With the
Ram Mega Bass tournament right around the corner, and the opportunity to win a Dodge truck every hour, it’s time to get excited because the spring fishing here on Lake Fork has been great, especially for bigger fish. Last week we had some high winds and the temps dropped again. However, it seems to be warming and my advice is to just hold the course, keep it simple and put the time on the water because fish are cruising the shallows, sitting off secondary points and hunkered down on beds. A few baits you’ll want in your boat for this tournament are a watermelon gold fluke, sun perch jig and tomato color finesse worm. Spring is here and Lake Fork is producing some monster fish.
Here’s a nice one with a client!
Earlier last week I fished the
Bass-N-Buck$ and caught one over the slot weighing 8.87, as well as two heavier fish that went in the slot. All my big fish have been coming on a finesse worm using a drop shot 4' – 8' of water. You’ll want to focus on secondary points back in the creeks. When not fishing those areas, you should be further back in the creeks sight fishing 1' – 2' of water while looking for fish planted in the dirt.

Lake Fork Marina, April 7th, 2013. A good source of material regarding the fishing conditions/reports can be found at the
