Lake Fork Anglers Results From June 23

No wind at the 6 AM start was a first for us in 2022. But thank fully, we did get a nice breeze out of the north around 8 AM when the temperature was climbing.

The lake is still down about 6' and dangerous if you don't know where to drive. But seeing all the stumps exposed is a help for some. I noticed more fish were caught on square bills, big worms, and shakey head rigs.

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

Boaters

First Place went to Galen Smith of Alba with 4 bass for 13.11 LB with a 6.94 LB lunker.
Second Place went to Randy Bunch of Lake Fork with 6 bass for 12.55 LB with a 3.23 LB lunker.
Third Place went to Herb Powell of Lake Fork with 6 bass for 11.76 LB. with a 4.40 LB lunker.
Fourth Place went to Bill Ailes of Sulphur Springs with 3 bass for 11.64 LB with the 8.23 LB boater lunker.
Fifth Place went to Robert Gaylor of Lake Fork with 3 bass for 11.37 LB with a 4.97 LB lunker.

This week we managed 48 keepers with just three skunks. Less than half the keepers than last time.

So, you'd like to fish at Lake Fork but don't really have the $500 for a guide. You can come and fish with us for a $20 entry fee and a $20 donation for your boater. Unless you are a boater. Annual dues are also $20. Our group of boaters will be able to put you on fish most of the time.

The LFA fishes every Thursday except T-Day and Christmas on 2 different formats. A 5 fish limit we call LFA and a MLF style format where every fish counts, we call Hard Core, 3 special tournaments and an end of year dinner. We are a club of 53+ seniors (Mostly) and are very liberal on members being for off vacations and medical issues.

Right now, we are looking for more Boaters and Co-Anglers.

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.
