Lake Fork Anglers MLF Format Semifinal Results from November 12




It started out cold around 48 and by the time we got off the water it was in the low 70's. And there was quite a pile of clothes sitting on my seat by the time we headed in to the ramp.

The MLF format counts every fish over 10" including slot fish. We fish three rotating sections on Lake Fork every other Thursday daytime about 22 times a year..

Members must fish at least 8 tournaments to maintain membership.

Like the Major League Tournament format they go thru several ways of eliminate anglers to get to their championship day. We do it a little differently because we don't start with 30 anglers. All of our members can qualify for the semi-final by catching 6 LB in one tournament during the year or by fishing 80%. So today we started with 13 boats each with a boater and co-angler. Right now we have 20 members on leave due to covid 19 precautions. On the morning of we picked 1 of 3 sections. The final will be held in one of the other two.

We fished section 2 for today.

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.
