I'm out on lake fork right now and I've never been good at fishing offshore so I'm trying to learn. I'm marking fish but I can't seem to get them to bite. Help!!
Didn’t get on the water until 1 but managed 15 or so with three between 6 & 8 lbs. All on c rig flukes on a 5 ft leader in 18-22 fow. It’s been a timing thing. Spot I am hitting has been best 2-5 lately.
So what changed over the week? Got out to the lake today and had a morning bite but it shut down and been having a hard time finding them in 22 to 26 fow
Today was a bit better but still only on he small ones but switched over to a 1/2 oz Ned rig with a 7" senko through brush piles on main lake point in 20 to 25 fow
My last trip with Eddie Garrett we had a 9.45 and a 10.20 but it was 4pm and blazing HOT when they bit. We caught some fish earlier off several deep spots but nothing over 4# until 4 pm. It was downright pleasant until about 3pm. We had clouds and a nice breeze. But the bigguns didn't bite until the sun popped out and got hot.
I’m feeling the Fork Blues as well. Definitely marking bass in different locations anywhere from 18-30 fow. I have yet to catch an offshore bass at fork. I’ve probably tried 3-4 different times since I got my boat. It’s become very very frustrating. I’ve found some decent shallow water bites in the evening but I’m really wanting to learn the deep bite.

Bragger...
When he said "we" he meant Eddie and the other guy, lol.
Definitely feel the pain...Went with a guide yesterday who has been killing them deep and then the day I show up, they aren't biting anything. On top of several good groups but they had lockjaw. Not even finesse stuff would work. Some days are diamonds and some days are coal. Go figure...
