Lake Fork Report 6-16-09

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.
