Water level is at full pool and surface temps averaging 82 to 84 degrees. The bass are biting pretty good and I really like June herr. We been fishing offshore in 14' to 20' on main lake and secondary points mostly. But fish can be caught in different depths right now. With the surface temps in the lower 80s theirs still a shallow bite also. Drop shot and c- rig has been our best bite. Lot of good grass and the top water can be good on Cloudy days. Thus month will get better for a big fish also offshore.

Water level is at full pool and surface temps are 68 to 71 degrees. The bass are trying to finish spawning now but there are still some on beds. We have been fishing shallow. 2' to 5' has been the best bite. Weightless lightly weighted flukes and Senkos has been best. Shad spawn starting now also. Early morning bite on shallow main lake and secondary hard bottom points. Shallow Shad color cranks baits and swim baits are the ticket on these bass. I have good dates open coming up if you would like a guide. We have caught a few...

Lake level is -.27 low, and surface temps are 59 degrees in the morning to 65 in the afternoon. Fish have started spawning now in a lot of areas of the lake with a lot more bass on their way in. We're throwing tx. rigged Senkos 2' to 5' of water in the spawning areas and flats. Also light c-rigs with flukes. I'm booked the rest of March but have good April dates available. It's fishing good and going to get better.

Welcome to Lake Fork The lake is at full pool now A lot of bass were moving up shallow on the last good warming trend with surface temps reaching the upper 50s in the afternoon in certain areas. We have had frigid freezing temps this week though which have knocked temps way back down for a bit. They were biting orange or red square bills, lipless cranks and chatter baits in 3' to 5' on shallow flats outside of creeks and secondary points. We're getting a good warming trend all next week and the post spawn is about to get...

Welcome to Lake Fork The lake is at full pool now A lot of bass were moving up shallow on the last good warming trend with surface temps reaching the upper 50s in the afternoon in certain areas. We have had frigid freezing temps this week though which have knocked temps way back down for a bit. They were biting orange or red square bills, lipless cranks and chatter baits in 3' to 5' on shallow flats outside of creeks and secondary points. We're getting a good warming trend all next week and the post spawn is about to get real good all the way to the spawn and these fish are fat. Once they pull up shallow they don't move to far back out. Just fish a little further backoff the spawning flats in your nearby ditches and drains. Your Northern part of the lake will have a little warmer surface temps which a couple degrees can make a lot difference in the bite when its cold. Trips starting to book up so don't wait too long to get a preferred date for the post spawn and spawn.
