Lake Fork Fishing Report for November 2, 2014




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.
November is a great month to fish beautiful Lake Fork, TX. Lake Fork Marina is running a great special on rooms ($50.00 ea.) and 25% off on tackle. This is the best deal Lake Fork, one stop shopping!

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.
