Hello from Lake Fork. This past week the fishing has been good on suspending rogues. Black back, gold sides, orange belly has been the best color for me. Water depth five to ten feet of water. The best places to look for is at the mouths of the major creeks. Mustang, White Oak, Birch and Pinson have been good this week. Today we put 15 bass in the boat and one that weighed 10 pounds 5oz all on the suspending rogue. The key right now is to jerk this bait down and as it is suspending, slowly twitch your line. Most of the bass right now are taking the bait and moving off with it. The suspending rogue here on Lake Fork is a great bait to catch Big pre-spawn bass this time of year.
Right now I am using 15lb test line and a high speed reel on a medium action Lake Fork Pro Series Cranking Rod. Also we are catching some fish on a wacky worm. The best colors for me have been watermelon red and green pumpkin. The weather has been up and down and we have had some pretty nasty days. Don't let the nasty weather keep you off the lake. I have caught some of my biggest bass this time of the year in some of the worst weather. Now is the time to be at Lake Fork. The bass are moving to the shallows to spawn and your chances of catching a trophy bass are better right now than any other time of the year.

UNTIL NEXT WEEK GOOD FISHING,
