Lake Fork Anglers Results From March 31




The day started out pretty cold but with light winds and transitioned into a total blowout with winds pretty steady at 30, Today was different because it is a 5th Thursday special. And this format was ONE fish. Your biggest.

So, one would think with the water temps at about 60-63 the "ladies" would be headed to the bank. That really didn't happen for most of us. Even catching a suitor (male bass) was difficult for most today.

One bass over 10" is all you need. Slots included. Paying 4 places on each category.

 

Boaters

  1. First place Dennis Bubinas of Lake Fork with a 6.89 LB Lunker caught on a chatter bait.
  2. Second place Terry Thompson of Sulphur Springs with a 5.08 LB
  3. Third place Curt Blount of Lake Fork with a 4.31 LB TIE
  4. Fourth place Don Overstreet of Sulphur Springs with a 4.31 LB TIE.

Co-Anglers

  1. First Place Gary Gilmore of Ennis with a 3.95 LB
  2. Second Place Terry Shetterly of Michigan with a 3.78 LB
  3. Third Place Rick Wright of Rowlett with a 2.31 LB
  4. Fourth Place Bruce Allen of Lake Fork with a 1.87 LB caught on a dinger.
  5. Fifth Place Alf Tuggle of Scroggins with a 1.49 LB.

 

So, we didn't write down any fish except to step up in weight. With the wind we still had 8 members zero.

The LFA fishes 50 Thursdays a year, except for bad weather issues. We are currently looking for new co-anglers. You get to fish with experienced boaters in a friendly atmosphere while sharing techniques, baits and spots for the benefit of all. E-mail Bruce at [email protected] for info on joining.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.23 feet above pool. Fork : Top waters early around pond weed and grass with frogs and poppers still working . Mid morning chatter baits on the outside edge of grass in 3-5 ft is good as well as shaky heads . Best bite is Carolina rigs off shore on points , road beds and humps in 12-25 ft . Big worms and flukes are good . Deep Cranks are good over the same area when the fish are suspending 19-23 ft . Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Small fish patterns like a dock knocker are producing bass and crappie shallow near grass. 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. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been super up and down this past week. The fish are stacked up on brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs and some trees. The bite is the tricky part. Some days the bite is good and the bigger fish show up. Some days the bite is just off and the short fish show up. Seems like the bite may be better on days we have a little breeze. If the winds are calm the bite is very slow. Minnows will get some bites but small 1/32nd ounce hand tied jigs with small bodies and tails are working well on fish that don’t want to bite. Best depths have been 18-13ft with most fish suspended on trees and loaded in the brush. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
