Lake Fork Angler Results From February 10




Sure, wish we had more water, but it really did not affect the fishing today for the "haves". As opposed to the have-nots. Generally, the have nots are mostly the co-anglers and that depends on how successful their boaters are. For mid-February the weather was pretty darn good with some cloud cover starting at about 40 and rising to 70 by quitting time at 3 PM.  By the results it looks like the big girls are starting to show up. Water temps in the high 40's.

 

All fish 10" and up are keepers. Only the best 5 count.

 

Boaters

  1. First Place went to Don Overstreet of Sulphur Springs with 5 bass for 21.66 LB with a 5.49 lunker.
  2. Second Place went to Dennis Bubinas of Lake Fork with 7 bass for 20.43 with a 7.41 lunker.
  3. Third Place went to Randy Bunch of Lake Fork 4 bass for 17.44 LB. which is the 7.81 LB boater lunker.
  4. Fourth Place went to Dusty Newton of Van (with his first win) of 3 bass for 15.71 LB with a 7.41 lunker.
  5. Fifth Place went to Tim Gold of Mineola with 3 bass for 9.74 LB with a 4.31 lunker.

 

Co-Anglers

  1. First Place went to Tom Whitrock of Lake Fork with 2 bass for 6.73 LB with a 5.28 LB. is the co-angler lunker.
  2. Second Place went to Alf Tuggle of Scroggins with 2 bass for 5.23 LB. with a 3.78 LB lunker.
  3. third Place went to Scott Powell of Lake Fork with 3 bass for 4.67 LB with a 2.13 LB lunker.
  4. Fourth Place went to Rick Wright of Rowlett with 1 bass for 3.87 LB.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 21)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.32 feet above pool. Bass are good in the early morning on points where the shad are spawning. Cast diesel chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and KVD sexy dawgs on the surface. Target grass and pond weed with frogs in 1-4 feet of water. Mid running crankbaits 2.5-3.5 inches are good on points in 5-7 feet of water. Carolina rigs are good offshore on points and high spots from 12-16 feet. 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 on Lake Fork is a lot of fun right now. The lake has a tremendous population of black crappie and they are stacked up on all kinds of structures all over the lake in 12-28 feet. White crappie are also loading up on certain trees. You can find black crappie on some bridges, underwater bridges, roadbeds, brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs, points and the base of timber. I’ve seen some lay downs the past week that may have over 1000 crappie on them. The only problem is finding black crappie over 10 inches when you have so many fish on spots. It is a lot of fun to catch hundreds of crappie per day even if you cannot keep all of them. One of the hottest spots for numbers right now is the big reef in front of the 154 public ramp. Any electronics will find it straight out from the ramp just before the boat lane. It’s very large and easily visible on traditional electronics. The bottom is covered with structures of different kinds and crappie. You can fish minnows just off the bottom or swim small jigs just off the bottom to catch a lot of crappie. You may only see one out of ten fish that are 10 inches. Swimming jigs is a very productive method
