The fishing here on Lake Fork has been good for numbers of slot fish. The bass are schooling and when they come up they will hit just about anything that looks like a Shad. The best bait for me to catch these schooling bass has been a 1/2 oz Shad colored Rat-L-Trap, and a Norman Deep Little N, Shad Pattern. When these bass come up you can almost catch them on every cast. Most of the schooling activity I have seen has been on the main lake and around the mouth of Little Caney, also the mouth of Chaney Branch at the dam and the 2946 and 515 West bridges, also the mouth of Wolf creek has been very good.
When these schooling bass go down, I am using a Smoking Shad Fluke, on a 1/4 oz Jig Head to catch the bass that are suspended. When the schooling action slows down, I have been changing to a Carolina Rig, I am using a 1 oz weight and a three-foot leader, 15lb line, Best baits for me on the Carolina Rig have been a Watermelon Seed Centipede and a Watermelon Seed Baby Brush Hog, water depth 15 to 25 feet.
This past week the fishing was off and on with good and tough days, when there is no wind and the water is slick that is when the fishing has been tough, all I can say is this time of year the wind is your friend. The bass are in a solid Summer pattern In the last three days, we have been catching 25 to 30 bass a day. July is always hot, but the fishing should remain good and the patterns will not change much in the next month. There are not many boats on the lake right now and you just about have the lake to yourself. All tackle is included on my trips, If you would like to book a guide trip, call me at 903-629-7699 or my cell 903-629-5085 . Web site
