I have been fishing there for years and the last year finding and catching fish has bee real hard . Anyone know what is going on? So many tournaments being won with 2-5 lbs.

yea the guy's from NM are killing it, I know because I use to be one of those guy's but now I live in TX.

Low stocking rates, fishing pressure, and spotted bass

I have been there several days the last 2 mos. and have not see or talked to anyone that was doing well. I have not seen more than 5or 6 boats there during the week and 20-25 on the weekend. I remember the good old days and want them back.

Was out there last Sunday and there were only about 6-7 trailers in the lot at 11 am when we launched, only one when we loaded at 5:30pm, and he loaded up while we were prepping for the road.

What do spotted bass have to do with it ?

I have ask that several times. What do the spots have to do with it?

I was out there two weeks ago for three days... Water temps still too cold, caught 5 or 6 spots real shallow on the dam and all the blacks came out of 25ft of water or deeper... The guys I talked to weren't lying when they said the largemouth were stacked up in the channels.

I don't know how true this is but I've been told that spots are just as bad as whites, as in they feed constantly and over time take away from the forage of other species... In my neck of the woods we don't have any spots and from what I learned of them they are super aggressive....on top of that the fishing pressure and pleasure boaters all over that lake throughout the spring and summer can really put a damper on the fishing

That is what I have found, but I can remember when good fish were being caught all the time. Now it is seldom that even a 5 lber is caught.

I can remember a few years ago when there were numerous pissing matches on here about whether Alan Henry was a better trophy lake than Fork...

Looks like fork wins!

Yep Fork wins. Everyone should go to Fork.
