Lake Fork Anglers Results From January 14




Hard to believe what a northern cold front can do shutting down the winter bite that wasn't really bad to begin with. It started out at 49 degrees this morning and instead of getting warmer it got colder. The winds started 5-10 out of the sw and turned around to about 20-30 out of the north. A tough ride back with a spun prop.

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

  1. First Place went to John Berech of Garland with 1 bass for 5.80 which is the co-angler lunker .

We caught 14 keepers today with 12 anglers skunking. Boy does that suck. That is the worse results since when we started and only had 4 boats fishing.

The LFA fishes every Thursday except Thanksgiving and Christmas on 2 different formats.

Right now we are looking for more co-anglers. Bring your face mask, tackle and life vest and get to go out on Lake Fork for far less than you'd pay for a guide.

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.
