Lake Fork Anglers Report for November 4




The LFA holds special tournaments on 5th Thursdays throughout the year in addition to our every Thursday points and MLF formats. On Oct 31 we held a championship.

Did they pick the coldest day of the year on purpose? Did the trick or treaters plan the coldest day? Who knows but it sure was cold and with the high winds even colder. So you'd think that the bass all went deep. Not so according to the winners who all had to tell what baits they used to make their catch count. The bass are still on the banks for the most part and feeding. Unfortunately, there was only one big fish caught (in 3').

This was a no entry fee tournament with money being paid from our treasury to the winners. We paid out 4 places for both the boaters and co-angler plus lunkers for both groups.
Only the best 5 fish counted. Slots and all fish were papered and released on the spot.

Boaters Results

1st place went to Don Overstreet of Sulphur Springs with 5 bass for 11.17 LB with the boater lunker of 8.23 LB caught on a bladed jig in green pumpkin. He didn't say what trailer he had on it.
2nd place went to Tim Gold of Mineola with 6 bass for 8.72 LB with a 2.31 lunker caught on a 4" swimbait.

The Lake Fork Anglers fishes every Thursday year round except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you would like to come and join us to fish at Lake Fork (Texas state bass record and slot lake).

We are currently looking for co-anglers but before you know it boaters will be wanted also. We are very liberal with our seniors members who need to take time off for vacations and medical issues.

Currently we are at 50+ and usually have 30+ fish. E-mail me at [email protected], call at 903-440 2797 for more info.

For most of the last 2 months I have been recuperating from a medical issue. Hopefully now the reports will continue.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.23 feet above pool. Fork : Top waters early around pond weed and grass with frogs and poppers still working . Mid morning chatter baits on the outside edge of grass in 3-5 ft is good as well as shaky heads . Best bite is Carolina rigs off shore on points , road beds and humps in 12-25 ft . Big worms and flukes are good . Deep Cranks are good over the same area when the fish are suspending 19-23 ft . Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Small fish patterns like a dock knocker are producing bass and crappie shallow near grass. 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. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been super up and down this past week. The fish are stacked up on brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs and some trees. The bite is the tricky part. Some days the bite is good and the bigger fish show up. Some days the bite is just off and the short fish show up. Seems like the bite may be better on days we have a little breeze. If the winds are calm the bite is very slow. Minnows will get some bites but small 1/32nd ounce hand tied jigs with small bodies and tails are working well on fish that don’t want to bite. Best depths have been 18-13ft with most fish suspended on trees and loaded in the brush. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
