Things are really heating up here at the lake. With the weather getting hot you can expect the bass fishing at Lake Fork to be hot as well! Although the fishing this week has been good, the big bass are on the verge of busting loose into their post spawn feeding frenzy. Size has been good but the numbers of fish we're catching has varied. Some days you will only catch 20-25 and others you can load the boat. Water temperatures have ranged anywhere from 79-82 degrees in the areas that I have been fishing. The water is clear in the main lake with some stained water in the backs of some of the creeks from recent run off. The lake is full and in great shape.
The top water bite has been excellent on Yellow Magic's Buzz Baits and Frogs early. After the topwater bite ends, I have been heading straight for deep water. I look forward to this time of year because of the great deep structure fishing that Lake Fork is known for and at this time you will find the majority of the bigger bass out deep on the points, roadbeds, ridges and humps. The deep fish that I have been catching are in 20-25 foot. Carolina rigs have by far been the most productive presentation. Best baits have been a Watermelon Seed Brush Hog and a Watermelon Fluke, also a Fineness Worm in the same colors, as it has done well on days that the fish are a little more finicky. If you find the fish are suspended you'll want to hit them with a DD 22, or a Swim bait. Good places to try right now are Bell Hump, 515 East and West Roadbeds, and Chaney Point, the bass have been schooling in these areas.
June and July are a great time to be on Lake Fork the Bass are feeding up after the spawn and they are mean and hungry and easy to catch this time of year.
