Lake Fork Guide David Vance Trophy Bass Fishing Report




With the last few days of warm weather, the bass have made a major move to the shallows to spawn, and with the new flooded vegetation and cover this should be one of the best spawns in years. Most of the Bass we are catching right now are in 3 to 5 feet over the spawning flats. With a colder than usual March, April is lining up for for some great spawning action. Marvin Kauh from Houston fished with me yesterday and today and we put 44 bass in the boat, and Marvin caught 3 over seven pounds and one that weighed 7lbs.14oz. What a great two days of fishing, all these fish came on Brush hogs. This week we have also caught fish on a June bug Trick worm and a Watermelon Red senko fished wacky style. Good areas to try right now are Chaney Branch, Bell Branch, North West Bay,.Long Branch, Little Mustang, Leafy Branch, these creeks have bass moving on the beds and have been producing some big fish this week. Lake Fork has come up over 4 feet and is in the best shape I have seen it in a long time. With March being so cold we are going to see the spawn go into May, and with the lake almost full and all the new cover April, May, June, the fishing is going to be awesome!!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.23 feet above pool. Fork : Top waters early around pond weed and grass with frogs and poppers still working . Mid morning chatter baits on the outside edge of grass in 3-5 ft is good as well as shaky heads . Best bite is Carolina rigs off shore on points , road beds and humps in 12-25 ft . Big worms and flukes are good . Deep Cranks are good over the same area when the fish are suspending 19-23 ft . Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Small fish patterns like a dock knocker are producing bass and crappie shallow near grass. 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. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been super up and down this past week. The fish are stacked up on brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs and some trees. The bite is the tricky part. Some days the bite is good and the bigger fish show up. Some days the bite is just off and the short fish show up. Seems like the bite may be better on days we have a little breeze. If the winds are calm the bite is very slow. Minnows will get some bites but small 1/32nd ounce hand tied jigs with small bodies and tails are working well on fish that don’t want to bite. Best depths have been 18-13ft with most fish suspended on trees and loaded in the brush. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
