The warm weather coupled with strong winds really helped the bite today on Fork. The wind is definitley your friend on sunny days. Today I caught fish swimming a jig in the same areas I would normally drag it. I was fishing 3-6' deep. The rising water temperatures really had the fish in an aggressive mood. Remember that the creek channels are highways for the fish and they don't sulk all day next to a stump. They're constantly moving, especially in the warmer weather. So when you find an area that holds fish, fish it several times through the day. When the bite is on, a key area can produce multiple fish. Anywhere you get one bite, can often hold several catchable fish. Timing is everything, it can seem like a slow day, and then its non-stop action for a half hour or longer.

Around 52-54. In shallow backwater areas I've seen 56 degrees. The lower section of the lake is 50-52.

Andrew if your around the Minnow Bucket area Saturday evening or Sunday give me a ring. I would like to meet you. I am hosting a tournament on Lake Tyler Saturday but will be back at the MB tomorrow night and Sunday hosting an open. My RV is parked on the beach front next to the pavilion.
