The bass are starting to spawn here at Lake Fork big time. For those of you that are looking for the opportunity to catch a bass of a lifetime, this is the time of year you can do it. There are a lot of Big bass up shallow right now just looking to be caught. Here are a few tips for catching these spawning bass. Key areas to fish right now are in the back of the creeks and points that are adjacent to spawning flats. Creek channels leading to these flats will produce good results also. Fish can be found in a number of creeks and pockets on the lake right now and can be found moving on the beds just about everywhere with this warm weather.
Water Conditions, Lake Fork is 4 foot low but in great shape, the water clarity is clear to slightly stained . The water temperature hit 68 degrees in the areas that I was fishing today. We have been catching the majority of our fish on weightless Trick Worms. A Trick Worm fished slowly over the flats where these bass are making beds is hard to beat. Best colors have been watermelon red, and green pumpkin, also a Texas rig or short Carolina rig with a Brush Hog or a Lizard.
Today was a great day to be on the lake the weather was in the eighties , and it looks like the rest of the week the weather is going to stay in the eighties. Yesterday Michael Chilton and his dad from Iowa fished with me and we put 38in the boat, today Bill South from Louisiana fished with me we put 33 in the boat with two over seven and one that went 8 lbs 9oz, most of these bass came on the Brush Hog and Trick Worm. With this warm weather the bass are making a mad rush to shallow water to spawn. Good areas to try right now are Big and Little Mustang, Williams, a lot of bass are moving in on beds in these creeks.
