David Vance's Weekly Lake Fork Report
The fishing this week has been good for numbers, the bass are starting to school all over the lake . The top water bite is steal off and on, the ones we have caught on top have been on a shad colored Pop R. The best bait for me to catch the schooling bass has been a ¼ oz chrome and blue Rat-L-trap, when these bass come up you can almost catch them on every cast. Most of the schooling activity I have seen has been in the mouths of the creeks, and around the bridges 515 east and west also the 154 bridge has been good. When these bass go down I am using a Salt &Pepper Grub on a ¼ jig head to catch the bass that are suspended. When the schooling action slows down I have been changing to a Carolina Rig, I am using a 1oz weight and a three foot leader 15lb line. Best baits for me on the Carolina Rig has been a watermelon seed centipede and a watermelon red finesse worm. We got a little bit of rain yesterday and it was nice, I think this heat wave is just about over. Soon the weather will be cooling off and the and the fishing will be heating up.
