Hit Fork today from 11:00 till about 5:00. All I can say is it was a good day. Finished up with 15 or so fish in the boat with 8 of them over 5lbs. Biggest was between 7-8lbs and is NOT the one I am in the picture with. Only had 2 unders on the day with the rest being fat slot fish. I caught 3 off of beds incuding the big fish. I caught it on a Jackall G90 Swimmin' Ninja swimbait in threadfin shad. I pitched some other baits up on her and she was not remotely interested. I threw the ninja in on her and she blew it up. All 3 bed fish came on it. Also had a chance to break in the Jackall Sasuteki Craw. I caught every other fish on it and it turns out to be a killer bait. The 4" green pumpkin was killer. The claws are very buoyant so they float up. Actually tried others with no luck and later in the day I was whacking fish with boats around me but they were not catching anything. One bait finally asked what I was using. It definitely made an impression on me and the other thing I liked is the fact i caught 4-5 fish on each one. They are durable too. I oncluded them in the pix so you can see their battle scars. Most fish came 2-6ft and once I figured out what they were holding on to stage it was easier to get bit. I saw lots of dinks on beds but I purposely went after the big fish today. I just had to fish slow and thorough and the bites came. Can't complain at all when my best 5 goes over 30lbs. Here are a few pix but bear with me as I was solo and did not get one with every fish.

Great day Mark!!

My first 4 bites were all over 5. I kept thinking I was gonna get a toad but it never came. I wish i would have had one more day out there this week. They are gonna eat tommorrow in my areas.

Awesome day...

Congrats, Mark!

Great fish

Mark, does the swimbait sink and sit nose down??? Congrats on a great day on the lake. Pretty cool to figure out a pattern like that.

When you stop it on a bed it sits nose down and stands up like its rooting through the nest. The tail will actually move quite a bit when you shake it as it sits on the bed. They can't stand it. It also has great action when used as a regular swimbait too.

nice!

Now that's a good day! congrats

Heck of a day man!

nice fish ...good report mark

Thanks for the report, Mark. My dad and I will be down there next week, so I'm watching you guys for some clues...
