Welcome to lake Fork Surface temps are varying from 52 in the morning to 59 in the afternoon depending on part of the lake your on. The water gets warmer and another cold front comes through. There are several bass on the beds in a few areas already and with warmer temps forcasted for the rest of the week we will see the first large wave of fish start to get on in the warmer spawning areas. The fishing has been off and on from day to day lately with the fronts coming in and out. With the warmer temps coming now I think it's about to bust loose out there!! There are several ways to catch them right now. Lots of fish in different stages but we have concentrating on the very shallow water in 2" to 7" of water. Shaky heads, light weight short c-rigs, jigs ,texas rigs,wacky rigs and drop shots will all work on most days with soft plastics. If throwing a wacky rig I suggest you try Bayou Tackles Wacky Wedge hook. This small weighted hook in 1/16 or 1/8 oz. works great on trick worms or senko type stick baits. Just experiment on all these type baits mentioned above and see what presentation they want on that particular day or the area your fishing in . On real windy days shallow square bill cranks in reds and oranges or shad colors and white or white and chartreuse spinnerbaits will work well around timber. Green pumpkin lightly tipped with chartreuse in the stained water and watermelon seed and watermelon red has worked for us in the more clear water. You really don't need to change or try a lot of different colors right now. Location of the fish is the main key .The warmer water you find the better it willl be at this time of Spring where there is just 2 degrees in surface temps can make a difference in the bite. With the lack of grass a lot of fish will spawn not only on regular spawning flats adjacent to creek channels or deeper water drops but also in the tree roots on some of the long extended main lake shallow points and secondary points. On your spawning flats key on north or northwest banks or pockets for these type areas are the warmest . With the water about to warm up good now thru April is going to be some awesome shallow water spawn fishing and there will be a lot of big fish caught ! Hope these tips will help you catch a few more fish.!I don't have any dates left in March but do have some great days in April left .
