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

Lake Fork Report 5/2010

Posted on Thursday, May 6, 2010 in Fishing Reports

 

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.

Lake Fork Report 4/2010

Posted on Tuesday, April 6, 2010 in Fishing Reports
  

Fork is on fire now.  Today we had over 40 and yesterday on a half day had 16 with a pair of 6 lbers.  I have been catching bass on both the north end of the lake and south end and everywhere in between with about the same results everywhere I go.  I’m pretty much just throwing 3 different baits.  Texas-rigged lizards in both 6 or 8 inch sizes and whatever color you want.  I pretty much stay with watermelon shades during clear skies and black during cloud cover.  I’ve also caught fish almost on the bank with the lizards and with weightless plastics like senkos and flukes.  For the little deeper fish I’m fishing a floating rogue moving it with a fast twitch twitch pause retrieve in water 3-6 feet.  Here are the dates I have available from now thru the end of May.  Call my cell anytime at (903)780-0680.
