Lake Fork Report 7/23/2015




QUICK REPORT

Water temps are starting out in the morning at around 83-86 degrees and warming up to 88-92 by the late afternoon where I have been fishing. I am mainly fishing in 20′ - 24′ on main lake points, humps and roadbeds. The baits I am using are Santone Lures football head jig in (Mexican Heather) (JC’s Spicy Craw) (Peanut Butter & Jelly)

I have also been throwing a T-Rig with a 5/8 weight, #3 rigging hook with a Zoom Magnum Trick Worm ( Watermelon Red) and a drop shot with a #1 rigging hook, ¼ ounce weight with a 4′’ Zoom Finesse Worm ( Watermelon Red)

We’re catching anywhere from 15-20 fish a day right now and last week I was able to catch an over to help win the Media Bass tournament on Lake Fork. To see the rest of the photos from the past month you can visit my site ericwrightlakefork.com.  I still have plenty of days and evenings open and don’t forget about the summer evening and family specials. Hope y'all are having a great summer and if you have any questions please give me a call.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

GOOD. Water Stained; 60 degrees; 0.20 feet above pool. Bass have slowed, but post spawners are setting up on points in 5-7 feet of water with Carolina rigged creature baits. Topwaters and frogs are good early morning around grass. Shaky heads are good around boat houses. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Changing weather means changing bite. First phase spawners are now in a post spawn pattern and aggressive. Frog pattern top waters are excellent in the grass and brush. Casting into the pockets and letting the frog sit for a few seconds is a good idea. Crappies are shallow, catching them on edge of banks, small fish patterns like wooly buggers are a good bet. Bream are beginning to make themselves known in the shallows, wooly buggers and small poppers should bring a strike.Crappie are good in 2-13 feet on timber and around grass lines. Some fish are moving back out into the 12-18 feet areas and a little deeper. Black crappie are on a few bridges, but fish are not loaded up yet. Black crappie are also grouping under docks on sunny afternoons. Cast 1/16th ounce hand tied jigs continue to be good in white and gray, white and chartreuse and light blue and gray colors. Minnows will still work very well and especially on shallow fish around grass. Soft plastics will also work well as the fish have been very aggressive. We should see the aggressive bite until the warmer months get here and the fish get a little finicky. Catfishing continues to be good around timber where birds are roosting in 10-18 feet. Also getting reports of some shallow catfish around grass lines and sea walls. Those fish are most likely chasing shad spawns. Catfish are cruising around shallow wood in 6-12 feet, with lots of fry showing up. Use your favorite prepared catfish bait to load the boat once you locate the fish.
