Weekly Lake Fork Fishing Report From Guide Jim Rea

[kentucky_bass_man]

Well, mother nature has once again stepped up and stalled the spawn for a while. The water was getting over 60 degrees. The stage was getting set for a bunch of fish to show up around the banks. There were some nice fish already on the beds and being caught. The blast will only last a couple of days. The water should start warming up as soon as the sun gets out. The water temp has dropped 5 degrees and more in other areas. I would start the mornings out a little deeper and fish very slowly. Primary and second dairy points would be a good starting area with Carolina and Texas rigs. Big crank baits would be another good choice in these same areas. Look on the outside of the deeper grass and flip jigs and the above mentioned baits. Wave Tiki sticks fished wacky and Texas rigged are good baits fished around the banks floating vegetation.
Lake Fork Tackle ring fries and twitch worms are another good choice in the above mention areas. It is hard to write a report this time of year as everything sounds just like last week. The crappie are moving into the 10 to 15 water on the out side of coves. This would be a good area to use minnows as jigs would get tangled in the wood. Start your search on the first row of trees in 10 to 15 foot. Drop the bait to the bottom and reel up slowly.
I still have some days open in March and April so give me a call and we can get a trip going.
