Video - Lake Fork Bass Fishing Report - Prespawn Jig Fishing Tips - How to Fish Jigs for Largemouth Bass




Hello Lake Fork Fans, bass fishing season has begun! Heavy largemouth are moving towards the back of shallow flats where they will soon be spawning. These fish are using creek channels and ditches as staging areas in 5-15 ft. Look for bass in the front half of creeks on the northern part of the lake as these areas will warm up the fastest. My favorite bait this time of year is a jig. Watch the below video report to learn more about the three bass jigs I am fishing right now. We have caught tons of chunky bass on this lure every year, especially in February. Stay confident when jig fishing and you will have a successful day on the water. Thanks for watching and as always please let me know what you think, feel free to contact me with any fishing questions. Good luck everyone, go get em!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 29)

GOOD. Water Stained; 43 degrees; 1.75 feet below pool. Bass are fair suspending jerk baits, spinner baits, and square bill crankbaits around creek channels in 5-10 feet. Offshore bass bite is fair with Alabama rigs, spoons and dropshots in 17-22 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been as up and down as the weather and wind. With surface temperatures in the low 40s some crappie seem to be in shock. If you can get a day with light winds it seems the bite is a little better. If the winds are howling you may want to get some work done around the house or work on tackling that day. Downsizing baits and lines are helping to get a few more bites. Small minnows, small hand ties and small soft plastics are the key until we see the bite pick back up. Hold those baits super still just above crappie and they will either bite or swim off. If they swim off it’s time to find fish that will bite. Don’t spend too much time on one set of fish once the active bitters are caught. We are seeing huge numbers of fish as we cover water. Timber and brush in 20-62ft are holding fish in the mid lake and south areas. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
