. What a buy especially if they are matched with the Denny Brauer Signature rods.
