September is here and it is the start of our Fall Bass fishing, lake fork is 6 foot low that's not a big deal to the bass, but to the boaters that do not know the lake it is, you just need to be Extremely! careful when running the lake right now. If your coming to fish the Big Bass Splash this month the fishing is going to be good! The only problem is the low water as many boats that are in this tournament there will be a lot of boats damaged and who knows how many lower units, all I can say is be careful and don't get in a hurry to run from one spot to another its always better to be safe than sorry. Other than the low water the fishing has been good here on lake fork and will get better as the month rolls along.
Not much has changes since my last report, yesterday Larry West and Bill Allen from Arkansas fished with me and we put 45 bass in the boat and more than half came on a swim bait and the rest on a Zara Spook and a Yellow Magic. The big bass of the day was the first one Larry on his first cast caught one that went 7lbs 8oz this bass crushed his Zara Spook! The bass we are catching have been suspended in deep water and they have been running shad to the top. The Swim bait that has been working best for me is a 1/4oz Storm Wild eye swim shad, they have the jig head in them and ready to fish right out of the pack.
Good places to try right now for the above patterns are, the mouth of Ray Branch, points and pockets on the main lake, and the mouth of Big and little Mustang, there are a lot of schooling bass on the bridges 154 and 515 east and west. I always look forward to this time of year it is the start of the fall Season, the weather is going to start cooling down and the fishing is going to be Hot! So don't miss out on one of the most productive times of year to be on Lake Fork.
