Lake Fork Fishing Report Submitted April 11, 2007 By Guide James Caldemeyer

April is a big month for Lake Fork this year with many of the biggest bass being caught at this time. Lately, the weather has not been very cooperative in drawing the bigger fish into the shallows. The recent cold weather and even snow have made for some chilly days out on the water. A warming trend is in the forecast so the bite should improve considerably over the next several days. Water temperatures have been cooler as well ranging from 60-64 degrees. Most of the areas that were stained from recent rains have started to clear up and the lake level is sitting at 401.84 which is just over a foot low. The lake being this close to full is an answered prayer of mine as well as others I’m sure. God always knows what we need and when we need it! Most of the fish my clients and I have been catching this past week have been out a little deeper in 4 to 8 foot with an 11.7 lb lunker being the biggest. That fish fell for a bluegill colored swim bait. The swim bait bite has been good. Be prepared though when fishing it as the strikes are very aggressive! A Grande Stick rigged weightless on a 4/0 hook and 15 lb line has also produced a lot of fish. Best colors have been watermelon red, green pumpkin and junebug. I have also been rigging it “wacky style” as well as the Grande Bass Squirm Worm in the same colors. www.GrandeBass.com Baby Minus 1’s have also produced some fish worked over the grass. Best colors have been black splatter back and baby bass. White or white/chart. double willow spinner baits do well in these same areas on a windy day. I use a Talon spinner bait and I like them a lot! They are very high quality and have a very sharp hook. www.leadheadlures.com If you are a deep structure angler like myself, start getting you deep cranks, carolina rigs, and drop shots ready. As this month progresses you will find more and more fish out deep. Those fish that have already spawned will be ripe and ready for the picking! Humps, points, pond dams, roadbeds etc. will be prime spots to look over with your electronics. You can also look for the topwater bite to start picking up as this water starts to warm back up. Pop R’s, Zara Spooks, Buzzbaits and Frogs will all have their place in catching some real nice ones on top! If you are planning a trip to Lake Fork and would like to book a trip to fish with a licensed professional guide, please feel free to contact me by email at lakeforktrophybass@yahoo.com or you can call me anytime (903) 736-9888. I work hard to provide my clients with a fishing experience to be remembered. You can also visit my website if you would like more information about Lake Fork www.officiallakeforktrophybass.com I wish all the professional anglers fishing the Toyota tournament here this weekend the best. For all you fans that will be coming out to the lake to see your favorite anglers, have fun and be safe out there! Hopefully I’ll see you out there…
