GOOD. Water Stained; 81 degrees; 1.40 feet below pool. Early morning bass bite has been pretty good around weeds, grass, chatterbaits, swimbaits and flukes. Mid range bite is good 5-7 feet most of the day around bream beds in 3-5 feet with squarebill crankbaits and shaky heads. Offshore bite picks up from noon to 3 p.m. Carolina rigs and big shaky heads best with big worms in 15-20 feet. Humps, points and road beds are good. Deep crankbaits are fair over humps in 18-25 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Bass are feeding in 10-12 feet where the thermocline is not present. Look for schooling bass in the open water and creeks as shad hatch is in full swing. Also, check out the brush piles as big bass are using them to feed on crappie. Bream are excellent in the shallows, wooly buggers and small poppers should bring a strike. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The Lake Fork crappie fishing continues to be hot even though the temperatures are dropping each week. The big white crappie have been showing out on timber in 18-28 feet. There has also been a great bite for white crappie on brush piles in 14-22 feet. We are still not seeing the black crappie stacking up as the water cools down, but it should not be long. Minnows are still the dominant bait by far on Lake Fork, but we are seeing the jig bite get better each week going into fall. Catfish are moving deeper and in huge numbers. Seeing tons of fish around timber along creek channels in 18-28 feet. They are following the shad as they migrate towards deeper water where they will spend the winter. You can just target them around timber with any catfish bait of choice or bait the area well with cattle cubes or sour grain to really tear them up.
