This fishing continues to be good hear on Lake Fork. We are already starting to see some changes in the weather and with some recent rain storms that are popping up just about ever other day, conditions are starting to cool down a bit. We are catching good numbers of 2 & 3 pound bass, you can load the boat right now if your in the right place when these bass come up schooling. The water temp at the time of this report was about 83 degrees on the main lake. Lake Fork is almost 4 feet low and that's not bad compared to most lakes in the state.. All the public boat ramps are in good shape no problem launching your boat at all. In the last few days both shallow and deep patterns are working. The shallow bite has been good working the edge of the grass lines early, best bait for me has been a wacky worm watermelon & June bug have been best colors for me. By mid morning the bass are starting to school and best bait to catch these schooling bass for me, has been a ¼ chrome and blue rat-l-trap. When these bass go down I am still using a salt and pepper grub on a ¼ jig head, most of our bigger bass have come on the grub. When the schooling slows down I have been going to the Carolina rig, best depth has been 15 to 25 feet on main lake and secondary points. Best bait for me on the Carolina rig has been a watermelon red finesse worm and a watermelon seed centipede. Good places to try are the mouths of the creeks, big and little mustang, wolf, white oak, are producing good numbers of bass we are catching 25 to 30 a day. The fishing will continue to even get better as we head into the fall season, look for there to be a lot of small bass up close to the grass while most of the big Bass are still in deeper water for now. As conditions cool down over the next few weeks the bigger Bass will start to move up.
The Fall fishing here at Lake Fork can be some of the best anywhere, so don't miss out on some of the best Bass Fishing of the year. If you would like to Book a Guide Trip you can reach at 903-629-7699 or 903-629-5085 check out my web site http://www.lakeforktexasfishingreports.com
