Lake Fork Anglers next venture is Major League Fishing




Getting our seniors out on the water has been my goal since we started the LFA in 2014. Fishing every other Thursday is fine but that is only 2 days a month. Momma can't have that many to-do lists to keep us off the water. We need to get out and fish more.

We only fish paper tournaments and slot fish do count.

So with 2 other Thursdays open we instituted Faze 4 so those of our boaters who feel they still need help get paired with other boaters to improve their problem with safely driving around Fork and learning new techniques and baits. There is a strict no passing of info policy on this tournament. What you learn stays with you.

So now on the 4th Thursday (and 5th when it occurs) what we call Hard Core will be fishing using a Major League Fishing format. We will fish 6 tournaments into October with any member who catches a bag of at least 6 # advancing to the semi final in November.

At the semi-final the first 10 competitors to catch 8 #'s will advance to the finals. If we don't get an even number of boaters and co-anglers we will fill it in by the number needed of who did the next best.

In December we will fish the final on a portion of the lake unknown in advance to the contestants. The boater and co-angler with the most weight at the end of the day will win.

Everyone fishing this event must already be a member of the LFA which costs $5 a year to join and you must fish at least 8 regular LFA every other Thursday tournaments to participate..

And that is how we get ourselves out of the house and onto the lake!!!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

GOOD. Water Stained; 60 degrees; 0.20 feet above pool. Fork has been good with fish in just about every stage of the spawn. Lots of fish are shallow in 1-4 feet with Texas rigs, yum dingers, chatterbaits, flukes, and swim jigs. Offshore bass are good on humps and points in 5-7 feet of water with Carolina rigs with light weights, mid-running crankbaits, and shaky heads. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Changing weather means changing bite. First phase bass spawners are now in a post spawn pattern and aggressive. Frog pattern topwaters 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, 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. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie are great with some pre-spawn fish, some fish actively spawning and some post spawn. Fish can be found in a few feet of water to 30 feet of water. All crappie on Lake Fork do not go shallow to spawn and we catch fish in 18-20 feet that are spawning on timber. You can also find some fish on brush, lay downs, bridges and docks. It is a very versatile time to catch crappie with multiple patterns. Minnows will work great right now but any crappie baits will catch fish. Try small hand tied jigs and soft plastics. Catfishing is excellent right now on Lake Fork around timber in 12-20 feet. Still seeing loads of fish around roosting trees. Lots of birds in the shallow areas close to the bank in the early mornings chasing shad spawns. The catfish are also up there feeding on shad as well. Use any prepared catfish baits or cut shad on baited holes in the timber. Use a cork with anything a catfish will bite up shallow. Minnows and cut shad will work great on this shallow fish.
