5" swim bait and flutter spoon, 4-8" soft plastic watermelon color Texas rig or shaky head and watermelon fluke C-rig, anywhere from 2' to 30'

Move around a lot and when you mark them throw everything you have at them and if they don't bite then move some more and start over

Your going to get hooked on Fork! Good tines await you. It is tuff to figure out but when you do, it's lights out!

Look at every point, hump and ridge with your new map and graph. Look for fish close to tge bottom in 12-25ft. Bait present isn't a necessity but helps some. Don't over look shallow! Any vegetation will hold fish!

Oak Ridge or Lake Fork Marina

Stay in the boat lanes, idle if out of the main lane or unsure of it. Pick up a Boat Lanes chip if you have a gps.

3/8oz shakey head, trick worm combo
5" flutter spoon (talon or big Joe)
Drop shot, 12" leader, 1/4 ds weight and zoom finesse worm, Jiggle light but often!
3/4 oz Picasso fantasy football head, alabama craw paca chunk
Dd22 or 6xd in sexy shad
C-rig a centipede
5" senko in blk/blu or water red
Spook in bone
Pop r in bone


Good colors have been Watermelon red, grn pumpkin, water melon candy

You'll be hooked. Like someone said it can be tough but when it's on it's on. In June we put a thirty plus pound stringer in the boat in about 30 minutes once we found them. We had good luck on DD22's and a jig with a rage craw trailer.
Good luck.
