2 overs =exciting day Lake Fork Anglers F-1 Team Results for 6-7-8




LFA fishes a team competition once a month. All of our tournaments, on the other Thursdays daytime during the month are draw. Members are always fishing with someone new thereby getting the opportunity to learn many techniques, baits, and places. We are are not capped and are always looking for new members to join our other 50+ mostly seniors.

Each team counts their best 10 fish caught between them. Of course all of the fish caught are measured on a Chek it Stik, recorded and then released. No fish are retained unless someone were to catch a SAL which has never happened.

While members catch a fair share of Lake Fork overs, that is fish over 24", most of the bass are of normal size. For us everything 10" and over counts. Some days a little bass is what saves your day.

BUT TODAY MEMBERS CAUGHT AND RELEASED 2 OVERS. Both fish were caught in less than 4'. Today the water temps was mid 80's with a stiff SSE wind.
The weird thing about the 2 overs is that it seems to happen often with us. Rarely is only one over caught. When we started 5 years ago an over hardly ever happened. Although I do remember when our TD caught 2 in one day.

John Berech and John Markos were first with 22.30 LB on 10 bass anchored by Markos 26" 9.75 lb. LUNKER..
Jack White and Mark Talley were second with 22.22 LB on 9 bass anchored by Jack's lunker of 5.71 lb.
Charlie Abresch and John Dearmore were third with 16.59 LB on 4 bass anchored by John's 24 1/2" 9.16 lb lunker
Don Overstreet and Shane Arnold were fourth with 14.53 on 9 bass anchored by Don's 2.13 LB. lunker
Galen Smith and Charlie Arnold came in fifth with 12.51 on 8 bass anchored by Galen's 3.46 lb. lunker.


LFA Members must fish 8 regular tournaments during the year in order to qualify for the Team Championship, and the Major League Fishing Championship.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.23 feet above pool. Fork : Top waters early around pond weed and grass with frogs and poppers still working . Mid morning chatter baits on the outside edge of grass in 3-5 ft is good as well as shaky heads . Best bite is Carolina rigs off shore on points , road beds and humps in 12-25 ft . Big worms and flukes are good . Deep Cranks are good over the same area when the fish are suspending 19-23 ft . 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 mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Small fish patterns like a dock knocker are producing bass and crappie shallow near grass. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been super up and down this past week. The fish are stacked up on brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs and some trees. The bite is the tricky part. Some days the bite is good and the bigger fish show up. Some days the bite is just off and the short fish show up. Seems like the bite may be better on days we have a little breeze. If the winds are calm the bite is very slow. Minnows will get some bites but small 1/32nd ounce hand tied jigs with small bodies and tails are working well on fish that don’t want to bite. Best depths have been 18-13ft with most fish suspended on trees and loaded in the brush. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
