Lake Fork Anglers F-4 Team Tourmament Results from 10/5/7




LFA fishes a team competition once a month. All of our tournaments, on the other Thursday during the month are draw. Members are always fishing with someone new thereby getting the opportunity to learn many techniques, baits, and places. We are are not capped and are always looking for new members to join our other 50+ mostly seniors.

On todays tournament a tremendous amount of fish were caught by the anglers with an outstanding winning weight. The team counts their best 10 fish caught between them. Of course all of the fish caught are measured on a Chek it Stik, recorded and then released. No fish are retained unless someone were to caught a SAL which has never happened.

While members catch a fair share of Lake Fork overs, that is fish over 24", most of the bass are of normal size. For us everything 10" and over counts. Some days a little bass is what saves your day.

The wind was down and the fish were biting.

Don Overstreet and Gene Shoemaker came in first with 28.29 on 10 bass and Gene had the 24 1/2" lunker weighing on our chart at 9.12 LB.
Bob Roberts and Terry Thompson were 2nd with 14.22 on 10 bass anchored by Bob's 2.31 LB lunker.
Bill Ailes and Charlie Arnold were 3rd with 11.84 on 8 bass anchored by Bill's 2.88 LB. lunker
Randy Steele and John Berech were 4th with 11.83 on 8 bass anchored by John's 4.87 LB. lunker
Dennis Bubinas and Charlie Abresch were 5th with 6.8 on 7 bass with no lunkers.


LFA Members must fish 8 regular club tournaments during the year in order to qualify for the Team Championship, and the Major League Fishing Championship.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

GOOD. Water Stained; 60 degrees; 0.20 feet above pool. Bass have slowed, but post spawners are setting up on points in 5-7 feet of water with Carolina rigged creature baits. Topwaters and frogs are good early morning around grass. Shaky heads are good around boat houses. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Changing weather means changing bite. First phase spawners are now in a post spawn pattern and aggressive. Frog pattern top waters are excellent in the grass and brush. Casting into the pockets and letting the frog sit for a few seconds is a good idea. Crappies are shallow, catching them on edge of banks, small fish patterns like wooly buggers are a good bet. Bream are beginning to make themselves known in the shallows, wooly buggers and small poppers should bring a strike.Crappie are good in 2-13 feet on timber and around grass lines. Some fish are moving back out into the 12-18 feet areas and a little deeper. Black crappie are on a few bridges, but fish are not loaded up yet. Black crappie are also grouping under docks on sunny afternoons. Cast 1/16th ounce hand tied jigs continue to be good in white and gray, white and chartreuse and light blue and gray colors. Minnows will still work very well and especially on shallow fish around grass. Soft plastics will also work well as the fish have been very aggressive. We should see the aggressive bite until the warmer months get here and the fish get a little finicky. Catfishing continues to be good around timber where birds are roosting in 10-18 feet. Also getting reports of some shallow catfish around grass lines and sea walls. Those fish are most likely chasing shad spawns. Catfish are cruising around shallow wood in 6-12 feet, with lots of fry showing up. Use your favorite prepared catfish bait to load the boat once you locate the fish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
