Fork has been a little slow this past week for us and many others. These HOT days must have had some effect on them cause they slowed way do from the week before. I expect it to get going again very soon. Now we still are catching some fish but we are having to work for them and hit lots of spots. We have not had a hole that has produced more than 6 fish off one spot. Very unusual for this time of year. Numbers have been down but size is still good. We have had a shad spawn and a good crawfish hatch that is not helping the bite either. Now my frog bite has just about stopped because of the heat with water temps being in the mid 90's, but when it has stopped in years past it means my swim bait bite is about to start. I sure hope so.

Now TX/rigs using big worm, brush hogs, punch hogs, are working in 15-18 ft on points and humps. Best colors have been black neon, blue fleck, watermelon red rigged with a 3/8 ox Tru Tungsten weight and a 5/0 hook. as the day heats up, we have been throwing a deep diving crank baits like DD-22, BPS Deep Diver in shad patterns and working them over 25-35 ft of water over creek channels and long points and humps. My jig bite is still slow but there are a few along the edge of grass in 8 ft  and the best color is a JHS special in a 3/8 oz Viper XP Jig. I wished I had more to give you this week but this is all I have working right now.

I will be running some night trips the rest of the summer so if anyone is interested, we can customize the trips to  a 4,6,8 hr night trip just let me know? You can reach me at the contact info listed below.
