The last seven days were cold, windy, with a few thunder storms thrown in for good measures. We saw water temperatures drop from 61 degrees to 54 degrees. The water in the north part of the lake is stained, but in the south end was good and clear. Fishing was fair to good all over the lake. We continued to catch fish on the split shot rig using the Lake Fork Trophy Lures Hyper Stick. The color of choice was green pumpkin/red. When the water started cooling off and the fish started backing out, we used a watermelon/red Zoom Brush Hog rigged with a 4/0 Eagle Claw LO45 hook and a South Bend 3/16 bullet weight, Texas style. We found our better fish in 6 to 8 feet of water, right next to stumps. This next week with the water temperatures returning to 60+ degrees you need to move back to the one to three foot of water. The fish will return back to beds and continue to spawn. The Crappie fishermen are continuing to have a great time. The Crappie are still in 3 to 5 feet of water around stumps and trash piles. You need to put that bait (minnows) right next to the stumps for success. If you are two feet away you will not be successful. The White Bass are still moving up the creeks getting ready to spawn. There bait of choice has changed from jigging spoons to minnows. The more lively the minnow the better the bite! You will find them in small bays in the creeks, and they like 3 to 4 foot of water. The Catfish slowed down this week with the falling water temperatures. The better Catfish continued to come out of 16 to 18 feet of water on Punch bait. It looks like minnows are in most of the fish's diet right now. Lake Fork Marina has a good supply of lively minnows and make sure you pick up a snack for yourself. I got a chance to look over the new Ranger 520c in great detail this week. The layout and the quality are beyond reproach. The layout featured newly designed consoles, new storage compartment layout, adjustable driver's seat and much more. You need to look at this boat, "WOW"! With all of that being said, you need to get down to Nichols Marine in Longview, TX and see the new Ranger 520c. They have a great inventory of Rangers to select from. Oh yes, they have a five star service department. As I said the Bass spawn is still on. We are taking bookings for the month of April.
