Video - Lake Fork Bass Fishing Tip - How to Choose a Jig Trailer




Hey bass fishing fans, check out the below video to see how to choose the best soft plastic trailer for your bass jig. A jig is a great way to catch late summer largemouth in both shallow and deep water. I like to flip 3/8 oz to 1/2 oz jigs to standing timber in 8-12 ft, or drag a 3/4 or 1 oz football jig on main lake points, humps and roadbeds in 15-25 ft. On sunny calm days the flipping bite has been best while on windy days the deep structure bite has been the better choice. Make sure to choose the best trailer for your jig when fishing Lake Fork in August and hang on tight! Thanks for watching and for all of the great comments!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 25)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.28 feet above pool. There is a good morning bass bite around pond weed and grass with topwater baits and flukes. Bass are good in front of the weeds with chatterbaits and spinnerbaits in 3-5 feet. Midday bite is best on points and humps with Texas rigs and Carolina rigs in 12-22 feet with big worms and flukes. Deep diving crankbaits are good over road beds, points and humps in 19-26 feet with shad patterned, or chartreuse/blue/black crankbaits. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at midday when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Drop a clouser on an isolated cover for black bass. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet, clousers are a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing is improving as we enter the summer pattern. Loads of small fish under 10 inches are still being caught daily, but a lot more large fish are stacking up on brush piles, tire reefs, artificial structures and the base of trees. You can still find some fish on bridges, underwater bridges and road beds in 16-26 feet. Minnows, small hand ties and soft plastics are all working. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
