The fishing on Lake Fork has been good for big fish this week in spite of the windy weather. Today Steve Dacus from Dallas fished with me and caught his personal best bass that weighed 10 lbs 8oz. This bass came out of 10 ft of water on the edge of a grass line. It was a post spawner. Right now on Lake Fork there are several different patterns that are working. One pattern that is working well is fishing secondary points off the spawning plats in 10-12 ft of water with a Carolina Rig and a Crank bait. The bait that has been working for me on the Carolina Rig is an 8 inch Green Pumpkin Lizard and on the crank bait a Norman Deep Little N in shad color. Also right now on Lake Fork there is one of the best flipping bites I have seen in a long time. With the Lake full there is tons of flooded vegetation in 2-3 ft of water. Alot of the bass have spawned under this shallow vegetation and has made it a flippers dream. The bait that has worked well for me is a June Bug or Red Shad Brushhog. This pattern has produced 2 bass over 9 lbs this week for us and several in the 5-6 lb class. Good areas to try right now are Ray Branch, Wolf Creek, and Dale Creek. May is Top Water time on Lake Fork and I think this year will be one of the best with all the new flooded vegetation. If you like throwing a Frog, Lake Fork will be the place to be.
