GOOD. Water stained; 61 degrees; 2.08’ low. Largemouth bass are good on plastic worms, spinners, lizards, and Alabama rigs. Traditional spots have been most successful such as points, shallower mid-lake spots, and standing timber. Across from Lake Fork Marina has been a steady spot. White and yellow bass are good on Alabama Rigs. Crappie are fair on jigs and minnows under the docks and among the stumps. Catfish are good on prepared bait and cut bait.
