Quick Fork Report 1-7-2016

Hope y'all are enjoying the New Year!

Been fishing with my buddy Josh the last couple of days for about 4 hours each day and wanted to put up a quick report. Water temps are 50-51 in the backs of the creeks, and midway back has been about 52, with main lake temps running 55-56 degrees.

Yesterday we had 15 on Carolina Rigs/Drop Shots, fishing on main lake points in 24'. Today we had 7 fish but we just went deep for an hour or so and the rest of the time we were fishing shallow flipping a jig in about 8'-12' midway back in the creeks.

We fished a fluke on the C-Rigs (California 420) with a 1 oz weight and a 5' leader and a #3 rigging hook. On the D-Shot we were using a #1 rigging hook, a 16'' leader, and a 1/4 oz to a 3/8 oz weight. The best bait for us on the D-Shot was a 4" finesse worm in (tomato) & (candy bug). The jigs were Santone 3/8 flipping jig (Black/Blue) with a Zoom speed craw as the trailer.

Here are a couple of photos from the last couple of days. We did not catch any really big fish, but we did catch a couple of good ones and a few good unders.

Hope this helps y'all coming out to fish. Thanks, E

thanks for the update hoping to get there soon

Excellent report Mr. Wright. Thanks for sharing.

Solid post. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the report...

Thanks for the report.

So you did get a couple of fish on the jig? I love a good jig bite when it is on...

Thanks for the report! Wish more shared basic information! Heck you even provide the colors and baits being used!

jig bite should be good to march - we didn't get a lot but we did manage a few.
