Eddie Garrett's Lake Fork Fishing Report |
![]() Submitted 3-20-10 Welcome to Lake Fork.. You can tell spring is finally here because March Madness has begun. We've seen boats everywhere this week and it's been a good week for fishing. We've had a lot of numbers and some good fish have been caught! The males have moved in the back of these creeks doing their job and the females are up close waiting. The spawn is about to began! We've seen beds way back in the creeks in very shallow water that you can see in, but most of it is very stained. Caught some fish very early in the week on
white chatter baits and white chartreuse spinner baits when we had some
wind. But our best baits have been 7" zoom watermelon red, trick worms and
5" wave tikki sticks both rigged wacky and fished slowly in 1' to 5' water
midway to all the way back in the creeks. Early in the day we're fishing
in front and inside edges of secondary points. We've got a pretty hard
cold front coming in for this weekend with wind and rain. Saturday and
Sunday nights are suppose to be low 30's. These fish are very close up
right now and this front will back them off a little, but they wont move
very far because their set to start the spawn. Once this front passes and
it starts to warm up again it's going to be a full blown spawn!! I look
for it last to last well into May this year including the far south end of
the lake. There's been some big fish caught this week including a 13
pound-er, but you will have alot more as the spawn begins. |
