While fishing in the Lake Fork Anglers tournament on 10/5 Gene caught this beauty on a drop shop. The fish measured 24 1/2" and on our chart showed as a 9.12 lb but when weighed was actually over 10. Our charts used as average weight.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 5)

GOOD. Water Stained; 60 degrees; 0.20 feet below pool. Water level is about 4 inches low with temperatures 56-65 degrees. Bass have made a big move to the shallows with some on beds in 1-3 feet. Flukes and senkos are good in these areas. Chatterbaits and small swimbaits are good in the backs of the pockets and shallow flats with grass. Look for some main lake points to start producing with squarebill crankbaits and Carolina rigs in 3-5 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Catching small bass shallow with bait fish streamers. Larger females will become more active as warm days continue around structure and brush. The crappie should be moving shallow and Wooly buggers can be a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The Lake Fork crappie bite is really good, if you can stand the cold weather and beat the winds. Patterns are changing daily due to the inconsistent weather patterns. Some days fish will stack up on bridges and the next they will disappear. Timber in 14-34 feet seems to be the most consistent pattern. If you find a crappie and hold an artificial bait above it still enough most fish are crushing that bait. Use smaller profile jigs in deeper water mid lake, or on bridges. On the north end in shallower and muddier water use longer and bigger profile jigs. Try to fish lighter, more neutral colors in deeper water and darker colors in shallower water. Soft plastics and minnows will still get you bit as well. We should see the fish push shallower and shallower over the next few weeks with warmer temps in the forecast after the next week. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
