Lake Fork Report 9/6/2018




I would like to start out by thanking everyone who made it out to Lake Fork so far this season. I have been blessed to earn your business and hope to see all again soon.

As of this post, Lake Fork water level is 400.65 and the water temperature is at 83. As you can see from the above pictures, Lake Fork is especially beautiful this time of year.

The numbers of fish we are catching have been good to great but the bigger bites have been a little tough which is common this time of year. We’ll soon be catching fall giants here on Lake Fork.

What has changed from my last report is I am starting to find some fish up shallow in the grass in the back of creeks. I am catching these fish on a Yellow Magic (bone), Limit Getter Spinner Bait, Underspins with a Skinny Dipper (white) and Weightless Fluke (dip tail or solid white). There’s a lot of little shad that have started to move up in the grass.

Out deep they have been more scattered. I may catch them off one spot in 12-15 feet and the next spot in 20-22 feet. Some of these fish are coming off road beds while others are on main lake points.

- Drop Shot - #1 rigging hook and a 5/16 oz weight. I am using a 14 inch leader with a finesse worm (Tomato).

- Carolina Rig - #3 rigging hook 1 oz weight and 5’ leader with
a 10.5" Ol’ Monster (Junebug).

- Weightless Fluke - #3 rigging hook ( White Pearl/Disco Violet)

- KT jigging spoon.

If you are planning to come out in September and October, please make sure to get your dates booked in advance. I still have days open and would love to have y’all out.

Thanks, Eric Wright 972 757 7947

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.23 feet above pool. Fork : Top waters early around pond weed and grass with frogs and poppers still working . Mid morning chatter baits on the outside edge of grass in 3-5 ft is good as well as shaky heads . Best bite is Carolina rigs off shore on points , road beds and humps in 12-25 ft . Big worms and flukes are good . Deep Cranks are good over the same area when the fish are suspending 19-23 ft . Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Small fish patterns like a dock knocker are producing bass and crappie shallow near grass. 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. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been super up and down this past week. The fish are stacked up on brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs and some trees. The bite is the tricky part. Some days the bite is good and the bigger fish show up. Some days the bite is just off and the short fish show up. Seems like the bite may be better on days we have a little breeze. If the winds are calm the bite is very slow. Minnows will get some bites but small 1/32nd ounce hand tied jigs with small bodies and tails are working well on fish that don’t want to bite. Best depths have been 18-13ft with most fish suspended on trees and loaded in the brush. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
