Headed to Lake Fork April 23rd, 24th, 25th.... Will be taking a long awaited guided trip with James Caldemeyer.... I'm hoping that we will have a much more successful trip than we did back in October of 11'..... How good are the fish biting this past week(end)? Good time to go?

James is a good dude last October was just not good lake took forever to turnover I went with him also that same time didn't catch much but learned a ton. You have to remember just cause they are guides doesn't mean you are going to whack them.

I would love to go catch a 20+ stringer of 5 best fish.. but thats not my #1 priority. I'm hoping to learn some new tactics on fishing and different ideas to help make me a better fisherman. I also will be in for the good fellowship that i know will be there. give me them two things and I'll be called a "HAPPY CAMPER".......

Ahh no not James! JK he is a great guy! Works hard and my boys love him. I will stay away, and the weather should be good! He will know who I am, everytime I go out there or around him the weather turns brutal! Should have a day you won't forget! Tell James hello for me.

Bad timing with the lake turnover. It killed the bite for the Media Championship also.

Hope you do better than I did today. It was my first time there, and I didn't get one bump. I was mainly in the Little Mustang area. Lot's of other boats were in my vicinity, and come to think of it, I didn't notice them getting any fish either. There were people running all over the lake, however, and maybe they found some. I tried deep and shallow in the timber, as well as trying what little grass and reeds I could find.

I did see a lot of turtles, alligator gar, and one really big raccoon!

Sounds like Debbie Downer is on here! Rou rou rou! Lol

Shad spawn should be on. Square bills are the ticket.

James C is an awesome guy and a great fisherman. We're booked with him on the 28th so leave some for us!

+10 for James Caldemeyer. We fished with him a week or so ago and going again end of April. The fish are biting and it will only get better:)

You won`t have any problem breaking 20 pounds at all. By far this is the best time of year that I have on Fork for numbers and quality. They are easy pickins for the next few weeks.

You will have a great time with James and those dates it should be ON!

Thanks for all the response. 6 more days, we can't hardly wait.
Will be at the air show this Saturday in Bossier City. Tripp or ReelGirl, are yall going?
