Lake Fork Anglers (LFA) Bass Fishing Club Tournament Results: 7/11/2024




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

 

31 Members fished today with a total of 75 bass caught and released, including three lunkers over 5 lbs.

Cloudless skies and little to no wind contributed to difficult fishing conditions.  During the so-called "dog

days" of summer, anglers feel the heat, and so do the fish.   When the water gets hot, bass are no

different from the rest of us; they seek out any opportunity to escape the boiling water. They are still

catchable of being caught, but more difficult to find.  While some struggled to put numbers in the boat,

those that found them today did well.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 7)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.73 feet below pool. Good early morning bass bite around shad spawn areas and with topwater frogs over grass. Midday to mid afternoon work flukes and yum dingers around grass good1-3 feet. New wave of spawners pulling up this week. Carolina rigs fair in 5-10 feet of water on secondary points. 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. Crappie fishing is settling into the post spawn and summer patterns we should see for the next few months. We are seeing incredible numbers of small black crappie right now loading up on brush piles, lay downs, bridges and docks. The larger black crappie are a little hard to find but you can find some nice groups of them or pick a few out of the smaller fish. The bigger white crappie are beginning to load on the summer pattern trees. We have a tremendous amount of fry covering up a lot of those trees and making it very hard to see those bigger white crappie on forward facing sonar or for them to see your bait. You can find fish in 10-30 feet of water and some may only be 2 feet under the surface or right on the bottom. Minnows and any colored jigs are both producing extremely well. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
