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!

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...

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.

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!!

    Eddie, enjoyed fishing, the boat was great, we knew the fishing might be tough, our guide tried hard to put us on fish but they weren't bitting, would love to come back in the early spring when the water temperature is not 88F, very good guide as far as technique and he went the extra mile for us even though things were tough. Would recommend Eddie to anybody that wants a chance at a lunker. Wiil hopefully come back in the spring to try again. Thanks again!!!!

    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!
