If one was to get in just about 5 hours of bass fishing on Lake Fork on one fine day in May, what area of the lake would you anglers suggest one concentrate on and with what three baits?

first off.fish your best or fav tech.,on fork you can catch fish deep or shallow pretty much year round.so the question is do you want to get bit or do you want the big bite.if i only had a few hours i would fish the west arm maybe start in the mustang area.....rick

thanks Rick

geeez guys, no other anglers fish Fork or you just think you might be giving away secrets??

I would be hard to pick a bad cove/creek at this point. It's probably just a matter of figuring out which part to fish.
I am going tomorrow. I will be fishing secondary points with grass/timber and some points leading into spawning areas.

Keep an eye out for the guide reports that will be posted before you go. They give a great run down on how they are catching their fish.

I would fish just about any of the coves in Birch.

Here are the lake fork guide reports for the past several weeks.

Nathan knows what he talking about. See you up in Birch.

On Sunday I did pretty good in Williams. Which is west near Mustang. Slow rolled t-rigged lizard worked for me.

Ok, thanks to all for the information, I never thought about the Guide reports.

Fished the last 5 out of 6 weekends, all over the lake and caught numbers in Big Mustang. Bigger fish came from Glade.
Not many bites in Birch and I like Birch!!
I would fish from Big Mustang to Williams. Good Luck!!!
