Lake Fork:
We have received a lot of rain this Fall here at Lake Fork and right now the current lake level is full at 403.13. The lake is in good shape and the water clarity is a little stained in some areas while clear in most. Now that the lake is full again, we have a lot of brush to fish in and around along the shore line and plenty of places for the Bass and bait fish to hide. This is going to be especially helpful for the Bass fishing during the spawn just a few months away.

Fishing conditions have been good just about all Fall for the Bass and Crappie here at Fork. Even though the Bass are now in a Winter pattern and have moved out to deeper water, you can still catch some real nice fish up shallow. Along with Lake Fork we are now fishing on both power plant lakes (Lake Welch and Lake Monticello.) If it's anything like last year, both lakes provided some good Bass fishing action all through the Winter until mid April.

The Crappie fishing here at Lake Fork this Fall has been good between all of the rain storms and we have caught some of the largest Crappie this year that I have seen in a long time. I will post some pictures at www.lakeforkproguides.com. We have been using jigs most of the time and fishing in about 34 feet of water. Weather permitting we should have some good Crappie trips in deep water through February.

If you would like to fish for either Bass or Crappie or do a combo trip to fish for both during the Winter, you can fish for a Lake Fork Trophy Bass and then take some fish home to eat. Give us a call or text me at 214.236.3320 or email us at [email protected]. We clean and bag your fish for you at no charge and we furnish all tackle and equipment. I have guides available for just about any date right now and we are already taking reservations for the 2016 Spring Bass fishing season. A fishing trip would make a nice Christmas gift for someone and we have gift certificates available. Be sure to book early enough to get the dates you would like and reserve rooms if you need them because the motels will fill up fast for the Spring.

This has been a very good fishing year and we would like to Thank everyone that has fished with us here at Lake Fork and in Mexico. We appreciate your business and we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Many of you have already scheduled your fishing trips and we look forward to seeing you again in 2016.

Mexico Reports:
Lake Picachos:
I have just returned from Bass fishing on Lake Picachos and the Bass fishing was great! I took a group of 12 fishermen this time and just about everyone was averaging over 100 Bass per boat per day. Some of the fishermen were catching over 200 Bass per day while we were there and having a great time. Most of the Bass were from 2-4 lbs with some 5-6 lbers mixed in and the largest Bass boated was 8.7 lbs. This is only the second year that lake Picachos has been open for fishing and it is loaded with fish that are growing fast. We set the lake record last year with a 12.13 on this young lake and Picachos is going to produce a lot of Big Bass in the very near future. We caught most of our Bass this time on Top Water Baits, Lizards and Deep Diving Crank Baits . This lake has some of the best Bass fishing action to offer anywhere right now. I have spent several years on Picachos now working with the guides and finding some of the best places to fish and can show you some great spots. This lake is awesome and is easy to get to and very easy to fish. It's only about bout 35 minutes from the airport and Great for everyone. This is a must fish lake!

Lake El Salto:
I just had another group return from El Salto and again the Bass fishing was awesome with catches up to 125 Bass per day. Their largest Bass weighed right a 9 lbs with some good top water action as well. El Salto is going to produce some Big Bass again this year and is just now getting started. It should be good for several months and is easy to get to from Mazatlan airport. It is about one hour and fifty minutes from the airport.

Lake Comedero:
I am taking a group of 12 to Comedero on Monday and I will post a report when we return. We have just reopened the camp after being closed for four years. Comedero has produced many Big Bass for us in the past and we have landed several Bass 14 lbs. Comedero is about three hours from the Mazatian airport and we looking forward to fishing there again.
