Video - Lake Fork Bass Fishing Report - Top 3 Search Baits to Locate Shallow Water Bass Now




Hello fishing friends, as many lakes are warming into the mid 60's you can find both spawning and pre-spawn bass in shallow water. This is an excellent time to fish as many different lures and techniques work well. I like to target pre-spawn fish as they seem more willing to feed and are often very aggressive when first moving onto the flats. If you have spawning bass on the northern end of your home lake, look for pre-spawn fish to be on the southern part of the lake and towards the main lake in pockets that offer cleaner water. Check out my newest video to see which three lures I like to use to quickly cover water and locate these heavy pre-spawn fish. Feel free to contact me with any questions and good luck fishing!

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.
