Our Lake Fork Dock Before & After Rain 😀

Check out our dock on Fork now!!!! I'm so excited!!! Already caught Cats,bass,perch, crappie off of it this week.
I also seen three black & Red snakes. The first pic was taken Nov 30, 2014 when lake was down over 7' now today's pic .. Yeah!! Water up to gate!!! Almost full pool .19.

***Now my question is if this was your dock what would you put under it to attract fish. I love Cats & Crappie but also want it to be good for the fishermans to catch the big Hawg. It's about 7' deep at end now.. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

You can never go wrong with a bunch of brush! That right there is an awesome sight. Haven't seen this much water in the lake ever I don't think

PVC is great and fisherman friendly for any species
Otherwise I'm a fan of hard wood cover as it doesn't dissapear or rot away like willows

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.

That is great!
Thanks for sharing, pvc brush pile in my opinion.

In addition to what you have already been told, a good option is Rocks/cinder blocks near middle/back piers.

Great looking dock there bud. Thanks for posting pics.

Cool pics. I was wanting
to see some before and after pics.

It would of been easier before the fill up but I would make a couple "rock piles" out of cinder blocks. There is timber all over the lake, rock would give them something a little different to relate to.

Great to see Fork come up so much . Last time i crossed it was about like the first picture a couple years ago .

Looks a lot better!

Thanks all, we already have a few Christmas Trees under dock, and will go get rock & Cinder blocks, I can also get PVC and hubby being pipe fitter can put together. The workers here at Little Mustang are always cutting up old docks & Trees and burn so will start getting a few pieces for dock. I will send more before & after pics, it truly is a wonderful site to see all the water.

Sure hope yall have GPS because you trees have disappeared 😧

Thanks

Wow that's awesome

Wow. Can't wait to see my pier. I would love to fish off of it finally lol. Black and red snakes?

The black and red snakes are mud snakes. Non-poisonous and harmless but I'm sure based on comments I've seen on snake threads that some great conservationists will say kill em all.

Just the ones that are moving.

A bedspring. Pull it out a few times a year and sell the crankbaits on ebay.

Lol aw don't be one of those. . .

The cinder blocks will almost always hold some baitfish. They're real porous and they'll start growing algae and moss almost immediately. You won't snag them much and when you do, you can usually get unhooked. Just don't overdo it. If you make piles, make them small. It's been my experience that they work best if you have one or two small piles around the dock and then scatter quite a few just randomly around. The piles will call in baitfish and the scattered ones are great ambush spots for bigger fish.

Thank You so much !!!! Yes that is the snakes I keep seeing. Three so far went under my dock swimming to bank. I tried to take pic but they go under water. Really a beautiful color snake. I want kill it 😀

Not a bad ideal but I'm a tourney fishing woman and would not do that to my peers. Plus the Sabine River Authority will not allow in Lake fork.

Thanks Timwins31, I will definitely be putting cinder blocks. Thanks for the knowledge of smaller size piles.

We are also putting Green lights under dock & green flood lights on outside of dock.

Willows tied together and sunk in a concrete bucket on the front middle.

Thanks Forkduc I will do!!!! We caught 40 sandbAss tonight off our dock. Steaks on the grill. Was a fun night !

if your planning on fishing at night you might consider some underwater lights. It will attract large fish and mucho bait.

Bruce, we are fishing a lot at night. Hubby is going to put green lights under dock. Our dock will only have green lights on it.

Action from yesterday evening was great on dock, sand bass stayed around dock for almost 4 hours, still catching them at 10pm chasing shad.
