Lake Fork Report 6-16-09

Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 in Fishing Reports
The hot weather has finally arrived here in East Texas.  The water temps are ranging from 80-86 degrees in most of the lake and there are several good patterns going right now from shallow to deep water.
 
There are still a few places that are holding some fish in shallow water.  Some spots will produce 10-15 good topwater bites on Zara Spook, Yellow Magics, and buzzbaits.  I am using this pattern in the backs of a couple of the major creeks around the hydrilla.  There are also alot of fish on ridges and humps in 6-12 feet of water.  Texas rigged worms in redbug and DD22’s are working well.  Yesterday we had 25 fish off of one ridge and most were on a DD22.  There are also some bass to be caught on the outside edges of the grass in these 6-12 feet depths on worms and DD22’s.  There is also plenty of fish to be caught out on the main lake in 20 to 30 feet depths as well.  I have caught several the past few days in 25 feet on a Texas rigged worm sitting in 35 feet of water and throwing back to 25 feet of water.  Here are the days I have available in the next few weeks.  June 23,25,29,30, July 1-3 are still open.

Fishing Report: Week of 5/13/09

Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 in Fishing Reports

If you love throwing a topwater this is the month to be on Lake Fork.

Most topwater baits will work right now from rogues, propbaits, buzzbaits, popping baits, and walking baits all will work now on Lake Fork.  I prefer the Yellow Magic in the slick water on inside grasslines and along shallow weeds, on large flat areas where I want to cover a lot of water I throw a Zara Spook.

The other techniques I am using right now are shallow diving crankbaits from the Manns Minus-One to the Norman Little N all are working on windy shorelines around shallow vegetation.  Swimming a lizard in these areas is also productive especially if there are bass guarding fry.  I swim the lizard on a Texas rig with a 1/32 oz. bullet weight with a watermelon/red Grande Bass lizard.

Tuesday we had over 40 fish up to the 6lb range on all three of the techniques mentioned above.  Most of the fish I have caught in the recent days are in the post-spawn phase and on the north end of the lake, however there are still many spawning fish available on the south end of the lake in the main lake pockets.  Most of these fish can still be caught on Yellow Magics, wacky rigs, Grande Bass Rattlennakes, and Honcho worms.  Good luck and good fishing.

Here are the days I have available now thru the end of May 25-28,30,31.
