Lake Fork Anglers (LFA) Bass Fishing Club Annual LFA Banquet 2025




The LFA held its annual awards banquet on January 8th at Lake Fork Fisherman’s Cove in Alba.  A delicious buffet BBQ dinner was served by Reba’s restaurant, and enjoyed by 58 members, wives, and guests.  There were drawings for door prizes of custom-made fishing rods, and a hilarious game of “The Price is Right” was played for more cash and prizes.

An awards ceremony followed to present plaques and club shirts to the best of 2024. Club tournaments are two-person catch and release tournaments held every Thursday with an angler and a co-angler per boat. Tournaments alternate weekly between two tournament formats: LFA – best 5 Bass over 10”, and Hard Core – all Bass over 10”.

In the LFA tournament category, Dennis Bubinas and Gary Gilmore took top honors by winning the Angler and Co-Angler-of-the-Year. Randy Bunch had the Angler big bass at 9.96 lbs., and C.J. Riffle had the Co-Angler big bass at 8.52 lbs.  Angler Dennis Bubinas and Co-Angler Ken Kielbas were also recognized for their end-of-year championship tournament wins.

In the Hard-Core tournament category, Dennis Bubinas and Ken Chapman took top honors by winning the Angler and Co-Angler-of-the-Year.  Dennis Bubinas also had the Angler big bass at 9.12 lbs., and C.J. Riffle had the Co-Angler big bass at 7.68 lbs.  Angler Steve Roll and Co-Angler Ken Kielbas were also recognized for their end-of-year championship tournament wins.

It was a wonderful evening of recognition and fellowship that included a special recognition of the wives for the support they give to their husbands and to the club.

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.
