Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 28)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.32 feet above pool. The shad are still spawning on main lake points. Target bass feeding on the shad early in the morning with square bill crankbaits, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, and topwaters. Shaky heads in 3-6 feet are good on points and the edge of grass around bream beds. Carolina rigs are good 12-15 feet on points and road beds. Deep diving crankbait bite is starting to pick up over deep water jumps in 22 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, and hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Drop a clouser on 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. Crappie fishing on Lake Fork is a lot of fun right now. The lake has a tremendous population of black crappie and they are stacked up on all kinds of structures all over the lake in 12-28 feet. White crappie are also loading up on certain trees. You can find black crappie on some bridges, underwater bridges, roadbeds, brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs, points and the base of timber. I have seen some lay downs the past week that may have over 1000 crappie on them. The only problem is finding black crappie over 10 inches when you have so many fish on spots. It is a lot of fun to catch hundreds of crappie per day even if you cannot keep all of them. One of the hottest spots for numbers right now is the big reef in front of the 154 public ramp. Any electronics will find it straight out from the ramp just before the boat lane. It’s very large and easily visible on traditional electronics. The bottom is covered with structures of different kinds and crappie. You can fish minnows just off the bottom or swim small jigs just
