A great week on beautiful Lake Fork! We continued to have rain through the week here which brought the lake to a ½ inch above full pool. The water temperatures ranged from 75 to 78 degrees with the water clarity being heavily stained over the whole lake. The Bass fishing was good all week. The top water bite was really good all week using the Strike King KVD Sexy frogs and Norman buzz baits. The back-up approach to catching the Bass was the good old Carolina rig. We caught several good fish in 12 to 14 foot of water off the main lake points using the Carolina rigged Zoom Baby Brush Hogs and the Lake Fork Trophy Lures Hyper Stick. The best colors were June bug or black with blue flake.

The White Bass have gone crazy this week. Joe Spaits Flashtail ½ ounce spoon in the white with black strip pattern really worked great. The White Bass have started to relocate to main lake brush piles and isolated structure. 19 to 22 foot was the best water depth to look for.

The Crappie fishing was also pretty good this week. The straight minnow rig or a white with chartreuse tail crappie jig tipped with a Crappie minnow worked the best. 18 to 20 foot of water over brush piles will tend to get you your limit.

The Catfish have once again started to move to the deeper water. Look for them in 25 foot or deeper using Punch bait and a #6 treble hook. Baiting the holes also is very effective.

Lake Fork Marina has a good selection of Strike King frogs and Joe Spaits Flashtail spoons. So while you are here at Lake Fork, stop in and see the friendly staff and pick up the Strike King products and a snack to hit the water with.
