Lake Fork

[bighed]

Had a nice little bite this morning. Overcast and windy, water temps in upper 60's. caught them shallow off clay banks using pop-r's, swimbaits, and shakey heads.

Very nice color on that fish. Did u get to weigh it?

[bighed]

No, didn't take the time. It was a typical fork slot fish. Short, fat, and bad attitude. A fair guess would be about 5 pounds.

That is a mighty fine looking bass.  Good length to girth ratio and beautiful coloration. Congrats!

No, that was a shakey head fish.  3/16 oz spot remover with a 7"  Aaron's magic roboworm.  The fish are up on these clay banks waiting for schools of spawning shad to come by.

Here's a pop r fish Chad caught. I was looking right at the bait when she smoked it!  Note the red clay banks in both the pictures.  It seems the shad like to spawn on these.

Nice slot fish.

 

With the water level about 4 1/2' low it should be easy to spot those conditions.

The birds will show you where too.

 

I'll be picking on the Fork bass next week.

You are missing the big Legend tourney this weekend!  Let me know if I can be of any assistance with your trip!

Thanks, I am very familiar with Fork during this time of year.

My best tournament fish there is 10# 5 oz.

 

 

I took this picture a couple of years ago, when the water level was lower, of a skeg broken off in a stump.

Yep, the lake is hard on boats!
