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 (Apr. 30)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.21 feet below pool. Shad spawn is decent in the early morning with diesel chatterbaits and small spinnerbaits on points with birds. Flukes and wacky rigs are good around grass and the edge of grass in 1-3 feet. Work topwaters over the bass guarding fry in the pockets. 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.
