Goin to the FORK this weekend and wanted to get a little insight, since I havent been there in a minute. Im takin the woman and want to put her on some fish so she has a good time. Cranks, plastics, and jigs is what Ive heard. Typical style for this time of year. Any extra info will be greatly appreciated, Ill be fishin around chaney point area. Much Obliged!

Sunday doesn't look like much of a fishing day. That stinks, because I was really thinking of going out. But it costs me about $60 in gas for the truck and boat and an hour each way and it isn't really worth it to battle it out with 15 other boats in each cove and catch 2-3 fish all day. Saturday might be good though (I can't go that day), depending on when the front comes through. Of course it's still fishing, you never know. I don't have any info outside of what you've already heard/seen on here. Good luck!

CHECK OUT THE GUIDE REPORTS, SEEMS LIKE THE JIG BITE IS KEY RIGHT NOW, FLIPPN STUMPS AND DROP OFFS ON CREEK CHANNELS IN 6-8 FT OF WATER

Ever try Mill Creek lake in Canton? There have been some hogs caught there over 15 lbs. late winter to early spring. Small lake small crowd.

never heard of it, any good?

Saturday on Fork might not be any good. There going to be lots of boats on the water Bass Champs will be there saturday.

How many entries does Champs pull. They are going out of LFM, looks like I can't launch there Saturday.

around 200-250 boats yeah going out of LFM

I may be the only one with these experiences, but looks like a front moving in Friday PM into Saturday AM. My experience is a feeding fremzy in the 1st 6 hrs of so right after the front. The lake is brutal with strong North / Northwest winds, but the fishing can be fantastic. I know most lakes are better right before a front, but Fork seems to be better right after.

400-500 guys throwing at every stump in every cove, I'd find someplace else this weekend.

Every cove going to be pack. I really dont think many people will be fishing open water saturday, because of the wind

just think, you won't need your boat. just walk gunwale to gunwale

I fished Fork yesterday with my girlfriend who is a novice. I had her throw a white spinnerbait w/ a tail dipped in garlic dipping dye and a stick bait. Those are the most productive baits for novice this time of year, the fish actually hooks themselves when they hit it. I used plastics and caught only 5, she caught one but it was 4 lbs.
I was shocked that the lake was prety empty yesterday, even though it was wed.

Right now there are a lot of bass moving in the back 1/2 of wind protected creeks on the north half of Lake Fork preparing to spawn. Flip a jig or texas rig to stumps along the creek in 5-10 foot of water. Also on windy days, cast a white chatterbait, spinnerbait, or red rattle trap around 2-5 foot of water using a medium to slow retrieve. In the next couple weeks the weightless worm bite should heat up really well. Hope this helps.
