Default Weekly Lake Fork Fishing Report

8)Well, the gates have been open to let out some of the new water the recent rains brought. This has most creeks stained to down right muddy. The release at the dam will pull it out into the lake soon but this should not last long as we were not that high. Many fishermen can’t stand to fish muddy water but the fish are still there. You will need to fish brighter baits like chartreuse, white, and orange. Lipless crank baits and spinner baits will be good choices. The fish wont be as dark or full color as they are in the grass but they will be there. If clear water is your thing the main lake points and secondary points will hold clearer water. The fish are still holding the grass and with the rise in the water the grass will be a little deeper and you can run the lipless crank bait over it. Spinner baits will be another good choice. The water temp will dip back down with this cold front and high wind but the protected areas will hold some warmer water.
The deep bite is still holding and the baits have varied from fisherman to fisherman. Jigging spoons, tail spinner, and drop shots have been holding their own. The key was to look for bait fish and work the baits slowly around them. Light line has been another key as this will help you get more bites. Set your drag and use a lighter action rod than normal. This will keep you from breaking the line. Fight the fish a little more as out deep there are not as many hang ups so take your time and enjoy the fight.
The crappie have been hard to get to as the wind has hindered the fishing on the main lake. This cold front has dropped the wind so the boats will make their way back out soon to the humps. 35 to 45 foot of water has been the best depth to look for the crappie. Find bait and jigs and minnows will get you a limit. I say this every week but if it keeps one fisherman from getting a ticket then great. Don’t forget to keep the first 25 you catch size does matter. This will hold true till the end of February
My new Bass Cat Cougar FTD will be here today I can’t wait. I am looking forward to working with Bass Cat this year and many to come. Chuck and Tonya who own Service marine are a Bass Cat dealer and are located on Lake Fork just off hwy 69 on 515. They have boats in stock and can give you a ride if you need one. This is a high quality boat with many standard features that fit most fishermen. Check them out at your local dealer and boat shows that are going own right now. You can go to BassCat.com and find them on the net.
Don’t forget to book your spring trip as the phone is ringing and if you wont a special day you need to get it booked.
