Lake level is- 2.17 low and surface temp is 71 to 74 degrees. The fishing is good for numbers and a few big ones being caught. 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

Throwing a drop shot with V&M Straight Wild and 5/8 or 3/4 oz. shaky head with a 10/2" J-Mag worm. Only doing 4 or 6 hr with all this heat. But fishing is pretty good.

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.
