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 (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.
