Beat Fork to death Saturday, 4/9, didn't get a single hit. We mainly fished 6-10 feet with jigs, soft plastics, crankbaits, spinnerbaits...nothing. Moved out and hit some of the main points and creek channels (fighting the wind tooth and nail all the way) with c-rigs, drop shot rigs, and jigs on all sorts of timber and couldn't luck into one. Game wardens said no-one did very well. Is there something we missed?

We hit it Friday and it was S-L-O-W to say the least.

i was there saturday and sunday and fished the glade...started out with a jig but could not get hit so i tried a watermelon/blue flake weightless and started catching...nothing to brag about but still got some in the boat

It was tough for us last week in Longbranch and Pinson too. Don't know what to tell ya

me too

Fork = Most Overrated lake in the USA.......

Was out Saturday. Caught 3 in 8 hours of fishing. Rough day.

I was out Sat and Sun and caught one each day on a blue fleck power worm... Fished Wolf and little Mustang.


FACE DOWN IN CABO

Talked to a Fork guide buddy of mine a few days ago and he was shaking his head. Two of his guide buddies were also doing the same.

Fishing has been really off there for most people.

Saturday, 3 fish (should have been 4), pumpkin green trick worm 3-6 ft of water. No size, biggest was 3-9. Met a guide out there and he sd it was worse than slow. Another boat in the group had a 3, and had one on that he estimated at 9, but that was it.

'Course witht the wind, about half of the lake was pretty much unreachable/unfishable, unless you had like 8 power poles and pointed it into the wind.

I got spanked in a tourney Saturday. Only managed 2 slots, got em on a square bill running in the timber. Pretty slow day!!

We did ok, it was a tough bite though. Friday we had 10 and Saturday only fished for a few hours but had 3 and lost a couple others.

Not having much knowledge of the way the lake usually fishes this time of year might have helped us. We noticed lots of boats up in the ends of coves or beating the banks without much luck. I figured with the low water the fish might just hang on the creek channels where the surrounding flats get shallow enough to spawn which I figured is about 7ft. We just followed the channels in Little Caney and Dale throwing jigs and texas rigged plastics. Most of the fish related to wood in about 7ft on the bends. The creek channel was usually about 10 to 12 feet deep. It wasn't fast fishing but it was steady. We caught pre and post spawners and one that was almost spawned out making me think they might be spawning in a little deeper water.

Fished for about 4 hours on Saturday and the wind beat us to death. Managed to catch a few, but nothing over 4lbs. We did find this monster floating dead in Little Caney.

The fishing is a bit off but we are still managing 20-40 aday fishing 4-12 ft with drop shots. We spend a few hours aday looking at them looking for a giant! The key right now is finding groups of fish and following their movements day by day! I had a fellow TFF'er yesterday, chrismorrison and we boated 25 but lost and missed 15-20 more. Had a few bigg ones hang up during the fight too.. Give me a call or shoot me a pm if you want to come out and experience just how good Lake Fork really is!
