Lake Fork Anglers Results From April 28




On Saturday we will have a new moon and there will still be bass on beds due to the early season cold water. Water temps today were between 68 and 70.

It was pretty windy in the afternoon.

The lake is still down about 6', but if you are careful and follow your trails if local or stay near the marked boat lanes you should be OK.

 

All fish 10" and up are keepers. Only the best 5 count.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 6)

GOOD. Water Stained; 81 degrees; 2.14 feet below pool. Bass are good in shallow water early morning on topwaters around grass. Offshore bass are on mid range flats or first break line in 4-6 feet with square bill crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Carolina rig bite is still good on long points or ridges 6-10 feet. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork is just phenomenal right now going into the early winter months. We have fish in depths from 14-58 feet. You can find crappie almost everywhere on the lake but if you find the right area they are loaded up. We are seeing some black crappie grouped up in numbers. The huge white crappie has been showing off the past month also. We are catching fish on timber mostly and pole timber and Bois D Arc trees are both good. Some fish will be holding to bridges as they migrate as well. Minnows continue to be the best bait, but jigs will work too. The catfish bite on Lake Fork is nothing short of incredible. There are so many catfish in the 20-25 feet range around timber you can almost fish anywhere. If you drop some cattle cubes or sour grain in an area you will be catching fish within 30 minutes on any prepared catfish bait you drop down. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
