Quick Fork Report 5-16-2016

This is what was going on for me on Lake Fork yesterday after the Legend tournament. I have also posted a few older pictures, the first two are from my trip yesterday. In total we had about 20 fish all day with the morning being a lot better than the afternoon.

The water temp where I was fishing was 73-75 degrees and I stayed out on main lake all day. I starting out the morning in about 7' on a main lake point with a C-Rig using a 4 foot leader, 3/8 oz weight, #3 rigging hook with a fluke (Watermelon Seed/Slice) I was also throwing a Drop Shot with a 1/4 oz weight, 16 inch leader and a #1 rigging hook. (Tomato) Largest fish we picked up with it was about 4 pounds and we caught some good unders.

After that I focused on deep water 20 - 24 foot out on main lake points, humps and road beds. The best fish of the day were caught with a 6XD and 8XD. I was also throwing the C-Rig with a 1 oz weight, 6 foot leader, #3 rigging hook with a fluke (Watermelon Seed/Slice.)

I have folks wanting to go out for some sand bass about once a week and last week we caught 50 with 6 black bass in about 3 hours all on Storms and A-Rigs.

Hope this information can help

Thanks for sharing E!

Good work Eric.

Thanks for the report, heading there Thur and Fri

Thanks for the info Eric

Thanks all.

If you have any questions or looking for more info in these reports just let me know and I'll do my best to help out. Here are a couple more from today and from the evening yesterday. The 6XD & 8XD are catching the better fish.

Where on the main lake are you fishing? I am new to this lake so can you tell me what creek or part of the lake you are fishing? I have had little luck in Little Caney since spawn is over.

Might want to PM that question lol. Nice work E.

Solid post and solid fish. Good job.

We had around 25 yesterday with a lot of really good under fish and a 6.02 caught on a football head jig. This morning we caught about 15 on spooks and drop shots with the biggest so far at 5.31. It slowed down after 9:00 am. going back out to run an evening trip and we'll see what it does.

That under is a chunk!
