The bass are spawning here at Lake Fork. For those of you that are looking for the opportunity to catch a bass of a lifetime, this is the time of year you can do it. There are a lot of Big bass up shallow right now just looking to be caught, here are a few tips for catching these spawning bass, key areas to fish right now are in the back of the creeks and points that are adjacent to spawning flats, creek channels leading to these flats will produce good results also. Fish can be found in a number of creeks and pockets on the lake right now and can be found moving on the beds just about everywhere on the lake. This cold front is going to be short lived, and water temp will rebound quickly, the weather is going to be back in the mid seventy's this coming week and more bass will be moving in to spawn.
Water Conditions, Lake Fork will be on the rise after all this much needed rain and there will be a lot of new cover to fish. We have been catching the majority of our fish on weightless Trick Worms, a Trick Worm fished slowly over the flats where the bass are making there beds is hard to beat. Best colors have been watermelon red, and green pumpkin, also a Texas rig or short Carolina rig with a Brush Hog or a Lizard has been working good. With the lake on the rise a Spinner bait is going to be hot! With all the new flooded cover, the Spinner bait I like to throw with all this new new cover is a ¼ oz White & Chartreuse with Nickel and Gold Willow leaf blades.
Yesterday Bob Davis and Jeff Wilson from Las Vegas fished with me and we put 27 in the boat with one that went 7 lb 10 oz, and 7 lb 4 oz most of these bass came on the Brush Hog and Trick Worm. Good areas to try right now are Big and Little Mustang, in these creeks starting from the 17 bridge working your way to the mouth is a good place to start, also North West bay in Little Caney and working your way to Quail Hollow a lot of bass are moving in on beds in these creeks. The next three months is the best fishing of the year so make your plans to get to Lake Fork. Hope these tips will help on your next trip to the lake, if you would like to book a Guide Trip and get in on some Great Spawning Action My Cell # is 903-629-5085 or 903-629-7699 Check out my Web Site http://www.lakeforktexasfishingreports.com
