The fishing here on lake fork this week has been good, the top water bite has been on!! for the first three to 4 hours of the morning. The best bait for me has been a shad colored Pop R. and a Zara Spook, Most of the bass we have caught in the last few days on top have been in 30 to35 feet of water. The bass are running the shad to the top early in the morning, after about 10:00, the top water action starts to slow down. Yesterday Bobby Higgins from Dallas fished with me and by 11:30 we had over 35 bass in the boat up to 5 pounds all on top water, the action was almost nonstop.
After the top water bite slows I have been changing to a Carolina Rig, the deep water pattern has worked best for me the rest of the day. At this time I am using a one ounce weight with a three foot leader line size 15 pound on a heavy action rod. A watermelon seed super fluke & a watermelon seed centipede have worked best for me on the Carolina Rig. Good places to try are the mouth of White Oak, Little Caney, and off the main point were the SRA office is down by the dam. There are still fish being caught in shallow water on Wacky Worms and Texas Rigs, but the deep water pattern has been the most consistent for me Right now.
