With night time temperatures already starting to cool down, the water temp here at Lake Fork is from 82 degrees. Lower water temps means that the Bass are starting to get more active. Over the past week the Bass fishing has been good we are catching 25 to 30 a day we are now seeing signs that the Bass are beginning to move into a Fall pattern. The early morning Top Water bite is good for first two hours of the morning, and by 10am the bass have been coming up schooling. Best bait for me to catch these schooling bass has been a ¼ rattle trap and when they are up you can catch them on just about every cast. A lot of the bigger bass are suspended, I have been using a 5 inch salt and pepper Grub on a ¼ jig head to catch the bigger bass that are suspended under the schools of shad. For the shallow bite this week we have been using a wacky worm in 2 to 4 feet of water colors, watermelon and watermelon red has worked best for me. Good places to try right now are main lake and secondary points, and there has been a lot of schooling bass under the 515 East and 515 West bridges. The lake is about 4 feet low but is in great shape for some very good fishing over the next couple of months. All of the public boats ramps are in good shape and you will have no trouble putting in. By the time we get into early October, the fall bass fishing will be in full swing.
