Gary Johnson's Lake Fork Fishing Report |
  Submitted 10-29-09 The water temperature this week on Lake Fork is about 70 degrees and the lake is full with more rain expected today and tomorrow. Early in the week the fish were on the outside edge of the grass in seven to ten feet of water. Top baits have been rattle traps, Yozuri Rattlin Vibes and the Berkley Frenzy using a little slower retrieve than normal. Up until this week we had been catching our fish over the top of the grass but that bite has halted and all the fish were on the outside of the grass in a little deeper water. Finesse worms rigged wacky style have also been producing some fish in the same areas. Any of the watermelon colors or pumpkin colors have been the best. We are working the wacky worms very slowly and methodical. We also caught a few fish on a chartreuse and white chatterbait fished with a steady retrieve just below the surface of the water. The jig bite so far has not turned on and we even flipped boat houses this week with very little success. We will continue this week working the jig as this bite will soon turn on. We are starting to find bar fish on extended points and roadbeds which means it is about time for the jigging spoons to start working in the deeper water. You may catch a lot of bar fish with this technique but the big bass are usually close by. I am also booking trips on Lake Monticello as well as Lake Fork during the winter months so call early for best available dates on either lake. I hope these tips help you on your next trip to Lake Fork and if you are looking for a great day on the water and a professional guide trip please give me a call at 214-205-0540. Also, I have my 2008 Skeeter 21i for sale at a big discount. It is in excellent condition and loaded with a Yamaha Series 2 250 horsepower engine, Motorguide 101 lb. trolling motor, custom trailor, custom cover, two Lowrance LCX 28 graphs, automatic locks and burglar alarm system. If interested please give me a call at 214-205-0540.
Until next
week, good luck and good fishing!! |
