Lake Fork Anglers 5 Fish Limit Results for 7.7.20

Wind, wind, wind. Which is normal and we should be used to it. The waves breaking over the back my boaters boat caused us a ten minute delay when it was time to leave to pump out all of that water. Drop shots, c-rigs, jigs and shaky heads and crankbaits won the day. Congrats to Gary Gilmore for his 9.12 LB over. Also congrats to long suffering boater Terry Thompson for catching the boater lunker and coming in much higher than usual. Terry had his grandson Grayson as a guest today. Also Greg Geisler had his son as a guest today as did Gary Pardini had his son Jason Pardini. Way to go young fellas!
And welcome new member Matt Webb.

We caught 115 keepers today with 4 skunks. Many of the fish were caught in deeper water than is usual for us.

The LFA fishes every Thursday except T-Day and Christmas on 2 different formats. A 5 fish limit we call LFA and a MLF style format where every fish counts we call Hard Core, 3 special tournaments and an end of year dinner. We are a club of 55+ seniors (Mostly) and are very liberal on members being for off vacations and medical issues.

Right now we are looking for more co-anglers. Bring your tackle and life vest and get to go out on Lake Fork for far less than you'd pay for a guide.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 24)

GOOD. normal stain; 85 degrees; 1.29 feet below pool. There is good topwater action early in the morning around pond weed with topwaters and frogs. Then use flukes and soft plastics stick baits along the edge of the pond weed most of the day. There are still a few groups of fish offshore, but bass are primarily scattered from 12-22 feet in roadbeds, humps and long points. Deep crankbaits are good over points and humps in 18-25 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Early and late topwater bites around grass lines and isolated cover on main lake and secondary points. Try frog and mouse patterns for topwater. Bass are schooling in creeks, so a hard-bodied popper should work. Bream are shallow, try small hoppers. Sand bass are schooling mid-lake. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing is heating back up as we begin to head into early fall. The black crappie are stacking up in huge numbers this week on brush piles and other structures. The bite for them is still a little finicky but small hand tied jigs swam over them or small jig heads tipped with minnows are working to get them in the boat. Still having to go thru numbers of fish to find the larger ones. The white crappie are also showing up on timber along creek channels in 18-28 feet. That bite has gotten stronger and the minnow tipped jig heads are working well on those fish. Have caught some fish on soft plastics the last few weeks. We should see the bite getting even better when water temps drop down as we begin to cool down more. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
