Come to Fork bass & crappie fishing and catch one of these!

Fall is almost here and the bass & crappie fishing on Fork will just get better as we go. Cooler weather is suppose to be here tonight which will start dropping the water temperature just in time for the Big Bass Splash which is next weekend. The bass bite has been some what slow but I expect the cooler weather to wake them up.

I have been catching bass several ways. Starting with a spook early in the morning, as soon as it is light enough to see. Make sure it has a white belly. Once the sun gets up, I am throwing a Carolina rig and keeping the spook handy incase of a blow up with in casting distance. I am fishing the Carolina rig out to about 18 ft using a watermelon red baby brush hog. I am also catching bass in the new growing grass you will find up north above the 515 bridges. There I am throwing a wacky worm and a finesse worm on a 1/8 oz weight. You will catch some small bass doing this but will also catch some tournament keepers also. I love this time of the year as the bass & crappie fishing will just keep getting better and better till late November!!.

I also guide for crappie and that bite has been good also. I am catching crappie in 22-25 feet and minnows have worked the best. I put out my own brush piles and they are paying off!! I furnish everything for your trip no matter what you what you want to fish for. Just come get in my boat and go fishing.

Bass fishing remains slow but will soon pick up in mid to late August. So for the time being you should focus on sand bass & crappie fishing. This is the time of year you might want to consider using my guide service to find fish, as they are tough to locate in the hotter weather. I have been guiding on Lake Fork for 15 years and customer service is number one in my books. I want your trip to be the best fishing trip you have ever been on using a guide on Lake Fork. I furnish everything for your trip, just come get in my boat and go fishing!!. I am looking forward to the fall fishing this year as there is 5 years of growth now in the water since we have a full lake for the first time in 5 years.

If you have not been here since the lake filled up you will be shocked when you see it. But there is still not any grass growing where it was thick in places last year in the east arm and in Burch creek. But there are standing pockets of willow trees in 3-5 feet of water which will be new cover for the bait fish and the bass to be hiding in. Spinner bait and rattle trap will be 2 good baits to be throwing when the  water starts cooling off for the fall. So for the time being, try sand bass & crappie fishing to pass the time till we get to the good fall fishing!!
