Fall is definitely here at Lake Fork. This week the water temperatures dropped in to the upper 60’s with the help of some north winds. The winds switched back out of the South and the Bass reacted to the change. The crankbait bite returned and the Carolina rig bite was definitely on. With the main lake still showing signs of lake turn over, we went to the Zoom Baby Brush Hog in green pumpkin/red on our Carolina rigs. The good ole KVD 1.5 square bill crankbait in gizzard shad color caught numerous fish every day. Our tackle choice this week remained the Ardent Apex Tournament and Pro reels coupled up with Ardent Denny Brauer Signature rods.
The White Bass and Yellow Bass fishing remained very good. We found the better White/Yellow Bass were being caught in 19 to 21 foot of water. I know it is hunting season but dads you need to bring your kids out and let them catch some of these White Bass. All you have to do is put one of Joe’s white and black flashtail spoons on and vertically jig it up and down and the kids will get their line yanked. They will have a ball!
The Crappie fishermen were still doing well and finding out the Crappie are relating more and more to the bridges. Good Crappie are being caught using white/pink Crappie jigs and minnow rigs in 18 to 20 foot of water.
The Catfishing remains really good here on Lake Fork. Catfish up to 70 pounds are being caught on rod and reel using Jell-O bait and punch bait. Jell-O bait is still out performing everything! The best water depth is 32 to 35 foot of water around baited trees.
