Fork Fishing Report

Sep 18, 2024

GOOD. Water Stained; 81 degrees; 1.59 feet below pool. Bass are good with numbers of fish shallow in 1-2 feet of water around grass hitting spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and choppos. Shakyheads are good around wood and docks in 5-10 feet. Carolina rigs fair offshore on points and humps 12-18 feet of water. Deep crankbaits, DD-22 and XD 6, are fair over humps and channel swings in 22-25 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been up and down this past week. Best bite has been on timber around creek channels in 18-28 feet. Some fish are on brush piles in 14-22 feet, but some days they will bite and some days they lock up. You can find a few fish on bridges but not huge numbers. The white crappie fishing has been the best lately and the black crappie just have not shown up in huge numbers like they will when the water cools off more. We are seeing great quality fish being caught daily. The minnow bite is still very good. You can catch some fish on jigs in both hand ties and soft plastics. The catfish bite is excellent around timber in 20-28 feet. When you find an area holding some fish you just need to tie up to a tree and start fishing. The fish will find you shortly and in huge numbers. You can still use cattle cubes or some sour grain to draw even more fish in or hold fish to your area. Any prepared catfish bait will work to load the boat and load it fast right now. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
