Lake Fork Report 6-2010

If there was ever a great time to fish Lake Fork June would have to be one of the better months.  For the shallow water fisherman there are bass to be caught on topwaters early and on cloudy days and for the guys who like to cover water spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and crankbaits along wind blown hydrilla and milfoil will work well.

 

For me I have been starting on shallow ridges from 5-8 feet of water and moving out to about 20 feet as the day progresses.  I know many guides that have been doing well out in the deep water from 20-30 feet but I have been catching most of mine shallower.  As far as lure choices I have been alternating between a T-rigged Lake Fork Tackle 8 inch red shad or red bug Lake Fork worm, green pumpkin football jig, DD 22, and a Deep Little N in any shad color.  Most days I can catch 20-40 per day.  I will usually have one or two days per week where it seems like things are a little off and we catch 10-15. 

 

Timing is very critical this time of year.  When I hit a school of fish on a creek bend, ridge, or whatever I pay close attention to the time of day I hit that particular area and try to duplicate it the next day.  I have had many instances lately when I pull up to an area and catch 10-15 fish in 20 casts and most fish are 3-5 lbs with an occasional 7-8 lber.  Bill Humphrey from New London fished with me the Tuesday before the Skeeter Owners Tournament practicing for the event and we pulled up to a certain creek bend and caught 6 or so fish in a row and left the area.  Saturday of the Skeeter Tournament he caught 22 bass there on a DD22 throwing at the same tree.

 

Here are some pictures from the past few days.  I have some open dates from now thru the end of the month and fishing should remain good.  Call or email for open dates.  (903)780-0680 or email brogers8202@aol.com
