Mark you must have been fishing further north. I’ve been on the lake everyday this month and this week has looked like the Sealy tournament mid lake and further south. 75% of the boats are fishing 30% of the lake. The golf course has been packed too. Everyone had the same idea to “escape” the virus.
Clearer water makes people more confident I guess. All those fish up north have way less pressure since the rains stained most of then lake.
Fish are biting. Tons of people from the city and Louisiana are here. Be careful at the gas pumps and stores. The virus is here for sure, just nobody has tested positive yet. No, i was midlake.......sitting here having a late breakfast with my wife looking out at Little Mustang there is only 1 boat in here and its at the mouth. About to make it 2 boats.

Today was pretty good as well....stayed midlake again. Found some bigger fish today including this spawned out over that went right at 8lbs. Crowds were not bad at all. The bite is super light and you gotta swing on them as soon as you think one bit but all in all its been a good 2 days. Hope tommorrow is just as good.

Today was great again on numbers. So many 3lbers up dirt deep right now its crazy. When you get a bite or two slow down and pick those areas apart. They are stacked in some pockets. Still fishing midlake.
AlI l am going is targeting isolated clumps of saw grass on the inside of points and along the shoreline in any little pocket or cove. They are using it to spawn next too. Just pitching a Texas rig black/blue craw and letting it sit for a couple of seconds before I hit it again. A lot of the bites I do not feel, I just see my line move off. You gotta set the hook fast as well.
Nothing fancy, just covering water and being as thorough as I can.

Bad pain night keeping me up at 2:20 AM, but I'll still be out at sunrise. Fish a couple of hours, get a nap at the camper and hope it's not too crowded after that or I'll just go home. Weekdays are so much better out here.

I fished with a bud Fri from 10 am til 6 pm. We had 15 fish. Two 4's and one 5.5. Lost one that was 8-9 that got wrapped up in a bush and got off. I am rusty. All were shallow. Kind of restored my faith in Fork.

Me & my buddy went back out yesterday (Sun) and got 22 more doing the same stuff we were doing on Fri. Average size was smaller Sun. Biggest fish was 5#. Most importantly we were practicing Social Distancing while on the lake. Every time a boat would get near us my partner would start coughing real loud.
