Cranks, spinner baits, Neko rig and drops shot shallow in the back of creeks is the most consistent in 4' to 7' of water. Some of the boat houses have also produced. Smaller bait working best because of the shad their earing. I think the rst of Nov. will be good offshore for larger bass. Good Fishing!

Welcome to Lake Fork. Water level is now -1.61 low and surface temp 1s 77 to 79 degrees. Bass fishing is pretty good. Fish are getting into Fall transition slowly. W catching them 2' to 5' early in the morning on small swim baits and Neko rig. After that we're moving out 16' to 20' on main lake points. The drop shot has been working well. Also a c- rig with a fluke working ok. I have food dates open next week . I also think Oct. is going to be very food. Not seeing any lake turnover yet and it may be light this Fall

A lot of shad are moving out of the backs of creeks to front. Also fishing some of the bridges. Good colors have been tomato on the drop shot and watermelon red on the c-rig. Don't underestimate Dec. fishing here and I have good dates open this time of year.

Welcome to Lake Fork
Water level is -4.38 and surface temp is lower 50s. This is the best water level we’ve had since early last Winter. We had a pretty severe cold front here last week then some much needed rain. The ground was already saturated so most of it was runoff into the lake. Looking at the extended future forecast it looks fairly mild heading toward Spring. These big females will start heading toward their pre spawn haunts early this year. I like to start fishing the upper Northern part of the lake stating in early Feb. and continuing staying on that end through March. The water will always be a little warmer and that’s where they will start spawning first. Main lake and secondary points at mouths of the larger creeks are idea early staging places. On a little warmer trend move on into the creeks and fish larger wood on the sides of them. Also try spawning flats outside the creeks in the warmer afternoons. A lot of baits will work for these pre spawners. Jigs, suspended jerk baits, chatter baits, spinner baits, cranks and I like a c-rig with a creature bait. With the lake level on the rise this should be a good pre spawn and spawn this year.
Good Fishing!

Dec. 14 fishing report. Fork is -5.34 low and surface temps are ranging around 57 to 59 degrees. We're catching them on a drop shot using a V& M Pork Pin in 15' to 22' on main lake points. Also using a Zoom fluke in Watermelon red in same places. We're expecting colder weather in the next week. We will start throwing flipping jigs on timber around shallower creek channels in our arsenal also as temps get cooler.
