Lake Fork Anglers MLF Format Semifinal Results from November 12




It started out cold around 48 and by the time we got off the water it was in the low 70's. And there was quite a pile of clothes sitting on my seat by the time we headed in to the ramp.

The MLF format counts every fish over 10" including slot fish. We fish three rotating sections on Lake Fork every other Thursday daytime about 22 times a year..

Members must fish at least 8 tournaments to maintain membership.

Like the Major League Tournament format they go thru several ways of eliminate anglers to get to their championship day. We do it a little differently because we don't start with 30 anglers. All of our members can qualify for the semi-final by catching 6 LB in one tournament during the year or by fishing 80%. So today we started with 13 boats each with a boater and co-angler. Right now we have 20 members on leave due to covid 19 precautions. On the morning of we picked 1 of 3 sections. The final will be held in one of the other two.

We fished section 2 for today.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.10 feet above pool. Bass are good early morning around grass with frogs, buzz baits and poppers. The offshore bite is best right now with fish coming from 12-25 feet on humps, ridges, road beds and points with Carolina rigs, flukes, big worms, Texas rigs and big 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. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
