Video - Lake Fork Bass Tip - How to Fish a Bladed Jig / Chatterbait




Hello fishing friends, on Lake Fork many healthy largemouth bass are being caught on secondary points and in the backs of large spawning flats in 2-5 ft. Due to the recent cold front the water temperature is once again in the mid to high 50s. During these fronts some fish will pull out of the shallows but most will stay put and become a bit more difficult to catch. One of my favorite lures for pre-spawn fronts and water temps in the 50s is a bladed jig / chatterbait. This lure puts off a lot of vibration and is especially productive in stained to muddy water. This bait triggers big fish to bite so make sure to match your gear properly. Check out the above video to see more tips on how to effectively fish this bait next time you hit the lake. Thanks for watching, good luck fishing, and stay safe on the water!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Aug. 27)

GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 85-90 degrees; 0.74 feet below pool. Lake is 10 inches low. Morning bass bite is shallow for a couple of hours around grass and bream beds. Chatterbaits and square bills are good in 2-5 feet. Mid morning target bass offshore a bit in 5-7 feet, 2.5 square bills are good around flats with lots of baitfish around. Shad patterns best. The midday and afternoon bite remains offshore on road beds, points, channel swings with deep crankbaits and Carolina rigs in 15-24 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Early and late topwater bite around grass lines and isolated cover on main lake and secondary points. Try frog and mouse patterns for topwater. Bass are beginning to school, a hard-bodied popper should work well. Bream are shallow, try small hoppers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service.
