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.

Lake Fork is still fairly slow. Best bite is Texas rigs and Viper XP Jigs. Best colors are green, pumpkin, gold flake Raptor Craw and Sour grape, and PB&J on jigs . 2-6 ft on wood or lay downs are best if near ditches and creeks. Some fish in the very back of the pockets. Few fish are being caught on XD 5 crank baits on main lake points and secondary points in 8 ft. Shad pattern is good.

Had a great time on the lake. The weather was a little off but Capt. Joe knew all the right spots to go. We will definitely go again when the weather gets better.

We had an epic day on Lake Fork with Jay! He knows the lake like the back of his hand and had us throwing off points and dropoffs, and up and around structure where the big bass hang out. Jay doesn't miss a beat and had us dialed in all day. Felt like fishing with an old friend and can't wait to be back for more. - Jonathan with Captain Experiences

I had a fun early morning fishing trip with Joe! He knows the lake like the back of his hand so he took me to some of his best spots! The fish weren’t biting too much in a number of the spots but were were able to catch a handful in the end. He taught me about a number of jigs and baits used for this time of year the Bass are biting on, which was awesome to learn! Overall a great experience and definitely would recommend him to anyone looking to go catch some Bass and for a great fishing experience!

Even though the fish weren't biting, anytime I get to spend time with my kiddo is worth it. Brandon was an awesome guide. He took us to several spots, but Mother Nature just wasn't having it today, and it started storming. He was great company and an awesome guide. Even though he didn't have to, he offered to bring us back out, as a make good. We can't wait to get back out. We're ready to drag 'em in.
