David Vance's Lake Fork Report Nov 7th




November is already upon us which brings in some great fall fishing with it. Lake Fork is about 5 feet low but in great shape right now and the fishing will only get better as the month rolls along. With all the hunting seasons getting started, you will find a lot less fishing pressure and almost have the lake to your self. Water conditions on Lake Fork are good now that the turnover is done. The water clarity is fairly clear mid lake to the south end. I have been catching fish on a number of different patterns and baits the past week. The shallow fishing has been good, in depths ranging from 2-12 foot. Top water baits are good early and late on yellow magics in shad patterns, buzz baits and frogs fished over the shallow vegetation. I like these cloudy cool days in the fall because this pattern is great all day! Wacky worms, and flukes have also been real productive in the grass as well. The deep fishing is starting to turn on and that is were I will doing most of my fishing now through the end of December. Look for the deep fish to start getting in some big schools on the bottom in 15-25 foot of water to feed up for winter. Deep humps, road beds, points, ridges and old pond dams will all hold schools of Big Bass feeding on shad and bar fish this time of year. If you are on one of these spots at the right time, you can load the boat with some Quality Bass! A Carolina-rigged Centipede, Brush Hog, or Fluke rigged on 17lb line 1oz weight 3-4 foot leader and a 2/0 or 3/0 hook is what I am using on the deeper Bass. I am also starting to catch some some on a Jigging Spoon, when these bass here on Lake Fork get grouped up on the old roadbeds, points, and humps, a Jigging Spoon is hard to beat in November and December. Good places to try now are the mouth of Wolfe Creek, Little Carney, Chaney Branch, the 515 east and west roadbeds also the 154 and 2946 roadbed are always good this time of year. If your looking for some great fall bass fishing Lake Fork is the place to be, this is the start of our big bass season and hear on Lake Fork your next cast could be a bass of a lifetime!

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 7)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.73 feet below pool. Good early morning bass bite around shad spawn areas and with topwater frogs over grass. Midday to mid afternoon work flukes and yum dingers around grass good1-3 feet. New wave of spawners pulling up this week. Carolina rigs fair in 5-10 feet of water on secondary points. 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.
