Lake Fork Anglers (LFA) Bass Fishing Club Tournament Results: 3/13/2025




LFA Tournament – A member’s best 5 bass 10 inches and over count towards total weight scored.

 

There were 36 members that fished today with a total of 122 Bass caught and released, including

three lunkers over 5 lbs.  The warmer weather brought more club members to the water, and

more bass willing to take a hook for a measure and release.  As noted in other (previous) postings,

the LFA tournaments are paper tournaments.  Each fish caught is measured, recorded and released.

score cards with measurements are brought to weigh-in where the measurements are

correlated to weight using the Texas Parks and Wildlife Length-weight Conversion Table
for Texas Largemouth Bass, available at:

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 23)

GOOD. Water Stained; 63 degrees; 0.25 feet below pool. Bass fishing has been slow with some early morning catching near areas with the shad spawn using DieZel chatterbaits. Once bass move off the shore, switch to squarebill crankbaits in 3-5 feet, or Yum dingers and flukes around grass, and frogs in the grass. 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. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork is moving rapidly into the post spawn pattern. Fish are loading up on brush piles, ledges, underwater bridges, road beds, bridges and post spawn trees in 14-25 feet. The fish are hungry after the spawn and they will bite just about anything you out in front of them. We are having great luck with small hand tied jigs but minnows and soft plastics will also work for the next few months until water temps heat way up. Seeing a lot of small fish this year mixed in so some days you will catch and release a lot of short fish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
