Video - Lake Fork Bass Fishing Report - Spawning Bass Texas Rig Tip - How to Fish a Texas Rigged Worm




Hey bass fishing fans, check out the below video to see the exact setup I use for lightweight texas rig fishing. There are many lakes that still have large numbers of spawning bass and the texas rig is the perfect lure for catching these fish. I like to cast this lure in 2-5 ft around shallow stumps and grass and slowly drag and hop the bait back to the boat. In thick cover I like to peg my sinker while in sparse cover I like an unpegged weight. For the best spawning bass action look for wind protected pockets that have a hard bottom. Make sure to cast your tx rig to stumps, sandy spots, or other cover that may have spawning bass nearby. Thanks for watching and for all of the great comments!

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 21)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.32 feet above pool. Bass are good in the early morning on points where the shad are spawning. Cast diesel chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and KVD sexy dawgs on the surface. Target grass and pond weed with frogs in 1-4 feet of water. Mid running crankbaits 2.5-3.5 inches are good on points in 5-7 feet of water. Carolina rigs are good offshore on points and high spots from 12-16 feet. 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 on Lake Fork is a lot of fun right now. The lake has a tremendous population of black crappie and they are stacked up on all kinds of structures all over the lake in 12-28 feet. White crappie are also loading up on certain trees. You can find black crappie on some bridges, underwater bridges, roadbeds, brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs, points and the base of timber. I’ve seen some lay downs the past week that may have over 1000 crappie on them. The only problem is finding black crappie over 10 inches when you have so many fish on spots. It is a lot of fun to catch hundreds of crappie per day even if you cannot keep all of them. One of the hottest spots for numbers right now is the big reef in front of the 154 public ramp. Any electronics will find it straight out from the ramp just before the boat lane. It’s very large and easily visible on traditional electronics. The bottom is covered with structures of different kinds and crappie. You can fish minnows just off the bottom or swim small jigs just off the bottom to catch a lot of crappie. You may only see one out of ten fish that are 10 inches. Swimming jigs is a very productive method
