Dec. 14 fishing report. Fork is -5.34 low and surface temps are ranging around 57 to 59 degrees. We're catching them on a drop shot using a V& M Pork Pin in 15' to 22' on main lake points. Also using a Zoom fluke in Watermelon red in same places. We're expecting colder weather in the next week. We will start throwing flipping jigs on timber around shallower creek channels in our arsenal also as temps get cooler.

Lake Fork is still fairly slow. Best bite is Texas rigs and Viper XP Jigs. Best colors are green, pumpkin, gold flake Raptor Craw and Sour grape, and PB&J on jigs . 2-6 ft on wood or lay downs are best if near ditches and creeks. Some fish in the very back of the pockets. Few fish are being caught on XD 5 crank baits on main lake points and secondary points in 8 ft. Shad pattern is good.

The fishing has been fire on the Trinity River. The Alligator Gar are welcoming the fresh water and have turned on. Several fish are being caught on each trip including some nice sized trophies.

    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.

    Brett got my daughter and I hooked up with fish to take home in less than an hour. Very accommodating and obviously very experienced on Lake Tawakoni. We had a great time, great memories for a daddy/daughter weekend!

    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.
