Lake Fork Guide David Vance Trophy Bass Fishing Report




With the last few days of warm weather, the bass have made a major move to the shallows to spawn, and with the new flooded vegetation and cover this should be one of the best spawns in years. Most of the Bass we are catching right now are in 3 to 5 feet over the spawning flats. With a colder than usual March, April is lining up for for some great spawning action. Marvin Kauh from Houston fished with me yesterday and today and we put 44 bass in the boat, and Marvin caught 3 over seven pounds and one that weighed 7lbs.14oz. What a great two days of fishing, all these fish came on Brush hogs. This week we have also caught fish on a June bug Trick worm and a Watermelon Red senko fished wacky style. Good areas to try right now are Chaney Branch, Bell Branch, North West Bay,.Long Branch, Little Mustang, Leafy Branch, these creeks have bass moving on the beds and have been producing some big fish this week. Lake Fork has come up over 4 feet and is in the best shape I have seen it in a long time. With March being so cold we are going to see the spawn go into May, and with the lake almost full and all the new cover April, May, June, the fishing is going to be awesome!!

So if you are looking for some great Spring fishing, Lake Fork is the place to be.

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.
