Lots going on at the office these days and I'm afraid it'll be a while before I get out again. I fished the McDonald's tournament. We had a good time and caught a few fish, but nothing special. I'll get out soon enough and get those videos and posts coming back. Hey Foo,

Sure hope you get out soon. The lake is still full, and I understand the fish are still there. Would like to see some video with you catching fall schooling bass on topwaters, i.e. Yellow Magics (sometimes called Silver Magics) and Pop-R's. Let me know if the lake has returned to normal after getting churned up during the McDonald's. Good Fishing, Fishinfoo Scott–Man its been a while since you’ve posted anything.

Started off fixing a fuel problem and then headed out to one of my favorite grass beds. Nothing there so I went to the 515 bridge, nothing there. Then went searching for deep water structure and found a dandy bridge that is not on any of the maps. But alas, didn't stick around to fish it much, I was looking for spots for the McDonalds Tourney. Found a couple others then went in. Zero fish, but I wasn't giving it my best effort. So how many of you guys plan on fishing the McDonalds? A buddy of mine has a couple of trailers down on the lake so its a good bet I'll be there. Just got the bass boat out again today for the first time in a while.

This web site is certainly my favorite of the sites I manage. I do this kind of thing for a living, but this site is my "toy" so to speak. I got out quite a bit in the Spring, but not much over the summer. Between the rain, work and the intense heat lately, my fishing trips have been few. Later this week, probably Thursday or Friday, I plan to get out and see if I can find some fish. I am fishing the McDonald's tournament in September so I need to try find something. I live east of the lake, so we have it surrounded. Let me know how you do this weekend. Scott Hi Brian,

I just moved west of Lake Fork about a year ago and sadly enough, I have only got out to the lake twice. July 2007 and August 2007. On the first trip, I caught a couple of fish with one being 6.12 lbs. The biggest I have ever caught. The second trip in August, we didn't catch anything. However, I hear the fishing has picked up since the first week in August. I'm bringing my 5-year old with me again this Saturday since he is going to be starting school next week and really want for him to catch one Scott,

I appreciate it and hope to get out one day later this week. To be honest, the deep water fishing is new for me. I have never really fished in more than about 12-15' of water, so I will have to adapt and find the deeper structure for the bigger fish. Thanks for the info, Omega.

Our best fish went 10 with 3 between 8 and 9. All of our better fish came 25 feet deep, and as deep as 43 feet. We caught them on 3/4 oz and 1 oz football jigs, and we also caught a few on big powerworms. Although the bites were few and far between, the quality was good. You can more fish from 15-25 feet deep, but the better fish are deeper. Just got back from Fork. Our best fish went 10 with 3 between 8 and 9.

I plan on getting out a good bit in the upcoming weeks in preparation for the McDonald's Tournament in September. My buddy <a href="http://www.bigbasscountry.com/2007/04/02/thursday-329-25-on-lake-fork/" rel="nofollow">Donuts</a> is coming in from Florida to fish with me and the last time he was here we caught some nice fish. I am hoping to get out enough before the tournament to get back on a pattern so we aren't starting cold on tournament day. Hey Fishinfoo,

I hope you don't let work get in the way and get back at it real soon. I really enjoy your videos and feel you are giving us the straight skinny. The weather should have a few cooler days in the near future, the type of days that will require that you head to the lake. Good luck! The foo, fishinfoo.

NY waters are wicked low, and my favorite lake, Black Lake, is overrun with weeds and rock snot because of the low water level coupled with higher waste levels. I'm fishing there all of next week, but it sounds like I'll have more fun in the kayak than in the bass boat. There was a 53 inch muskie taken there last year though (tiger mix, not a breeder). Not sure I'd want her pulling my yak, if you catch my drift. Much the opposite problem here, Scott.
