Lake Fork Anglers (LFA) Bass Fishing Club Tournament Results: 8/17/2023




Hard Core Tournament – This a Major League Fishing (MLF) format (All Bass 10 inches and over count)

 

22 Members fished with a total of 33 Bass caught.  The day started out cool and pleasant, but the

front that brough the cooler temperatures for the last two days made for a tough day of fishing as

quite a few caught no fish. 

  • Anglers caught 16 bass with Dennis Bubinas streaking ahead by catching half of those for a first

place finish, while five Anglers caught no fish.

  • Co-Anglers edged out the Anglers with 17 fish caught, with four Co-Anglers catching no fish.

Only one bass was caught over 4 lbs. today.

  • LFA – Best 5 fish format – 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month
  • Hard Core – MLF format –  1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month

 

All club tournaments are two-person catch and release tournaments with an angler and a co-angler per boat.  Anglers compete against anglers and Co-Anglers compete against co-anglers.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 19)

GOOD. Water Stained; 57 degrees; 0.27 feet below pool. Fork : Water Temps 54-65 Fish are moving up to spawning areas. Those not spawning can be caught on Chatter Baits and spinner baits in 1-3 ft. Senko and Flukes along the edge of grass are good in 1-2 ft. Texas rigs and Viper XP Jigs are good in 2-5 ft on weeds and big stumps. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Catching small bass shallow with bait fish streamers. Larger females will become more active as warm days continue around structure and brush. The crappie should be moving shallow and Wooly buggers can be a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork water temperatures are headed upward, hopefully for good this week. There are tons of prespawn crappie and some active spawning fish. You can find fish shallow in the afternoons and that should get better all day long this week. Lots of fish are still to be found in the 6-20 feet range. This week there were numbers of roaming crappie not relating to structure. Hand tied jigs, soft plastics and minnows all will work now if you get the bait close to the fish. Recent rains still have the north ends of the lake muddy or stained, so you need to focus on getting bait right on fish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
