Lake Fork

Submitted 4-30-08 This year so for as been very different than years past. The water temp for this time of year is usually in the upper 70's and it seems to be hanging around the 70 mark now. There are still a lot of fish that have not pulled up in my opinion. The main lake fish and the south side fish are pulling up daily as the water hits the upper 60's and low 70's. We have been catching most of our fish on main lake and secondary points all over the lake. Most of the fish on these locations are pre/spawn. I know it is hard to believe but it is true. They are full and ready to go if the weather just will get right. Last year I caught fish off the beds in June and it may happen again this year. Ok here is what we are doing to catch our fish on points. Carolina rigs are best in 5-10 ft on points with timber. Colors working best are anything watermelon and dip the tail chart. Dirty water has a pretty good bite on spinnerbaits in chart/white and chatterbaits also with gold blades on both. These fish are on the bank 1-3 ft for the most part but the water needs to be off colored or murky. Top waters should start working any day now if the water temp will stay up. I like yellow magic's around grass and reeds close to the main lake. I hope this helps you on your next trip to Lake Fork.
