LFA Tournament – Largest 5 Bass 10 inches and over

 

29 Members fished today.  A total of 90 Bass were caught with four over 5 lbs.  The catch today was a mix of

  2. Dennis Bubinas with 5 Bass @ 10.49  lbs.

       3   Steve Roll with 5 Bass @ 10.04  lbs.

Big Bass:  Bill Ailes @ 5.71 lbs.  (Note:  A real “You should see the one that got away” story:  When dipping the bass

in the lake to ensure its health before taking a photoi, the bass shook free and swam off - - camera shy maybe???

 

Winning Co-Anglers

  1. Ken Kielbas with his best 5 Bass @ 13.26  lbs.
  2. Gary Gilmore with best 5 Bass @ 12.55 lbs.

       3   Bob Lambert with 3 @ 10.36 lbs.

Big Bass:  Gary Gilmore @ 6.40 lbs. 

 

Note:  Bob’s fish was extended to close to the camera, which exaggerated the appearance.

The LFA club fishes every Thursday with afternoon weigh-in at the SRA Park on Hwy 154 @ 12:45 pm (Summer Hours). Two club tournament formats are rotated weekly. 

  • 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.

 

LFA members are mostly retired anglers who can fish weekly tournaments each Thursday. Membership is open to all persons who are physically able to fish and function independently in a boat, whether alone, or as a team member during scheduled Thursday fishing tournaments.

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.
