Customer Comments

"Thanks for the great fishing trip last week! I?ve fished Lake Fork over 10 times with guides over the past few years and that was hands down the best trip that I?ve had. 25 quality fish in 100+ degree heat is pretty impressive! Your knowledge of the lake and use of different techniques blew my mind."

"I just wanted to thank you for an incredible day at Fork! My customer and I both had a trip we'll never forget! I honestly didn't expect much with the heat, but you put us on some great fish! I've taken customers on several guided trips and I've been disappointed more times than not; this having little to do with the fish we catch. Most guides, like yourself, prefer you to use their tackle and boat. The boat is normally too small for 3 people to fish comfortably, and then you're stuck with old rod and reels and old line. When I pulled up to the launch and saw your new Skeeter ZX225, your pro gear, and your tackle collection? I knew I picked the right guide! "

"Hey man, I just wanted to say THANK YOU. My son has shown the picture of his 8lber to EVERYONE. Alot of people have said they have fished their whole lifes and never boated a fish that big and he caught it on his first trip to Lake Fork. You have a gift for teaching and a great way with kids. That fish made his whole summer. We cant wait to get back. "

"My wife and I wanted to thank you for a great trip and your hard work. Tina has never really enjoyed fishing, probally because I dont have the patients to help her. She had the best fishing trip she'd ever had last week with you on Fork. Thanks for making her day special. I didnt even care if I caught a single fish, I just wanted her to have a good time. She has gone with me a few times now. That was an incredible day, and I learned a ton."

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 5)

GOOD. Water Stained; 49 degrees; 0.40 feet below pool. Alabama rigs are good offshore around road beds and jumps and long points in 18-23 feet. Still a few shallow fish in 3-5 feet around channels and ditches with chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits. Viper XP jigs and Texas rigs fair on big wood near channels in 5-10 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Rising water and warm sunny days will kick off the pre-spawn bite for larger male bass in 5-8 feet of water. Focus on creek bends and drop-offs with flooded trees. Slow-retrieved fish patterns on rocky banks on sunny days might be a good plan. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The Lake Fork crappie bite is improving daily after the huge cold snap and loads of water the lake received the last few weeks. The fish are still very scattered and you will need to cover water to find fish. If you can get a fish to sit still long enough to get a bait over it that fish should bite. Fish seem to be very hungry and we can see fish busting schools of shad apart many times while fishing with LiveScope. Baits do not seem to matter tremendously right now, but artificial baits may be out fishing live bait just because it sits still in the water. The most important thing is to not move your bait. Maybe the shad they are eating are barely moving due to cold water temperatures. Fish can be found all over the lake in water deeper than 20 feet. Have not seen any fish shallower than 20 feet yet but with the warm forecast for the rest of February that may change soon. You can find fish on timber, brush, bridges and roaming in open water chasing shad or just migrating. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
