Lipless Crank and Spinner Baits In Staging Areas by Jim Reaneau (2/15/2007)
[Lake Fork,TX] Fishing staging areas with lipless crank and spinner baits. Well, this week was a tough one for the fisherman. The air temps and strong winds have kept even the most avid fisherman on the trailer. The water temp has still held at the 44 to 49 degree mark. The fish are moving to the staging areas. This will be the pattern till the spawn starts. The fish will pull up on points and secondary points and as the water starts to move into the 50's they will scatter out over the flats and backs of the coves.

Recent Cold Snap On Lake Fork by Jim Reaneau (2/09/2007)
[Lake Fork,TX] Well, the warm weather we had earlier in the week was just GREAT. But the recent cold snap has brought us back to reality. The water temp has been around 43 to 46. It is according to where you are at the time. The North end and major creeks are still muddy to off color. For some reason the past week the Sabine opened a gate and let water out for a couple of days. We are now 2 foot low.

[Toldeo Bend,TX] The fishing is starting to bust wide open.
