Trailer Chains? Who Needs ‘Em!
0 Comments - Comment on this topic Published by admin February 23rd, 2007 inWhile walking out to the dock this morning to fish for a while, I saw a man at the boat landing next to the dock taking his boat out of the water. He drove his boat up on the trailer, hooked the nose, hopped into his truck and took off up the ramp. One small [...]

No fish today, but I didn’t hit them very hard. I worked the rattle trap around some stumps, had one follow it to the dock then take off when he saw me, but that was as close as today brought me to catching fish. I saw a few people in boats nearby catching a few. One guy was using a green fluke and I think the other was actually using a spinner bait.
We have a front coming through late tomorrow, so maybe tomorrow morning and afternoon will be good. Pre-frontal conditions are sometimes very good. It’s been warm for 4 days now…we’ll see!

My First Catch Fishing for Bass on Lake Fork

Today, on the second day of warmth, I caught a nice bass off the dock at the resort where I am staying. It was about 18 inches long and weighed in at about 3 pounds. I caught it on a half ounce, crawfish colored, rattle trap in the middle of the afternoon.
I prefer the 1/4 oz. rattle trap, but I lost my last one of the smaller size and am using this half ounce version. There is little difference between the two, but it has been my experience in the past that the smaller size works better in tough conditions.

It’s Finally Warming Up

Today we saw a high of about 74 and light to moderate winds from the southeast. Reports say that the 1/4 oz. rattle trap is working in the deeper flats, but fishing is tough right now. If you are going to use a rattle trap, use [...]
So, you are going to fish Lake Fork?
0 Comments - Comment on this topic Published by admin February 11th, 2007 inLake Fork is clearly one of the best bass fishing lakes in the US or even in the world. It is nestled in the piney woods of Eastern Texas and is easily accessible from I-20 and I-30. It is less than 100 miles from Dallas so there are many from the metroplex who make the [...]
