June at Lake Fork can be the month
that set's the summer patterns into play. Normally they start in May but
the whole year has been a little behind and the very hot temperatures
coming will accelerate it into the summer patterns. There are lots of
way to catch the fish here in June and I will go over a few of them
which are my favorites. This month I will be starting out some of my
mornings with topwaters like yellow magic's, pop-r's and BPS
walkers/Z-pops over and around grass early. Shad colors working best for
most of the month but perch patterns will work where the perch are
spawning. Now if you are after big bass then I like to start throwing a
swimbait around the grass under the surface along main lake points and
just come over the top and them let it drop off the edge. There are
several ones that will work but here are a few I use. I like the 3:16 in
a Rising sun and Bass Magic's as well as Bass Pro Shops swimming stick o
which is weedless and comes through everything. Some days it will help
you get bit if you just hit the grass just a little to disturb the area
to get them to react to the bait or see/hear it. Now as we get on up
into the heat of the day my favorite two baits are a 10-12 inch TX/rig
worm and a DD-22 crank bait. Deep water will work but not always
necessary. I still catch some big bass in less than 10 ft during the
heat at times but one thing to always keep in mind is how close is the
deeper water. If not to far off they will be some big bass there feeding
at certain times. Now Carolina rigs will be good also but would be my
third choice for big bass. Colors on plastics this month will be just
about like always with watermelon red, watermelon, June bug, green
pumpkin, black neon, being some of the best to use on soft plastics but
others will work. On crank baits it is all about shad if you are fishing
off shore till the perch finish spawning and they mover off the bank.
When this happens the perch pattern crank baits will get after them.
Last year it happened mid June but it maybe late June this year.
