Lake Fork Anglers 5 fish limit tournament from 1.13.20




It was so cold that nearly 60 fingers and 60 toes were frozen. Extremeties in very cold weather are the hardest to keep warm. Ok so it wasn't so cold but with a 30 mph "breeze" out of the north and northwest brings it down a bunch. Breezy is what the weatherman said Wednesday night. HAHa.

 

So after being off for the last week for bad weather again todays fish were caught from 10 to 1' deep on a variety of baits including baby brush hogs, spinner baits, crankbaits and chatter baits.

Very tough day for most.

 

This is a 5 fish limit, all fish count 10" up including slots since all fish are measured, recorded and released on the spot.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 17)

GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 85 degrees; 1.09 feet below pool. Starting to see some turnover in the backs of pockets after the last cool spell. Bass are good on the main lake early in the day with topwaters, chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits until the midday sun. Texas rigs and shaky heads are good around docks and timber in 5-7 feet of water. Carolina rigs are fair on big points with fluke type baits and 7 inch worms in 12-17 feet of water. Deep crankbaits are fair over the ends of deep points and road beds. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service.
