Lake Fork -- Dream Trip - 02/11/21 05:47 PM
Texas Fishing Forum Newbie here! And yup...I am that guy who shows up seeking some advice!
I ended up with a week in March that freed up and looking to fly across the country and spend it in Texas. Already had the Rona so should not bring it with me! Anyways I am an avid bass fisherman. Tournament fish the local bass scene and Lake Fork is kind of a dream trip. I see quite a few Air BnBs close by so I will likely go that route. I'm not big on guides, but I assume they would be booked this late anyway. I am only finding one boat rental shop...The Boat Rental at Lake Fork. Is this my only option? I will be there the week of March 22nd. What should a guy typically expect for water temps and fishing conditions? I have seen it recommended to stay in the "boat lanes" and to look at the chip offered by Lance Vick...although I'm not sure what kind of electronics I will have available.
Any words of advice? Not fishing spot related. I know how lame that is to ask. More so areas to avoid etc to save a lower unit expense! Will be my first time to Texas so a little tourist in me as well. Love to check out local food, pubs, etc. But ultimately coming to fish.
Thanks for any advice!
