Fork has been tough for me this year, but I'd suggest starting really shallow for the first few hours of the day. Fish frogs if there's any vegetation.
As the sun gets higher move out to stumps in 10 to 15 feet of water near creek channel drops. You'll know where the major points are, because there will be several boats on each of them throwing deep diving cranks.
I caught a few fish with it. I was steadily and slowly reeling it just fast enough so the tail fin poked out of the water. I don't know if it got too hot or what, but the bait split down the back in my tacklebox.
I've been having better days on Lake Ray Hubbard than I have on Lake Fork. I'm not sure how many more times I'm going to drive all the way out to Lake Fork to catch just a couple fish, when I can catch fish all day on Hubbard.
I'm loving the bug. Its a great bait. So far I've fished it t-rigged and on a drop shot. Next time I'm out I'm gonna have to try it rage-rigged and as a jig trailer
I got to fish the Rage Bug for the first time yesterday. This bait is awesome! I fished Lake Ray Hubbard and found some fish on the rocks just like last time. I was fishing a watermelon/red rage bug with the long flaps dipped in chartreuse JJ's Magic. I caught a few fish with this bait on a 'brass and glass' drop shot and the rest I caught fishing it t-rigged. Didn't find any big fish but I caught a couple dozen fish up to 3lbs.
My friend Sherman and I had a great day on Lake Ray Hubbard yesterday. We caught most of our fish on green pumpkin/purple/gold baby thumpers fished on a drop shot with the tails trimmed slightly and dipped in chartruese JJ's magic. We also caught a few on spinnerbaits with menace trailers.
Hey Everyone,
Haven't posted over here in a while. Thought I'd share a fish I caught a few weeks ago. She was 6.5lbs and angry.
Caught her on a rage -rigged Honey Candy Rage Tail Recon.
