Video - Lake Fork Bass Fishing Tip - How to Choose a Jig Trailer




Hey bass fishing fans, check out the below video to see how to choose the best soft plastic trailer for your bass jig. A jig is a great way to catch late summer largemouth in both shallow and deep water. I like to flip 3/8 oz to 1/2 oz jigs to standing timber in 8-12 ft, or drag a 3/4 or 1 oz football jig on main lake points, humps and roadbeds in 15-25 ft. On sunny calm days the flipping bite has been best while on windy days the deep structure bite has been the better choice. Make sure to choose the best trailer for your jig when fishing Lake Fork in August and hang on tight! Thanks for watching and for all of the great comments!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Aug. 27)

GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 85-90 degrees; 0.74 feet below pool. Lake is 10 inches low. Morning bass bite is shallow for a couple of hours around grass and bream beds. Chatterbaits and square bills are good in 2-5 feet. Mid morning target bass offshore a bit in 5-7 feet, 2.5 square bills are good around flats with lots of baitfish around. Shad patterns best. The midday and afternoon bite remains offshore on road beds, points, channel swings with deep crankbaits and Carolina rigs in 15-24 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Early and late topwater bite around grass lines and isolated cover on main lake and secondary points. Try frog and mouse patterns for topwater. Bass are beginning to school, a hard-bodied popper should work well. Bream are shallow, try small hoppers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service.
