Lake Fork Anglers Results From June 24th

Three weeks in a row of blowout fishing for our formats and the LFA 5 fish limit is almost thrice as good. The bass are finally catching up to where they were supposed to be at the end of May. No skunks today even considering that last night was the "strawberry" moon and the bass fed all night long. But they woke up around 10 AM to make a lot of anglers very happy.

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

We caught 121 keepers today with no anglers skunking. There was a bunch of big slots caught and even more hooked and escaped the landing net if you believe the angle's tales yet again.

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 54+ seniors (Mostly) and are very liberal on members being for off vacations and medical issues. Even though we are practicing social distancing and wearing masks, we have about 16 sitting out from Covid exposure.

Right now we are looking for more boaters, who fish for free.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 24)

GOOD. Water Stained; 81 degrees; 0.11 feet below pool. Bass are slow while the moon is fuller, and fish are more active at night. Early morning has been good for about an hour or so on frogs and flukes around grass in 2-4 feet. Switching to an offshore bite the rest of the day with Carolina rigs and Texas Rigs on points and humps in 15-20 feet with big worms or KO sticks. Deep crankbaits are good over drop offs in 22-27 feet. XD 6 and XD 8 chartreuse and blue back and landing bites. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Cooling temperatures, light rain, and cloudy days have kicked the shallow bite into high gear in the middle of July! Bass are hitting topwaters and shallow streamers fished over flooded milfoil and hydrilla. Look for schooling bass in the open water and creeks as shad hatch is in full swing. Also, check out the brush piles as big bass are using them to feed on crappie. Bream are excellent in the shallows, wooly buggers and small poppers should bring a strike. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork continues to be excellent as we get deeper into the summer pattern. Fish are still stacked up on brush, trees and some lay downs. Best depths are 14-28 feet with a few fish a little shallower and a little deeper. The bite has been somewhat finicky lately. Minnows are a good choice to help overcome the slower bite. You can still catch fish on smaller hand tied baits or soft plastics. I've also noticed that rotating spots or finding new spots with less pressured fish has been important. The catfishing on Lake Fork is excellent like it seems to always be for eater sized channel cats. There are still tons of fish under roosting trees in 14-22 feet of water on the north ends of the lake. Bait a hole with cattle cubes or sour grains to get those fish concentrated. Then use any catfish bait of choice to load the boat. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
