SPRING FISHING ON FORK 2011

Posted on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 in Fishing Reports

–SPRING FISHING ON FORK–

It’s finally here. Spring on Lake Fork has finally arrived and great fishing has been going on for several weeks now and is getting better. As I write this report on March 15 we are a few days away from a full moon which means a huge wave of fish should hit the banks in the next few days for spawning activities. Today I saw several fish on beds in 57 degree water and we have a forecast of 80 degree days coming up so the next few weeks should be great. This past Sunday we had our first Share-A-Lunker bass caught and she weighed 14.25 lbs. and was caught on a lizard and there could be more caught this week with the full moon coming.

Fishing has been pretty good most days depending on weather. Most days I have been catching 15-25 per day with usually several in the 6 lb range being common. Lately most bass for me have come from the main lake on suspending jerkbaits. Normally I throw the chrome/blue on sunny days and gold/black on cloudy days. The whole key to the jerkbait is finding the key depth and retrieve speed. Most of the time a 3 twitch and about a 10 second pause is the best technique but you just never know. Sometimes they want you to move it very aggressive and that will trigger a reaction strike.

Other techniques are working as well. Spinnerbaits and lizards are also working in the creeks especially in the more stained water. Most of the creeks are very dirty now since we have no hydrilla to filter out the water.

I have no availability left in March but in April I have the 4th and 28th still open. May is pretty full but here are the May dates I currently have available. May 1,5,6,8,9,15,16,17,20,23,24,25,26,29 and June is fairly open right now to. If I can be of any help call me anytime at (903)780-0680. By the way I still have my 2010 Skeeter FX for sale for what I feel is a good price. This boat needs to sell ASAP.

Lake Fork Report 2011

Posted on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 in Fishing Reports

 

Guys
 
Hope you guys are getting cabin fever and getting ready to do some fishing.  The past few weeks have been pretty cold but the bass have been fairly cooperative.  As of yesterday 1-25-2011 most of the lake was 43-45 degrees.  Normally it’s hard to even get a bite when it’s that cold but we ended up catching 11 bass up to 7 lbs.  Eight of the fish were caught on jigs the others were caught on rattle baits.  Our lake level as of now is about 3.5 feet low and if we continue not to get any rain we should have a great prespawn.  Right now with the lake low fish are grouped on the channels and little sloughs and drains which make for some great jig and spinnerbait fishing.  If we can catch 10 -15 fish a day now when the water is this cold I can only imagine what it will be like when the water gets in the 50s. 
 
Most of our largest bass of the year are caught from now thru March.  If you want to try some prespawn action from now thru the first of March give me a shout.  February is a great month for that and I have some days available then.  If you still want a spring trip I still have a few days left in March and April but call quick because they are going fast.
