Andrew Grills, Big Bass Photos and Report




The bass fishing on Lake Fork has been a challenge the past couple of weeks. We have had some incredible days and some pretty tough ones. On most days we have been fortunate enough to catch a few big ones though, with most customers catching their personal best bass.

Right now, I am looking for fish in a variety of depths depending on the area of the lake, but a good starting point is 15-25'. Because the thermocline hasn’t set up yet, we can still find fish in much deeper water.

The majority of big fish we have boated lately have been on crankbaits or Mark Pack’s football jig. On the football jig I am using “Fierce Melon” and “Mean Green” colors with a matching trailer. Pack's jigs are available on Tackle Warehouse now, so it will be a bit more convenient to order them.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 25)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.28 feet above pool. There is a good morning bass bite around pond weed and grass with topwater baits and flukes. Bass are good in front of the weeds with chatterbaits and spinnerbaits in 3-5 feet. Midday bite is best on points and humps with Texas rigs and Carolina rigs in 12-22 feet with big worms and flukes. Deep diving crankbaits are good over road beds, points and humps in 19-26 feet with shad patterned, or chartreuse/blue/black 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.
