Lake Fork Fishing Reports

Aubrey with a Lake Fork toad' today. She had one larger then this one jump off earlier. Congrats!

Welcome to Lake Fork. Lake level is -2.20 and surface temps are starting at 59 and going to 64 in the afternoon where we've been. Like I said in my earlier report last month the spawn would start early this year with the warmer temps. They have started bedding and a lot of them coming shallow now. We're fishing pre spawn and spawning fish. The best bite has been 2' to 5' for us. Secondary points, spawning pockets, flats, drains and ditches are what we're targeting. A lot of fish will also spawn in the newly flooded weed areas in the back of coves.Weightless stick baits and very small weighted tx, rigs are working best in these areas. Also chatter baits and swim jigs with white trailers working with a little wind. I'ts about to really take off out there after a very hard bite we had this Winter. If you need a guide please call or text me @ 972 979 4850 . You can also book online or get more info bassfishingwitheddie.com March is almost most pretty much booked but I have good April dates available. As always thanks for reading my report. Good Fishing!

Tim Graves fished solo with me on Fork today. We had several but this was the best one. Bite was hard and you really had to fish slow. We had a good time. But its about to get good with the warmer water temps..

With all the much needed rain in the last few days, Lake Fork is now only - 2.45 low! Trips are starting to book up for the pre spawn and spawn seasons, and we are expecting some great fishing conditions over the coming months! Book your preferred date soon, It's going to be a great 2023 Spring bass fishing season!

Welcome to Lake Fork Water level is -4.38 and surface temp is lower 50s. This is the best water level we've had since early last Winter. We had a pretty severe cold front here last week then some much needed rain. The ground was already saturated so most of it was runoff into the lake. Looking at the extended future forecast it looks fairly mild heading toward Spring. These big females will start heading toward their pre spawn haunts early this year. I like to start fishing the upper Northern part of the lake stating in early Feb. and continuing staying on that end through March. The water will always be a little warmer and that's where they will start spawning first. Main lake and secondary points at mouths of the larger creeks are idea early staging places. On a little warmer trend move on into the creeks and fish larger wood on the sides of them. Also try spawning flats outside the creeks in the warmer afternoons. A lot of baits will work for these pre spawners. Jigs, suspended jerk baits, chatter baits, spinner baits, cranks and I like a c-rig with a creature bait. With the lake level on the rise this should be a good pre spawn and spawn this year. If you need a guide please feel free to call or text me. 972 979 4850.

Welcome to Lake Fork Lake level is- 5.17 and surface temps are in the low 50s, Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I'm really looking forward to the 2023 new fishing year.! January is typically a transition month before the February pre spawn approaches. Numbers are normally pretty low but quality will be good. This month the fish will be in transition and grouped up fish can be hard to locate sometimes but Fork can be rewarding if you find them set up right. You could also catch a giant at this time. Posting this to let everyone know I'm also now accepting dates for February pre spawn and March and April spawn. Not many anglers on the water right now but it will change drastically as Feb. approaches. With the future forecast showing a milder Winter ahead the pre spawn and spawn could be earlier this year. Lake Fork has some great guides here to choose from. I would love the opportunity to earn your business.. Thanks again and looking forward to fishing with you! Tight lines!

Welcome to Lake Fork Lake level is - 6.12 and surface temps are in the lower to mid 80s. Lake continues to drop after lack of rain lately. It's now the beginning of Fall and the extended forecast will be in the mid 80s starting this coning week and will continue to be cooler which will be enjoyable fishing. I'm excited to start being on the water on a full time basis. Sept. was a very slow month for trips as it normally is. The lake is also tuning over in several places which is also normal this time of year. When this occurs the shallower bite is always best When using plastics the darker colors are the best ticket. Fall is always fun because the bass start moving and will start feeding up on shad for the Winter months coning. You can also start fishing a lot of different techniques and baits this time of year.. On my next report I'll give more detail on the plastic colors and techniques we're doing out there once I'm on the water on a daily basis. Barkley tournament is also coming Oct. 51 and 16 if someone wants a pre fish trip for that event . Good fishing!

The water is hot and a little colored up here on lake fork. The Bass fishing has remained really good, we are catching lake fork largemouth bass in pretty good numbers and size. Drop shotting has been effective and shad patterns also continue to produce good sized fish.

Lee and Dane from Louisiana fished with me yesterday here on Lake Fork. We caught some nice fish and they had a great time learning the deep drop shot. Then Lee and Dane went back out later in the evening and Lee caught this 11.55 over the slot 26" GIANT Largemouth Bass. Congrats!

Larry and Alaia Echanova with me this Fathers day morning on Fork. Larry has a PIG on a drop shot. Congrats! Update - here are a couple more of the good ones that had. Happy Father's Day everyone!

Water level is -5.70 and surface temps or 83 to 85 degrees The bass fishing has been pretty good. We'er catching fish in different depths right now. Early in the morning there is a top water bite especially if there is cloud cover but it's not lasting long. Offshore fishing will pick up this month!

Surface temps are starting about 57 and we're seeing some 60 degree water later in the afternoon. Lake level is -6.38. It hasn't been one the better March months I've seen here so far. We've had cold front after cold front come in here, and most of them fronts have had horrific north winds. But now midway through the month we are seeing more bucks and a few females pulling up very shallow. With more consistent warmer nights and days I think the spawn will begin in the next few days. I think some of the early large females have started spawning in the larger trees a little bit deeper. we should see a large wave pull up shortly. April should be a great month fish spawning all over the lake. We're mostly fishing plastics in 2' to 5" of water in spawning areas. Tx. rig and wacky has been our go-to techniques. On the real windy days chatter baits and square bills have proven successful. I will give more details on colors in my next report as now they vary. I have some April dates available if your looking for a guide. The attached image is from a recent charter with some new Bass anglers- We had a great day on the water and caught this nice slugger! Tight lines and good fishing!
