The fishing here on Lake Fork has been great the last few weeks. There seem to be fish in all depths from 6 inches of water out to 20 feet. The shallow water bite has been excellent early in the morning throwing a Stanley Ribbit weightless over the top of scattered grass and pads. The Frog bite has been very aggressive, and when you get bit you will definitely know they are killing it, best color on the frog Black, Watermelon, and White.
Once you feel like you have caught the active fish in the area try backing up to 5 to 10 feet and work a Carolina Rig, right now the best bait for me has been a Watermelon Candy Brush Hog, we have been catching some big post spawn bass on this pattern. Today Kevin Jackson and Bernie Parker fished with me and had a great day we boated 35 bass and Kevin had one that went 8 lb 3oz and Bernie had one that went 7 lb 12oz most of these bass came on the Carolina Rig.
May is a great month to fish Lake Fork it is our best top water time, and it can last all day. My best top water baits right now are a Stanley Ribbit, a 1/8 oz Buzz Bait, and a Pop R. Good places to try right now are Little Caney, Wolfe, Big and Little Mustang, All I can say is the spring fishing hear on Lake Fork this year has been the best I have seen in years, and I think May and June are going to be great, I look forward to this time of year the weather is nice and the bigger Bass will be moving out deep and will be feeding up and are easy to catch.
Lake Fork is full and in great shape, and the bass are biting.
