It used to be fun out there, now it's work LOL.. I hate that, must be getting lazy.. Hard to be spot on what's happening, lots of mini bass every where.. Maybe a down cycle, she'll get better over time with a steady lake level and grass.. I know from 2006-2010 we fished 2 trails on Fork, it was nothing for us to catch 40-50 bass a day in some of those events.. It was amazing, and a lot of fun.. now, not so much, having a great time with the crappie...

One of the biggest misconceptions in Texas fishing is that Lake Fork is a great bass fishing lake. For most anglers, it is a very tough lake. The problem is that guides come on here and post the great trip they just had (which is only 10-20% of their total trips) and everyone thinks thats the norm for Fork. This leads to dad, brothers, uncles, and friends loading up their friends and family in the boat telling stories about state records, sharelunkers, sight fishing for giants, as they head onto the lake. At the end of the day, they got a few bites, maybe landed a few fish, burned up gas and lost a bunch of baits. Meanwhile, some other family caught 20 bass and 50 sandbass on Lewisville, Grapevine, Ray Hubbard, or a variety of other lakes.

I love seeing friends and families fishing but the vast majority of people I see on Fork are struggling on any given weekend. I'm out there every week and usually want to tell them to head to any other lake! Bass fishing Fork is for the hardcore fisherman, the really good fisherman, or the fisherman that enjoy a good struggle.
