December Lake Fork Report

It's been a great few months here on Fork with lots of big fish being caught including one that topped the scales at Lake Fork Marina at over 15lbs. This time of year the larger fish are heading to the shallow and mid range grass beds to spend their winter under the canopies of hydrilla, where the bait and cover is abundent. I target these fish by trying a few baits starting with a rattle trap. When fishing the trap I like to use a 1/2 oz bait in some red/orange color scheme. Your goal is to just tick the tops/clumps of the vegetation, when it hangs up just rip it free and let it flutter back down and this is when most of your bites will happen. I also like throwing a wacky wormed Zoom finesse worm in watermelon red with a small nail in the head to help it fall just a bit, also a little dip in chartruse spike-it. I hope these patterns help you go out and catch the fish of your dreams.

My spring guide trips are booking fast so if you are interested in experiencing a true fishing adventure,  or if you need anything on your next journey on Lake Fork feel free to contact me. I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas and New Year!
