Lake Fork Angler Results From February 10




Sure, wish we had more water, but it really did not affect the fishing today for the "haves". As opposed to the have-nots. Generally, the have nots are mostly the co-anglers and that depends on how successful their boaters are. For mid-February the weather was pretty darn good with some cloud cover starting at about 40 and rising to 70 by quitting time at 3 PM.  By the results it looks like the big girls are starting to show up. Water temps in the high 40's.

 

All fish 10" and up are keepers. Only the best 5 count.

  1. First Place went to Don Overstreet of Sulphur Springs with 5 bass for 21.66 LB with a 5.49 lunker.
  2. Second Place went to Dennis Bubinas of Lake Fork with 7 bass for 20.43 with a 7.41 lunker.
  3. Third Place went to Randy Bunch of Lake Fork 4 bass for 17.44 LB. which is the 7.81 LB boater lunker.
  4. Fourth Place went to Dusty Newton of Van (with his first win) of 3 bass for 15.71 LB with a 7.41 lunker.
  5. Fifth Place went to Tim Gold of Mineola with 3 bass for 9.74 LB with a 4.31 lunker.

 

Co-Anglers

  1. First Place went to Tom Whitrock of Lake Fork with 2 bass for 6.73 LB with a 5.28 LB. is the co-angler lunker.
  2. Second Place went to Alf Tuggle of Scroggins with 2 bass for 5.23 LB. with a 3.78 LB lunker.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 22)

GOOD. Water Stained; 55-62 degrees; 1.64 feet below pool. The cold front dropped the water temperature down 10 degrees in some areas slowing the bass bite. Use a slow bait presentation with Texas rigs, baby brush hogs or beaver type baits on the outside edge of the grass. Darker colored baits like V & M chopsticks in Texas smoke have been fair in 3-6 feet. Look for the bite to improve by the weekend as the water temperature warms and bass return to beds. Frogs and baits worked on top of the grass and in the pockets of grass should be great by the weekend. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Pro. Cooler weather is affecting the movement of the black bass, as the water cools the females are not committing to the beds, but as the water warms activity will increase. Search warmer clearer water in the backs of coves and creeks for active fish. Crappie are beginning to move towards the banks, try small bead heads fished slowly 3-4 feet. Carp and gar are spawning in shallow water. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork is getting really hot. Seeing great numbers and lots of big fish each day. The fish are making huge moves shallow this week and will for the next month. Areas in 2-13 feet are finally beginning to see more fish that are spawning. The 14-32 feet staging areas are also still loaded with fish and reloading daily now. Seeing lots of fish roaming in open water but the best luck is still coming on fish on timber or brush. Small hand tied jigs in chartreuse or orange are getting crushed right now, and you can still catch fish well on soft plastics and minnows. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins’ Guide Service. The crappie are biting in the main creek channels about halfway back in the creek. With the cooler weather most of the crappie are laying on the bottom. Once the sun comes out fish suspend up in the water column around 15 feet. Success with Snacky lures FS200 matched with the eye hole jig or crappie
