I will probably fish Monday since my son is off work that day. I was thinking of going to Fork, my son loves to go there. It may be crowded, but at least it will be other fisherman. Their usually a pretty good bunch!

Sounds like it's a pretty 'mixed' crowd electing to go fish or not.
With the warming weather am sure the 'Jet Ski' crowd will be out in numbers.
Well, if ya'll go, just watch for the high powered boat 'dummies' who give little or no thought to others let alone fishermen!
God Bless

My answer? I fly to Alaska tomorrow for 11 days. Halibut, salmon, pike, and Dolly Varden can be fun, too. No crowds. I hope you guys stay safe, catch some good ones, and watch out for the drunks.

Lee, the highs are forecast to be up into the high 60s and 70s while we're there. Even if it's cold, though, we'll enjoy it. I hope you hit the water somewhere and catch a new PB!

Back when I was fishing all of the time Memorial weekend was when I started my night fishing. Some of my favorite memories were of spending Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights on Fork fishing all night. Some of the most incredible trips ever and no crowds to deal with.

I usually stay home on the long weekends but this weekend I'll be on Ray Roberts and loving it.

If you go to LL or Hubbard be careful the nut cases have been out for a couple of weeks now

I will be visiting family this weekend in Sulphur Springs, so I might head to Fork or Cypress Springs. There are alot of lakes out there, I would rather go to the least crowded one and I know that won't be Fork but I don't know where I will go. Any suggestions?

frkazoid too funny.
Well, I remember back when had to work before retirement, that's when you go people/speed boats/skiers/jet skis and all....only time you had off to do those things.
Like the earlier poster, when was younger, remember family reunions and such, heat/crowds and all.
But, older now - Lord am I and I chose to fish through the week and almost never on the holidays.
Let the younger crowd have the lakes...
God Bless
