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 (May 14)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.40 feet above pool. Bass are fair on points with and without spawning shad early morning. When there is wind it’s better. Frog bite is fair in shallow grass and pond weed. Bass are staging in 5-10 feet of water on secondary points hitting Carolina rigs, and XD 5-6. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Black bass are post spawn and the top water bite is on! Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation. The crappie are moving shallow, small clousers are producing well. 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. Crappie fishing is settling into the post spawn and summer patterns we should see for the next few months. We are seeing incredible numbers of small black crappie right now loading up on brush piles, lay downs, bridges and docks. The larger black crappie are a little hard to find but you can find some nice groups of them or pick a few out of the smaller fish. The bigger white crappie are beginning to load on the summer pattern trees. We have a tremendous amount of fry covering up a lot of those trees and making it very hard to see those bigger white crappie on forward facing sonar or for them to see your bait. You can find fish in 10-30 feet of water and some may only be 2 feet under the surface or right on the bottom. Minnows and any colored jigs are both producing extremely well. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
