I fished Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Ok, tough then super tough. About 30 the first day with Mark Pack. 10 the second day but had to catch them on another pattern. 2 today. Both patterns fizzled and couldn't figure out a new way to catch them. Seemed most I talked to had similar dwindling results over the three days.

I always say you gotta have a short memory if you fish Fork a lot. Whether you caught them or not one thing will be certain the next trip will be totally different.

Go back when the fish move out from the shore. You do not have to idle through the timber very much and you are not trying to throw at the same banks everyone from Idaho to West Virginia are fishing. Fork lives on a lot from the past, but it still a good lake.

There are many great lakes in East Texas that are much easier to break down.

This! You gotta think outside the box.

Try the crappie and blues. They're biting great.

I been thinking outside of the box.. Like another lake outside of the box.

Yeah, it's easier to cast outside the box than being in in it

After our chat Sinkey on Friday it got much better, started out looking for post spawn fish in 12-21 foot, was marking lots of fish on some clean points with grass out to 10 foot. Not a single bite for 1-1/2 hours, I spent to much time out there trying to "will" the fish to be there. (you ever do that?)... Sinkey jumped my butt to get back shallow, so I did, but not down south where I was, moved down mid- lake near Wolf and Wood pecker, fished first break with timber in 3-8 foot -- bingo, the fish were close to the wood, especially near drains..

I would rather catch fish out deep, it's not there yet, so you have to be ready to change like I did, being versatile can help your success, I'm thick headed at times and pay for it in less bites..

Hard headed!

Plus they like woody woodpecker this time of year!

I can't figure them out on that lake. Went Friday and had no bites.

Fork can be finicky but when she's good she REAL good. I caught 9 slots Saturday in the back of a pocket on a black and blue finesse jig.

It was a good day indeed..
Welcome to the forum...

There should be a Fork support group, kind of like AA. We can all talk each other up.

I�ll be there the next two days, coming from the metro mess! Only my second time there hopefully we can figure it out!!
