The black bass are in all 3 stages : pre-spawn, Spawn, and post-spawn. The bite is aggressive and fight is fierce. I'm catching fish on streamers and top water. Another Lake Fork Beauty! The fishing is super for black bass and crappie. The crappie are in the shallows and hitting

Welcome to Lake Fork. Water level is - 2.97 below full pool and surface temps are 61 to 65 degrees. It has been a very mild Winter and we have bass in all different depths right now. There are a few fish already getting on beds mostly on Northern end. Best bite has been in 3' to 8'. Secondary points, shallower creek channels and midway to back of pockets p producing. Senkos, shaky heads jerk baits and chicken rig with creature baits working pretty good. It's about to bust loose soon here on the goat lake. There was a 13.68 Share Lunker caught here Sat. Would love to earn your business. It's going be a great Spring!

Here's the 13.68 that was weighed in Sat. Feb. 28th

Lake Fork
Clear water. Black bass are moving up and down as the weather permits. Secondary points are producing where emergent grass is present. Try streamers in red and white fished 1 to 6 feet deep. Female Black Bass are in pre-spawn in 10’ water, slow retrieved streamers might draw a strike. Crappie are being caught in 1 ft of water in the backs of creeks; try a small, clear clouser.
Lake Bob Sandlin
Black bass are beginning pre-spawn, small males will be active in the backs of coves and creeks near emergent grasses and shallow brush. Larger females will be suspended near secondary points and boat docks, preparing to move shallow. Try using a suspending pattern and fishing slowly and deliberately. Crappie should be moving shallow as the weather stabilizes and warms. A small, clear/white/silver bead in a size 6 to 8 should work well.

Welcome to Lake Fork. Surface temps are 41 to 43 degrees and lake level is -3.06 below full pool. We've had a some over cood temps with snow and ice for the last week. Temps are finally going to go up from here. Warming trend will help the bass start doing to their pre spawn haunts. The middle of Feb. will pre swan bite will be under way. Traps, cranks,chatter baits suspending jerk baits and jigs will be the best bite. Numbers not very good in the colder water but better size will be there. You could catch your personal best. I've had a lot of big fish caught out of my boat. Book your trips for the pre spawn and spawn soon.

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.
