What a week to fish at beautiful Lake Fork, TX. The fishing was really great. The water temperatures ranged from 75 to 80 degrees and the water clarity continued to improve. The water clarity was still stained in the north creeks but was really starting to clear up in the southern part of the lake. The early morning bite consisted of good top water action from daylight to 8:30 using rattling Zara Spooks. Around 8:30 in the morning it was time to get out the ole crankbaits and move into 4 to 10 foot of water, off of long main lake points. The bait of choice was still the KVD 1.5 in the standard shad color. Around 12:30 we moved to main lake sub points and got out the Carolina rigs. We continued to use Zoom Baby Brush Hogs on the Carolina rigs and yes the favorite color was still watermelon/candy and watermelon/red. The Crappie fishermen were still doing well this week. The better crappie were being taken out of 20 to 22 foot of water on small Crappie jigs tipped with small minnows. One thing to note they were also being taken on small jigging spoons. When using the jigging spoon, make sure you get that spoon all the way to the bottom before you start your vertical jigging motion. Your jigging motion should not be more than one to two feet at a time and very slow. The White Bass are still on a feeding frenzy. They will eat anything chrome or chartreuse. They really like Joe's flutter spoon. The best water death is 24 feet. You can fill your limit in less than in an hour, plus they are good eating. Oh yes, mixed in with the White Bass are the 7 to 8 pound Largemouth Bass. Have fun. The Catfishing still remained good. A lot of good Catfish were still being caught in 20 foot of water over baited holes. Get the corn mesh sacks folks. The best bait this was still cut bait. Punch bait also worked well. By way, numerous of good 2 to three pound Catfish were caught with jigging spoon and flutter spoons in 22 to 24 of water over deep trash piles. Looking for the best large water fishing boat?
