Lake Fork Report 5/2010

Fishing on Lake Fork the past several weeks has been great.  With bass now in all phases of the spawn especially late spawn and post spawn there are a variety of techniques working.  Most days I have been catching fish on Yellow Magics in the mornings up to 9 lbs. and some days catching fish all day on the Yellow Magic depending on wind and light conditions.  Shallow diving crankbaits like the Mann’s Minus-1 have been working well along wind blown weeds and on spawning flats.  Plastics are still working well to especially around cattails and new growing lily pads.  Lately I have caught some nice bass on a full size brush hog in these types of areas along with any other weightless plastics.  The next technique that I have done well with is a deeper diving crankbait(one that dives 4-7 feet) and concentrating on wind blown points at the mouths of spawning pockets on the main lake.  Crankbaits like a Norman Little N, Deep Baby N, or a Strike King series 2 and 3 are working well in these places. 

 

 My 2009 Skeeter 225 ZX is still for sale at $35,900 which is below blue book value.  This boat is in great shape and desperately needs a new home.

 

Here are the days I currently have open now thru mid June.  Check out the pictures and call me anytime to book a trip at (903) 780-0680.
