Lake Fork : The Bass fishing was very good for us this week at Lake Fork. Again we averaged 25-50 Bass per day and the largest Bass for the week weighed a little over 6 lbs. We fished a couple of other lakes as well this week and caught a lot of fat healthy Bass in the 3-5 lb range. Unless something happens due to a change in the weather, the Bass fishing is going to be good for some time now. We were able to catch a lot of very nice Bass using 1/4 oz Shakey Heads and C Rigs fishing Zoom Super Flukes and Baby Brush Hogs. The best color this week for us was Green Pumpkin and most of the larger fish were caught in 16 feet of water.
The water temperature was in the Mid 70's and it's just about perfect to get the fish active and aggressive chasing the bait fish. The water clarity was off color a little this week and was stained in some areas and clearing up in others. The water level today is 400.72 or 90% full and is still slowly falling.
The Crappie are still biting good when fishing over heavy brush in 21-24 feet of water and it's not to tough catching limit of Crappie right now. 1/4 oz Jigs are working great!
The Cat fishing is doing good and should remain good until we start getting some hard cold fronts that will start dropping the water temperature.
I have guides that can put you on the Bass, Crappie or Catfish and right now is the time to go and enjoy this great Fall weather. Contact me to 214.236.3320 or email us at [email protected] to schedule a fishing trip today.
Until the next report, good luck and great fishing!
