Lake Fork Anglers Results From August 12




Fishing is definitely getting tougher for the bank beating anglers. But at least it wasn't as hot as it could have been. Overall the fish caught this week were smaller than anytime so far this year.  A record number of anglers fished today since we have resumed after the worse of covid. We have a good setup for social distancing while still being able to fish and enjoy the day.

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

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 24)

GOOD. normal stain; 85 degrees; 1.29 feet below pool. There is good topwater action early in the morning around pond weed with topwaters and frogs. Then use flukes and soft plastics stick baits along the edge of the pond weed most of the day. There are still a few groups of fish offshore, but bass are primarily scattered from 12-22 feet in roadbeds, humps and long points. Deep crankbaits are good over points and humps in 18-25 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Early and late topwater bites around grass lines and isolated cover on main lake and secondary points. Try frog and mouse patterns for topwater. Bass are schooling in creeks, so a hard-bodied popper should work. Bream are shallow, try small hoppers. Sand bass are schooling mid-lake. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing is heating back up as we begin to head into early fall. The black crappie are stacking up in huge numbers this week on brush piles and other structures. The bite for them is still a little finicky but small hand tied jigs swam over them or small jig heads tipped with minnows are working to get them in the boat. Still having to go thru numbers of fish to find the larger ones. The white crappie are also showing up on timber along creek channels in 18-28 feet. That bite has gotten stronger and the minnow tipped jig heads are working well on those fish. Have caught some fish on soft plastics the last few weeks. We should see the bite getting even better when water temps drop down as we begin to cool down more. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
