Lake Fork Report 4/10/2019

I want to start out by thanking everyone who has come out to fish with me this season. I am having a blast and I appreciate the opportunity to work hard and help y’all have a great time on Lake Fork.

As of this post, the water level on Lake Fork is currently 402.94 and the temperature where I have been fishing is around 67 degrees. We are having an awesome spawn on Lake Fork and if you enjoy sight fishing now is the time! The mornings can still be a little cool, so if you are planning to come out make sure to check the weather.

My go to bait for sight fishing is a Paca Craw/Okeechobee Craw - I rig this bait with a 5/16 Tungsten and #3 rigging hook. I have also been able to catch them with the Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craw. Don’t forget to bring a great pair of polarized sunglasses. I use Costa sunglasses with Blue Mirror/Amber.

I am also catching some fish right now using a drop shot on secondary points holding timber. I am rigging it with a ¼ oz weight and #1 rigging hook. The trick here is to set your leader at about 12" (Tomato/Mardi Gras) finesse worms.

Some other baits we have been working with have been Frogs, Line Through Swimbaits and I can’t tell you enough how productive the Owner-Underspin 3/8 oz with a Skinny Dipper (white trash) has been for us. You want this lure in your boat.

I hope this information can help those of you coming out to Lake Fork.

I do have evenings open for those looking to get out with me this spring. These trips begin at 4:30 and fish until dark. The cost is $200 and this price is good for 1-2 anglers.

I am starting to book up full and half day trips for the second half of June and July and would love to have y'all out. If you are planning on coming out this summer, make sure to get your trip booked in advance. I will put all the prices down below the photos and if you would like to see more, please follow me on Instagram and Facebook.

Thank you for stopping by - Eric Wright.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

GOOD. Water Stained; 60 degrees; 0.67 feet above pool. Lake Fork flood gates are open which can make the bite tough. The best bite has been on shaky heads and Carolina rigs on main lake points and secondary points in 5-8 feet of water. Squarebill crankbaits are catching a few in the same areas. Frog bite is slow over flooded grass. Yum dingers are fair at the edge of the grass 2-4 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork has been great this week if you find the right areas and patterns to fish. The spawn is coming to an end and the black crappie are beginning to load up on certain bridges and docks. If you search you can find some big schools of keeper size black crappie. We have had to battle heavy rains, terrible winds and even thunderstorms lately a lot. Hopefully we will see more stable weather conditions over the next few weeks. You can still find some larger white crappie on timber in 10-22ft. Also seeing some white crappie loading up on certain brush in some areas close to where they spawned. Jigs and minnows are both producing well right now and should stay the same until around June or July. Catfishing is still hot on Lake Fork. Baited holes in 12-20ft along creek channels are doing great for channel cats. Use cattle cubes or sour grain to get them to hold in one spot. Then use any prepared catfish bait or cut shad to load the boat with eater sized catfish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
