Fishing Report
Lake Fork:
Day Report: Deep water and grass. Those are the two keys to catching the fish of your dreams. The fishing here at Lake Fork has never been better. In the last two weeks my clients have caught so many Bass over seven pounds, its truly amazing. I literally have so many photos of 7, 8 and 9 pound fish that I cannot even keep them organized. We have caught these fish on numerous baits but nothing has worked better than a Revenge Jig and a Reaction Innovations Big Unit. When I fish these two baits I like to start on the drop off adjacent to a hump, ledge, point etc. Sometimes the fish are on top of the drop and sometimes they are positioned on the bottom of it. I like to find an area that drops a minimum of 12 20 ft but 12 30ft. is not uncommon. Yesterday my clients caught almost 40 lbs of fish on one drop using a 1 ounce Revenge jig, in less than 30 minutes. While using this heavy jig we use a Custom Angle Moby Bass rod 7 Heavy, made right here at Lake Fork. I spool up with two different lines that both work equally well, either Power Pro braid in 65 lb test or Seagaur fluorocarbon in 25 lb test. When the 7 11 lb fish hit, you want the extra insurance of these fine lines to get your lunker to the boat.
Most of us have heard the term Run and Gun. This is when an angler pulls up on a spot and fishes it for a short time looking for a quick bite or two if no success quickly leaving to the next spot in search for the same result. This is how I approach deep water fishing. I look at it like this, they are either biting here or they arent. If an angler pulls up on a spot and the big fish are there and biting, you will know it in a short amount of time. There is no reason to hole sit this time of year.
I get asked quite often, What bait do you use to search for big fish this time of year? The answer is simple, a deep diving crankbait like a Sebile Koolie Minnow. This bait is great on open water points like SRA. If I am searching for a school of these big fish while in the timber (Main lake points at the mouth of Mustang Creek / Mouth of Dale Creek) I will use a Texas rigged Big Unit and fish it on a heavy weight so I can move it quickly.
Now, if just catching a boat load of 1 5 lb fish is what you want to do here is whats working now. Rig up a drop shot rig with 20 lb. Power Pro and fish the edge of hydrilla / milfoil mats. I like to use a Reaction Innovations Flirt 6.95. This works best early and late in the day and can also be used in deeper water.
Folks the night fishing is great this time of year. I usually dont promise anything on any of my trips, but night fishing here on Lake Fork is usually a sure bet. Remember that I have over 20 + years of night fishing experience and safety is my number one concern. The air temps usually fall into the mid 70s so this makes summer time night fishing very enjoyable.
Tips:
This time of year we must protect ourselves from the sun. Wearing hats and sunblock are a must. Another must is to take care of our eyes. Many anglers are making the mistake of thinking that the only time they need quality polarized glasses is during the spring while sight fishing. This is a huge mistake and the sun will permanently damage our eyes. I use Costa Del Mar sunglasses year around and have for many years. Costa Del Mar sunglasses are made for fishing and have protected me perfectly.
Hydration this time of year is also important; remember to bring plenty of ice and water on the boat so dehydration, heat exhaustion or heat stroke doesnt ruin your day.
Good Luck fishing and feel free to call me anytime with any questions.
