Lake Fork Fishing Report

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.

Lake Fork Fishing Reports- January 2023

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!

Lake Fork Fishing Reports

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!

Lake Fork Bass Fishing Report

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.

Spring Fishing On Lake Fork in Alba, Tx

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!

Welcome To Lake Fork

Lake level is - 6.16 low and surface temps are 48 to 51 degrees. I wasn’t on the water too much in January because it's just a slow month here. It’s also a transition month for the bass. They are now moving back into the creeks to start their pre-spawn ritual. February is a good Winter month to catch a big one here. We don't a lot of numbers of bass but they are good quality because they are full of eggs and heaviest. With cold water temps right now, a jig fishing on the edges of creek channels flipped beside the stumps is hard to beat! I like a 3/8 and 1/2 oz. in black and blue and green pumpkin color. A Strike King Rage Craw in black and blue is a great trail for the jig. I typically fish the creek channels in 6' to 12' of water this month. I also like throwing a suspended jerk bait in this cold water. The Mega Bass Vision 110 is my favorite. The Elegy color works well here. Also in the afternoons when the water warms some I like throwing this bait shallower 2 'to 5' on the flats outside the creeks and also in the ditches and drains. I don't like throwing soft plastics until surface temps hit 55 to 57 degrees. Its all about the night temps determining the surface temps in the daytime on the shorter winter daylight hours. I will give another detailed report as we get into March. I have good days available so book your March and April trips soon! With the low water level it's going to be a great pre-spawn and spawn here. I would love to earn your business!
