Lake Fork is only .31.low which is very good in early to mid Aug. Surface is I. High end 80s. We're fish mostly offshore in 18' to 24-. 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.

Welcome go Lake Fork. Surface is 59 to 63 degrees and lake level is -2.28 low. We're mostly fishing in the mouths of creeks in 14' to 18' with a drop shot and c-rig. 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.

Lake Fork is fishing fair with top waters early around grass on yellow magics and frogs . Carolina rigs and Texas rigs best in 12 - 20 ft around points with 10 inch blue fleck worms . Deep crank baits good on the deeper points over 20-25 ft with DD -22 in Shad patterns .

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!!

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...

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!

    Trip: Lake Ray Hubbard Bass

  • ★★★★★
    The kids and I had a blast! Chris was really great at teaching all of us what to do and what to look for. He was also great at easing my kids into it and making them feel comfortable. They couldn't stop talking about it and they all want to do it again. It was a really great experience! We caught plenty of fish!

    He was great guide. There was a problem in the beginning because he didn’t have us scheduled on his calendar. Your company never pass the word to him to pit us on the calendar. I called him and he was grateful to come and take us out. You need better communication with your guides. Other than that he was great.

    Never used a guide before, but Eddy was everything we expected. We were taught technics as well as best bait for the circumstances. You don’t learn effective fishing methods overnight so we will definitely hire Eddy again for our ongoing fishing adventures. Thanx again to Eddy.
