Weekly Lake Fork Fishing Report

Well, the weather has stabilized some and the cloud cover has been good for the bite this past week. Cool but fishable. With the coming sun light for the weekend it may slow the bite some but should rebound quickly. The water temp is real low fifties to upper forties. The grass is still the magnet. Find good grass, which isn’t hard right now, and work it over with lipless crank baits, spinner baits, and worm or jig. This is a great time of the year to fish as the next bite may be the next STATE RECORD or your fish of a life time. You may not catch many fish each day but the ones you catch should be good ones. Quality over quanity that is the key word. You can fish from twelve feet of water in right now with the above mentioned baits from now on till the middle of March then change will come. If the weather holds as it has and when the water starts getting into the mid fifties the males will start stacking up in the shallow water. Look around points and secondary points with grass and wood and spend your time. If you get a bite look at what your fishing and look for the same structure else where and you may find more fish. If you get bit work this area over and come back often as more fish may show up. Small spots will hold a bunch of fish sometimes. This will hold true till the water gets in the sixties then the fish will be scattered all over the banks. The lake is in great shape, it is full and most areas are clear to lightly stained. Up north it is still muddy but very fishable.
