Gary Johnson's Lake Fork Fishing Report |
  Submitted 8-30-10 The water temperature this week on Lake Fork has been in the high 80's and with the cooler weather the fishing has been very good. We are catching great numbers of 12-14 inch fish around the grass all over the lake. These smaller fish are staying in the grass all day where there is plenty of oxygen, baitfish and shade. This is a great time to fish Fork if you are looking to stay busy and catch fish all day long. Key baits for the smaller fish have been shallow running crankbaits such as a baby one minus, small lipless crankbaits and watermelon finesse worms rigged wacky style. On Wednesday we had cloud cover as the front moved through and the topwater bite lasted until noon on Yellow Magics and Pop R's. We are also catching quite a few fish on a drop shot on the outside edge of the grass. Our bigger fish are still coming on a Carolina Rig with a watermelon baby brush hog. We are fishing mainlake extended points which have grass on them in 12-15 feet of water. The grass is growing very rapidly now and the lake is falling making the grassy areas much more visible. The schooling fish are beginning to return after as the water begins to cool off and can be caught on any of the crankbaits. I hope these tips help you on your next trip to Lake Fork.
