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.

After a long cold winter spring has finally sprung here on Lake Fork.  I have enjoyed some good catches in the past few days due to the warming water temperatures.  There are several patterns working right now and these patterns are working in several locations.  The technique that I have going right now that is producing the most bites is fishing a floating Rogue.  On dark days I’m fishing gold/black back and on sunny days chrome/blue back.  I’m fishing these baits just beneath the surface with a fairly fast twitch-twitch pause retrieve and some of the strikes are almost on the surface.  The next best pattern for me right now is a Texas-rigged lizard watermelon/red on clear days and black neon on dark days.  The lizard has produced the larger fish lately with fish up to 7.5 lbs. respectively.  For these larger females I’ve been concentrating on secondary points leading back in the creeks trying to keep my lizard in the 3-6 foot depths.  Hope you enjoy the photos.  If you would like to book a spring trip here are the remaining dates I have available.  You can reach me anytime on my cell at (903)780-0680.
