Lake Fork Fishing Report 10JUN07

I finally get a moment to sit down and write this short report. Lake Fork is at full pool, give or take a few inches day to day. The water clarity is clear, especially the further south you are fishing. Milfoil and Hydrilla is just about in every area of the lake now that I have fished. I have been finding the outside grass line in 10-13 ft. in most areas.

The bass fishing here on the lake has been great. 90% of my trips in the last 2 weeks have been at night. The bite was the greatest during the 10 days around the full moon earlier this month. As we loose moonlight the night bite has decreased. Many of my trips earlier this month would start out with topwater baits one hour before dark. We would often catch 20-30 fish during this time, mostly small fish. Then after dark we would head to main lake points, humps and flats with grasses, timber and an occasional man made brush pile to go hawg hunting. This is where the bigger fish were taking Reaction Innovations Big Unit in Black Emerald. I am using a 7/16 pegged bullet weight with a 5/0 long shank, offset Owner hook. I rig this on a 7ft. heavy action St. Croix or Falcon rod with 25-30 lb. test Sunline. Many hearts will be broken using any lighter line in the areas we are fishing! Most bites were coming on the outside grass line or in the brush piles. This night bite will pick back up during our next full moon period which is on 30JUN07.

The bite during the day has improved since the nights are darker. If they are not feeding at night, they must feed during the day. A Revenge jig in Blk/Blue/Purlple with an assortment of Sweet Beaver colors as a trailer has produced the largest bite. Pitching and Flipping the timber around the grass is key. We have also caught some nice fish on 4-9 inch swim baits in 10-45 ft. A drop shot Reaction Innovations (Flirt) will catch numbers all over the lake from 5-45 ft.

Give me a call for a trip here on Lake Fork . This makes a great gift for Fathers Day or any occasion. Let me be your Lake Fork Guide.
