    Lake Fork produces season’s first Toyota ShareLunker; rainbow trout are biting in Texas

    Stephen Proctor of Pryor, Oklahoma, caught Toyota ShareLunker 549 from Lake Fork on November 21. Proctor caught the 13.29-pound bass from 18 feet of water on four-pound line while fishing for crappie under the Texas 154 bridge. He was using a Panfish Assassin lure. Trout fishing season in Texas is here again. TPWD stocks rainbow trout in more than 100 lakes and rivers as part of the Neighborhood Fishin' program. Stocking begins in late November or early December and continues until March. Lakes receive the most frequent stockings, but many other sites get one or two deliveries of this popular fish. Best baits for the trout are cheese, kernel corn, nightcrawlers, red wigglers, and meal worms. If you'd rather use a lure, try a small inline spinnerbait or a spoon. 2013-2014 trout stocking dates * Medical Center South, Amarillo: 11/26, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 Oakes Street, San Angelo: 11/26, 12/27, 1/24, 2/21 Southside Lions Park, San Antonio: 11/27, 12/27, 1/24, 2/21 Miller's Pond, San Antonio: 11/27, 12/27, 1/24, 2/21 Buena Vista Park, Waco: 11/27, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 Bullfrog Pond, Austin: 11/27, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 Greenbriar Park, Fort Worth: 11/29, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 Hurst Chisholm Park: 11/29, 12/27, 1/24, 2/21 Lakeside Park, Duncanville: 11/29, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 Mesquite City Lake: 11/29, 12/27, 1/24, 2/21 South Lakes Park Pond, Denton: 11/29, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 South Weeks, Wichita Falls: 11/26, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 Central Park Pond #1, College Station: 11/27, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 Mary Jo Peckham Park, Katy: 11/29, 12/27, 1/24, 2/21 Missouri City Community Park Lake: 11/29, 12/13, 12/27, 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7 * Dates may change on short notice due to weather or other circumstances.

    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.
