This week we found that the water temperatures only rose 2 degrees to 86. The water clarity was lightly stained in the creeks and continued to clear up in the south end of the lake. We continued to catch good Bass in 22 to 26 foot of water on remote brush piles and old road beds. Joe's (The Tackle Factory) chrome/chartreuse spoon continued to work great. The trick of using the spoon is to make sure you let the spoon get all the way to the bottom. If you don't the White Bass will drive you crazy! The Carolina rig and Texas rigged worm bite has slowed down for right now. The Crappie fishing stayed pretty constant this week. Several good Crappies were being taken in 26 to 30 foot of water on small white and chartreuse jigs. Minnows were also working! What can I say about those White Bass? They are still eating anything with chrome on it. Joe's spoon will wear them out. You might want to try the ole standby, the chrome and blue Rattle Trap. We found that the 1/2 ounce one worked the best. The Catfish were still being caught in big numbers. Stink bait worked best around old stumps in 18 to 20 foot of water. Did I mention they are great eating? I would like to tell you about the best stocked, best run, cleanest and the most knowledgeable Marina in the whole Lake Fork area. Lake Fork Marina has a great selection of the Tackle Factories spoons, lively minnows and crickets, plus a great selection of Strike King Baits.
