Jimmy Everett’s Lake Fork Report www.fishinlakefork.com fishinlakefork@yahoo.com CALL FOR A GREAT NOVEMBER SPECIAL ON A 2 DAY/1 OR 2 NIGHT STAY ON LAKE FORK

The fishing on Fork has been keeping a steady pace and looks like it should be a good weekend for the Berkley tournament if these latest storms coming through don’t throw the fish a curve ball.

Look for shallow fish early around the grass from the main lake to the creeks. Grass is the key. Look for the edges of the grass located in 1 to 6 feet of water. . Start out with a soft plastic jerk bait or stick bait like a fluke, yum dinger, or centipede in shades of greens and browns. Fish these baits weightless with a twitch and pause technique. A small finesse worm rigged wacky style with a small insert weight will also produce some nice numbers. Once the fish start to slow down on the weightless baits you should be able to pick up a few extra fish by throwing a shaky head or drop shoting a small finesse worm in watermelon/red. Just flip these baits along the edge of the grass for those extra fish. I have also snagged a few this week throwing a ¼ ounce lipless crank or a bandit 100 series crank in chrome blue or chrome black.

Once these bites slow up try kicking out to deeper water. Try looking for and then graphing areas such as points, channel bends, brush piles, road beds, pond dams, humps, and ridges located in 18 to 28 feet of water. This is where I have found most of my quality fish the last few weeks . I have had my best luck working a carolina rigged fluke or small creature bait in watermelon/red or watermelon candy. Being slow has been the key. I have also caught some nice fish and good under fish drop shoting a twitch worm in watermelon. If you get on fish and they shut down or start suspending on you brake out some 1 ounce spinner baits or shad colored swim baits and start working them in the depth you see the fish suspended on the graph.

I still have October and November dates available for those interested in some great fall fishing. I also have December and January dates open on Lake Monticello or Lake Fork.
