Lake Fork Anglers 5th Thursday "Shootout" Team Tournament Results for 7.30.20




Boy was it windy. Actually changed where we were going to launch from to get us closer to where we were fishing. Water temps 85 degrees. But besides all of that the fish were biting for most. Congratulations to Curt Blount for catching his 1st over of the year. It looked to be over ten. Real solid.

 

On the 5th Thursdays each year we fish "special" event tournaments. The was a five fish limit team tournament. All fish over 10" count including slots.

With added money from the club treasury they paid 4 places for teams and 2 places for lunkers.

 

First Place Team of Tom Charlebois and Bob Lambert had a 5 fish limit for 15.90 LB with a 4.49 Lunker caught on jigs.

 

Second place team of Curt Blount and Bruce Allen had a 5 fish limit for 14.69 LB with the number one lunker of 8.55 LB caught on a drop shot.

 

Third place team of Randy Bunch and Herb Powell had a 5 fish limit for 14.17 LB with the number two lunker of 7.15 LB caught on a drop shot.

 

Fourth place team of Charles Abresch and Jimmy Bright had a 5 fish limit for 12.58 LB with a 5.08 LB lunker.

 

13 teams fished and there were no skunks. Due to covid 19 some of our anglers are sitting out until they feel it is safe to resume.

 

The LFA fishes 50 Thursdays throughout the year . The club is made of of boaters fishing against boaters and co-anglers fishing against co-anglers with both anglers in the boat viewing the fish measurements before release. Except for this format.

 

We only fish at Lake Fork and if you look at todays lunkers you can see why. Or check back to the last several weeks to see the other overs we've caught recently.

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. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
