Lake Fork Anglers Once Monthly Team Tourmament Results from 9/5/7




LFA fishes a team competition once a month. All of our tournaments, on the other Thursday during the month are draw. Members are always fishing with someone new thereby getting the opportunity to learn many techniques, baits, and places. We are are not capped and are always looking for new members to join our other 50+ mostly seniors.

On todays tournament a tremendous amount of fish were caught by the anglers with an outstanding winning weight. The team counts their best 10 fish caught between them. Of course all of the fish caught are measured on a Chek it Stik, recorded and then released. No fish are retained unless someone were to caught a SAL which has never happened.

While members catch a fair share of Lake Fork overs, that is fish over 24", most of the bass are of normal size. For us everything 10" and over counts. Some days a little bass is what saves your day.

This weeks winner, and I am going to list 6 places because of all of the great fish they caught is outstanding. Fork is on. The fish are really not quite schooling but they are definitely biting.

Gary Pardini and John Shinn came in first with 28.00 on 10 bass and Gary had the 24 3/8" lunker weighing on our chart at 8.97 LB.
Charlie Abresch and Charlie Arnold were 2nd with 19.23 on 10 bass anchored by Charlie Abresch 1 7.15 LB.
Mark Talley and Nick Tovar were 3rd with 17.67 on 10 bass anchored by Nick's 5.08 LB.
John Berech and Wallace Dyer were 4th with 17.25 on 10 bass anchored by Wallace's 4.62 LB.
Dennis Bubinas and Stijn Lens were 5th with 15.38 on 10 bass with no lunkers.
Don Overstreet and Gene Shoemaker were 6th with 13.02 on 10 bass with no lunkers.


LFA Members must fish 8 regular tournaments during the year in order to qualify for the Team Championship, and the Major League Fishing Championship.

Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 23)

GOOD. Water Stained; 63 degrees; 0.25 feet below pool. Bass fishing has been slow with some early morning catching near areas with the shad spawn using DieZel chatterbaits. Once bass move off the shore, switch to squarebill crankbaits in 3-5 feet, or Yum dingers and flukes around grass, and frogs in the grass. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Black bass are post spawn and the top water bite is on! Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation. The crappie are moving shallow, small clousers are producing well. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork is moving rapidly into the post spawn pattern. Fish are loading up on brush piles, ledges, underwater bridges, road beds, bridges and post spawn trees in 14-25 feet. The fish are hungry after the spawn and they will bite just about anything you out in front of them. We are having great luck with small hand tied jigs but minnows and soft plastics will also work for the next few months until water temps heat way up. Seeing a lot of small fish this year mixed in so some days you will catch and release a lot of short fish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
