5/21/25 Fishing Report

Welcome to lake Fork. Lake is at full level and surface temps are 75 to 77 degrees. The bass are biting good and about to get better for larger fish. The spawn is over and a lot of bass are starting to move offshore. About 14 to' 16' has been the best depth on main lake points. We're still catching some shallow on secondary and main lake points early and top water bite is good under cloudy skies. There's also a shallow frog bite in vegetation in some areas. On the offshore bite the drop shot and c-rig is best. V&M Strait Wild worm and Pork Shad are my go to baits. As it gets warmer the deeper bite will just get better. I would love to earn your business and maybe get your personal best bass.

Welcome to Lake Fork. Lake level is at full pool and surface temps are are 70to 72 degrees. The spawn is pretty over for the exception of some on the lower end of the lake. May can be a great month here. The top water bite under cloudy skies can be awesome . Also some shad spawn still going on fishing shallow secondary and main lake points with hard bottoms. watch for the Blue Herons and they will show you where the shad are active. We will start moving off the banks in 6' to 18' mostly now. Drop shot, tx. rig, cranks and c-rigs will be the go to baits. If you need a guide I would be glad to have you. Have several customers catch their personal best this Spring also.. Thanks for reading my report . Good Fishing!

Welcome to Lake Fork. The lake is at full pool and surface temps are in the mid 50s now that the cold front has passed. This is going to be a great pre spawn and spawn this Spring.

Welcome to Lake Fork. The lake is at full pool and surface temps are now 55 to 57. With this nice warming trend here at the end of February Fork is about to bust loose. With the warmer nights and longer days the pre spawn is under way. They will start spawning early this Spring. Right now red square bills and chatter baits are great search baits. A couple more warmer surface degrees. and Senkos, other soft plastic stick baits and wacky worms will be the ticket with these bass pulling up shallow.

Lake Fork Report

Welcome to Lake Fork. Lake level is full now and it's setting up for a great pre spawn and spawn. We're on a unusable warming trend right now with surface temps in the mid 50s the past few days. A lot of bass have pulled up shallower and the pre spawn is about to begin early especially on the upper end.. Cranking square bills, chatter baits and lipless cranks are working. Stick baits such as V&M Chopsticks and Senkos will work when you c an find mid 50 surface temps. I'm excited about this Spring! Book your dates now and lets see if we can get your personal best bass. 6 and 8 hour trips are best giving us more time on the water. But I do offer 4 hour trips also.

Welcome to Lake Fork . Water level is -1.76low of full pull and surface temps mid to upper 40s The February, March and April pre spawn and spawn is right around the corner. With the good water level it should be a real good Spring. Right now the jig,, drop shot, suspended jerk bait, a-rig and chatter bait are good choices in this colder water. You need to book your trip soon for the post spawn. .Some big bass pull up early looking for their spawning haunts. You have a chance of catching your personal best. I will be happy to earn your business and try to make your trip memorable'

Lake Fork water is - 1.190 below full pool and surface temps are in mid to upper 50s. Hope everyone has a great 2025 new year! The bass are about to get into Winter transition this month I'm now booking for the pre spawn and spawn trips here. They will start moving towards the main lake creeks, points and secondary points to set up for pre spawn. Jek baits, jigs and drop shot will work best in the colder water. With the lake in good shape and it should be great great this Spring. I would love to earn your business and hopefully put you your personal best bass.

Fishing Report 1/3/24

Lake Fork is - 2.44 below full pool and surface temps are ranging 56 to 59 degrees. Not many people fishing right now right after Thanksgiving. But I think Dec. is going to fish well. Been catching bass from 4'to 18' of water. The drop shot, c-rig and jig have been the best bit. As the water has gotten colder we will start throwing a spoon more offshore' The bar fish or yellow bass will start showing up on some of the deeper points and humps and the bass are feeding on them. Don't underestimate the Winter here. Would love to earn your business.

10/26/24 Fishing Report

Lake Fork water level is - 2.32 low and surface temps are 74 to 77 degrees Fall is here and fish are biting pretty good. The best bite has been shallow with a lot of bass moving back in the creeks. 3ft. to 6ft. on square bills, wacky rig, shaky heads and tx. rigs. Mid morning we're moving out a little deeper on secondary and main lake points with a drop shot and c- rig. November should be real good this year. Would love to earn your business!

10/9/24 Fishing Report

1Lkak Fork is - 1 .91 below full pool. Surface temps are 78 to 82 degrees Bass are starting to get into the Fall pattern.. a lot of the shad are now moving to the back of he creeks. We're still fishing some of the main lake and secondary points. But will start fishing further back in creeks next to channels, The your top water and frog bite will get better and better as it gets cooler. I don't see us having much of a lake turnover this Fall. Usually seeing it by now. Oct. and November are good months.

8/16 /24

Lake Fork water level is-.76 ft. low and surface temp is about 89 degrees. Were fishing mostly offshore in 18' to 24'. The best bite has been on a drop shot and Carolina rig. V &M Slim Wild and Zoom super fluke has best baits. If can get some cloud cover early a top water will work also. I'm only doing 4 hr. and 6 hr. trips this month in this extreme heat.

defaultImg

6/25/24 Fishing Report

Fork is .19 over full pool and surface temps are 87 to8 9 degrees. The offshore deep bite is getting good now. We're fishing mostly long points in 17'to 22'. Drop shot, big shaky head and c-rigs working best. I offer 4,6,and 8 hour trips. But with the extreme heat I suggest the 6 hour for extended trips instead of the 8 hour full day at this time. But we can do any of them. Would love to earn your business.

Lake Fork is a little over a foot above full pool. Surface temps is about 86 t0 89 degrees We've had a lot of rain lately. They have had some gates open for the past week. It is in good shape and fishing pretty good though. I love it offshore in June and July. We have been catching them on drop shots, c-rigs and big shaky heads. When we have good cloud cover the top water has worked well. These two months will produce some big one also. I would love to earn your business!

Awesome fishing trip with Eddie! I brought my grandson and he was amazing with him. Even taught him to use a spinner real and put him on some bass! Booked for one day but extended to 2 because my grandson was having a blast! Thanks again for the memories that will last a lifetime Eddie! See you in August 😀

Bottom line: Eddie is the best guide on Lake Fork. His equipment, his personality, his knowledge, his attitude, his ability, his willingness to teach and his skills are impeccable. It’s not just fishing with Eddie. It’s an “experience”.
