Video - Lake Fork Bass Fishing Report - Prespawn Jig Fishing Tips - How to Fish Jigs for Largemouth Bass




Hello Lake Fork Fans, bass fishing season has begun! Heavy largemouth are moving towards the back of shallow flats where they will soon be spawning. These fish are using creek channels and ditches as staging areas in 5-15 ft. Look for bass in the front half of creeks on the northern part of the lake as these areas will warm up the fastest. My favorite bait this time of year is a jig. Watch the below video report to learn more about the three bass jigs I am fishing right now. We have caught tons of chunky bass on this lure every year, especially in February. Stay confident when jig fishing and you will have a successful day on the water. Thanks for watching and as always please let me know what you think, feel free to contact me with any fishing questions. Good luck everyone, go get em!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 15)

GOOD. Water Stained; 47 degrees; 1.66 feet below pool. The bass bite is best on the main lake around humps and ledges in 15-25 feet with Alabama rigs. Mid range bass are fair, suspended on timber in 12-15 feet with jerkbaits and large spinnerbaits. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been up and down just like the weather the last few weeks. We have settled into the winter pattern and you can find fish from about 18 feet to as deep as you can find. Some fish are just 8-18 feet down on the timber even in sixty-plus feet deep water. You can also find fish down as deep as 45-50 feet on the same timber. We are seeing a lot of fish but we are seeing tons of small fish. Seems like you can pick a bigger fish or two out of a group and then just find you another group of fish. Smaller baits are working well for my boat and 1/16 ounce hand ties on 6-12 pounds fluoro is my best bait in neutral colors. The key is to hold those baits very still and wait for the bite. If you move the bait or the waves move your bait that fish will most likely not bite. You will need to find fish in protected areas if the wind is blowing that day. Minnows and soft plastics will get you bit as well. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
