Lake Fork Fishing Report 10JUN07
I finally get a moment to sit down and write this short report. Lake Fork is at full pool, give or take a few inches day to day. The water clarity is clear, especially the further south you are fishing. Milfoil and Hydrilla is just about in every area of the lake now that I have fished. I have been finding the outside grass line in 10-13 ft. in most areas.
The bass fishing here on the lake has been great. 90% of my trips in the last 2 weeks have been at night. The bite was the greatest during the 10 days around the full moon earlier this month. As we loose moonlight the night bite has decreased. Many of my trips earlier this month would start out with topwater baits one hour before dark. We would often catch 20-30 fish during this time, mostly small fish. Then after dark we would head to main lake points, humps and flats with grasses, timber and an occasional man made brush pile to go hawg hunting. This is where the bigger fish were taking Reaction Innovations Big Unit in Black Emerald. I am using a 7/16 pegged bullet weight with a 5/0 long shank, offset Owner hook. I rig this on a 7ft. heavy action St. Croix or Falcon rod with 25-30 lb. test Sunline. Many hearts will be broken using any lighter line in the areas we are fishing! Most bites were coming on the outside grass line or in the brush piles. This night bite will pick back up during our next full moon period which is on 30JUN07.
The bite during the day has improved since the nights are darker. If they are not feeding at night, they must feed during the day. A Revenge jig in Blk/Blue/Purlple with an assortment of Sweet Beaver colors as a trailer has produced the largest bite. Pitching and Flipping the timber around the grass is key. We have also caught some nice fish on 4-9 inch swim baits in 10-45 ft. A drop shot Reaction Innovations (Flirt) will catch numbers all over the lake from 5-45 ft.
Give me a call for a trip here on Lake Fork . This makes a great gift for Fathers Day or any occasion. Let me be your Lake Fork Guide.
LINDALE, Texas — Lake Fork is undisputedly the top largemouth bass lake
in Texas, maybe in the world. But until this year it has been notably
absent from the national bass fishing tournament schedule due to
stringent slot limits.

Lake Fork Guide Clint Wright July 2006 Fishing Report

Well, hello fellow fishermen and women. This report is for Lake Fork,
Texas July 12, 2006 until today July 16, 2006. The past few days of
fishing have truly been exciting. The daytime bite has been found in
25-30 foot of water. We have been starting off early in the morning at
these depths and the fish are biting when we show up. This has led me
to believe that the shallow water bite is just about done! The fish we
have caught are here one day and somewhere else the next. A good color
graph is a must. I am NOT catching any fish unless I mark them on my
graph first. These fish are fairly easy to catch. Drop shot, Carolina
Rig, Texas Rig, Jigs and Spoons have been my arsenal along with the
occasional DD-22 in a shad pattern. The plastics I am throwing are just
what ever I feel like grabbing out of the box. I know these bass are
feeding on Shad, but I have caught several lately that have nice size
yellow bass (sand bass) hanging out of their throat. These yellow bass
are as big as my hand!!! What they plan on doing with something as big
as a DD-22 with that fish in their throat blows my mind? As the evening
approaches I have been following these fish to areas that are still
deep but much closer to 10 and 12 foot w/ grass close by. But, these
fish are no longer committing to the shallow grass like they were in my
two previous reports; this tactic has proven useless for us. Drops,
ledges, humps etc. are the all time pattern now. (Look on your map and
find the areas where the contour lines come close together.) In the
evening, if not too much wind, keep a Zara Spook or some top water tied
on, the big fish are schooling. I am talking big fish too. Three to
Eight pound ranges have been caught on top by my clients in the last
couple of days, in 25 foot of water. Tonight was my first booked night
trip in a couple of days. Good job Louann on your 7lb. hawg. We fished
from 6p.m. until 10p.m. They must of caught 20 fish over 3 pounds. But,
the night bite proved to be tougher than usual. That’s why we call it
fishing not catching. If you have never fished at night for Bass at
Lake Fork, you are really missing out. I have been night fishing Lake
Fork for over 20 years and would like to show you this great lake after
the sun goes down. I really enjoy night fishing this time of year, not
as hot and most of the time better fishing. We don't have to fish as
deep at night either, most of the time. The best tip I can give today
is to upsize the weight on your drop shot to at least a ¾ ounce. This
allows the bait to stay in one place longer. Same with jigs, we had
best luck with 1 ounce jigs just twitching it. I have also started
using 1 ounce bullet weight on the Texas rig with a 5/0 hook. This
allows the bait to wonder farther into the brush piles. It also allows
you to cover water quickly. If you fish a spoon, try one that is big (7
inches in chrome). Let it fall straight down to the bottom and pull up,
repeat. Fish a spoon on light drag as you will not be fishing this in
brush (unless you just want to get rid of it). If you want to stock up
on Spoons, Plastics or terminal tackle see Don at Anglers Online in
Yantis, Texas. He is a super nice guy and has a large assortment of
tackle. Let him know Clint sent ya!
