We all look forward to the end of February/early March, when we have visions of warming air and water temperatures and big fish moving up or maybe even visible on beds. Then when it gets here reality slaps us in the face. Cold fronts every couple of days, heavy rains, high winds, muddy water. I think I remember going out on the lake on a warm, calm day after several days of stable weather...back in about 2002. Or was that actually back in the 90s?

I'd rather see it fill back up while the water is 47 degrees than when the spawn is happening.

The gates are now open at Fork! Nothing like fishing when the gates are open...

Drove over coffee and running creek and they are blown out bad. Coffee looks like chocolate milk...bad. Probably a week or so to calm down in that area.
I'll try to check some other areas tomorrow.

Crazy, They're gonna be eating somewhere. Its also crazy to me how y'all find em. I sometimes wonder if some people truly know where to go and what to do or if just stumbling upon a honey hole, for example Jordan Lee at Conroe.. If his motor ran, Id bet money he wouldn't have stayed there all that time.. Not saying he just stumbled on the win but I don't think he knew the winning bag was there and to stay there would win. It would be cool to know AFTER the tournament what y'all thought before and if it was accurate or close or far off the conditions of the fish.. Anyhow good luck to y'all, I wish I knew the lake, Id try it out and try to pick an area and stay and get lucky. Im gonna try a big bass event there one day, one day..

I would rather try to catch fish in my bath tub than at Fork when the gates are open!!
As much rain as they have received I don't expect them to shut the gates down until next week. Fishing the dirty water is one thing--fishing dirty water with gates open is useless.

He jacked 4 for 21lbs on day 2 in that same spot at the end of the day. He might not have stayed there all day with a blown motor on day 3 but I bet he would have spent considerable time there either way.
