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 (Sep. 17)

GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 85 degrees; 1.09 feet below pool. Starting to see some turnover in the backs of pockets after the last cool spell. Bass are good on the main lake early in the day with topwaters, chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits until the midday sun. Texas rigs and shaky heads are good around docks and timber in 5-7 feet of water. Carolina rigs are fair on big points with fluke type baits and 7 inch worms in 12-17 feet of water. Deep crankbaits are fair over the ends of deep points and road beds. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service.
