Lake Fork Anglers Results From August 4




I'd sure like to tell you a story about today's fishing. But unfortunately, the fellow I was going with couldn't raise the motor enough to get the toter off. After much stuff Perry at Service marine in Emory figures it out to be the relay that control the switch. But they don't work on E-Tecs and John took his boat to Rockwall.

The story on the water was all about the haves and have not. Them that caught'em did really good with big fish and big fish stories of the ones that go away. The rest not so much.

We fish three rotating sections on Lake Fork every other Thursday daytime about 22 times a year...

We fished section 2 today. All bass 10" and up count. MLF format, where every fish you catch counts

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 21)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.32 feet above pool. Bass are good in the early morning on points where the shad are spawning. Cast diesel chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and KVD sexy dawgs on the surface. Target grass and pond weed with frogs in 1-4 feet of water. Mid running crankbaits 2.5-3.5 inches are good on points in 5-7 feet of water. Carolina rigs are good offshore on points and high spots from 12-16 feet. 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 on Lake Fork is a lot of fun right now. The lake has a tremendous population of black crappie and they are stacked up on all kinds of structures all over the lake in 12-28 feet. White crappie are also loading up on certain trees. You can find black crappie on some bridges, underwater bridges, roadbeds, brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs, points and the base of timber. I’ve seen some lay downs the past week that may have over 1000 crappie on them. The only problem is finding black crappie over 10 inches when you have so many fish on spots. It is a lot of fun to catch hundreds of crappie per day even if you cannot keep all of them. One of the hottest spots for numbers right now is the big reef in front of the 154 public ramp. Any electronics will find it straight out from the ramp just before the boat lane. It’s very large and easily visible on traditional electronics. The bottom is covered with structures of different kinds and crappie. You can fish minnows just off the bottom or swim small jigs just off the bottom to catch a lot of crappie. You may only see one out of ten fish that are 10 inches. Swimming jigs is a very productive method
