Fork : shallow bite is pretty good early to mid morning. Around grass and smaller points in 2-4 ft . Some top waters and flukes are good . Shaky heads and minus 1 type crank baits working . Carolina and Texas rigs good on points and humps in 10-14 ft nearest drop off . Smaller baits catching more but big worms catching bigger ones . Crank baits such as DD 22,XD 5,XD 6 still ok but slowed down a bit during the full moon . Best places are long points and over or around road beds . 15-20 ft .

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.

The Trophy Blues are Def still bitting! While all the bait fish are moving shallow to spawn right now is the perfect time to target Blues in shallow water as they move in to the shallows. Book a trip and let's go chase GIANT BLUES!!
