Fork Fishing Report by JW Peterson J&J Guide Service Lake Fork Pro Guides Submitted 1-27-12 Lake Fork: This week we received some much needed rain all across North and East Texas. Some areas received as much as 5 inches. At the time of this report, Lake Fork was rising although we are still about 6-7 feet low. The Crappie are biting and you can catch some nice size fish right now if the wind will allow you to fish out on the main lake. Jigs are working very good anywhere from 31-35 feet. The water clarity is good on the main lake and off color to muddy in the back of the creeks due to the hard rain. Water temps range from 50-55 degrees depending on the time of day and where you are located. There are a lot of Bass still out in deep water and there have been reports of some Bass being caught just off the creeks in the back of a few coves. There is not much grass at all so focus on fishing any kind of timber or structure. If we still continue to have a mild Winter, it will not be long now before we start to see some really nice Bass caught. Look for the Bass fishing to really pick up by the end of February or early March. I have guides available for the Spring fishing and if you are interested in fishing with us contact us at 214.236.3320 or email us at jjguides@lakeforkproguides.com. Mexico: On our last trip to El Salto two weeks ago I took 22 fishermen and we boated right at 5300 Bass up to 10 lbs in four days of fishing. It was awesome ! We usually catch from 50-75 Bass per day but on this trip my good friend and fishing partner Jimmy Beach and I boated 183 Bass in one day. The water level at El Salto is right at 50% and the water temps are in the mid to upper 70's. I leave again on Saturday with other clients for a three day trip and again on Feb 6th-18th with a large group. Everything was great and it looks like the Giant Bass are just about ready to spawn. Here are just a few of the testimonials from our last fishing trip. I have a few spots open on one of the 3 day trips in February and other dates are available in February and March. I have been working with Ron Speed for a very long time and everyone continues to do a great job with all these fishing trips. Some Testimonials from past trips: JW! No problem giving a "testimonial" here! All deserved! "This is the BEST BASS FISHING TRIP I have EVER been on! The fishing was so good, number and size, I did not even need fish stories when I came home!!! The problem was, the numbers and size were so good, everyone thought they were "fish stories" as I related them!" Safety was my wife's concern before we left. I have to tell you, the thought never entered my mind once the trip started. From the efficiency of airport pick up in Mazatlan to transport and arrival at the lodge, all was great. Once at the lodge and on the lake, the serenity and peacefulness were amazing. No safety concerns what so ever. Back for a night in Mazatlan, same as any city in the US. Use common sense and stay with the activity and one is perfectly safe. If JW Peterson is in charge, you have someone looking after every detail to be sure your trip is successful. You feel part of JW's "family" as he oversees everything in your best interest. The camp and lodge is clean and well run. Everything is on time; meals fine for the remote environment. Margaritas available and plentiful!!! Mexican fishing guides were professional and efficient. They generally knew the spots to take you and were helpful on all matters. They don't even bring their fishing rods. They are full time "all about you"! LIFE IS GOOD if you are on Lake Salto at Ron Speed's Adventures with JW Peterson!!! Life and bass fishing just don't get any better than that! Dan Toran A simple Virginia fisherman ********************************* Re: Salto Thanks for the pictures! Hard to believe that it was 2 weeks ago today that we met in Dallas/Fort Worth airport to start the most fantastic fishing adventure of my 80+ years. It takes a lot to make an old man dream. Yet, I have had 3 nights of dreaming of "setting the hooks" since we got back. I really can't remember when I started bass fishing, probably 1940-1941. We had a lake in front of our home so I started with a rod and Shakespeare reel, then on to fly fishing. But, for those 70 years I never ever dreamed of catching so many bass. The fishing camp was fantastic, also. Lupe was a hoot, and Jorge and the rest couldn't do enough for us. It just couldn't have been more enjoyable unless I could have landed the 10+ pounder. I hope that I can live long enough to experience it once again. If you will, please pass this on to J.W. And, J.W. you did, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being excellent, you scored 11. Thanks for the trip. Joe ********************************** Thanks for all the effort you put into these Mexico trips, it was truly and awesome adventure. With some skepticism I have read many testimonials, watched several videos, and listen to stories about bass fishing in Mexico on lake El Salto. This January I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go to Lake El Salto with a group at Ron Speed Adventures and proved that everything I had been exposed to about this lake/outfitter couldn’t even come close to explaining what an awesome adventure this is! From the flight down from Dallas, to the van ride to the camp with the roadside tamales and tacos, to the incredible fishing and camaraderie with all the guys fishing with us, it was an amazing time. As far as the fishing , two of us caught between 98 and 200 bass every day we were there, my partners largest bass was 7.2lbs while we caught several between four and six pounds the largest for the entire group was 10lbs with three over nine pounds. I don’t believe there is any other place we could go to catch fish like this and have the opportunity for that next bite to be the largest bass you have ever caught in your life. The camp was laid back and we had a hot meal ready for us when we woke up, got in from the morning fishing, and when we returned from fishing in the evening. “Eat Sleep Fish” where have you heard that before, well those guys must have gone fishing with Ron Speed Adventures to come up with that slogan. Safety and security was never a question, I don’t think anyone from our group ever felt the least bit threatened at any point in our trip, from being at the airport at Mazatlan to spending the week at the fishing camp to returning to Mazatlan to our hotel and going out for dinner the last night we were there, it was all fantastic. I hope to be able to return again and again to enjoy this great adventure. Charles Van Pelt Van Buren, AR **************************** My 6th visit to Mexico with Ron Speed and my friend, JW Peterson was "AWESOME". In 4 days of fishing, our group of 22 folks caught over 5,200 bass. The fishing was great, the camp super, and the guides fun. Not one time did I ever feel threatened or insecure. I highly recommend the trip to anyone wanting to experience a true bass fishing "MECA". Jimmy Beach Thanks to everyone and I am looking forward to fishing with you again this next year ! Until next time, Good Luck and Great Fishing !
