It was a beautiful week here at Lake Fork. The water temperatures warmed up to 63 to 68 degrees and the water clarity started to improve. With that being said, the bass moved in and started to spawn on Wednesday.

A steady stream of fish continues to come in every day. The watermelon/red Zoom Fluke bite was good all week due to the numbers of bass coming in to spawn. I rigged the fluke on a split-shot rig, works great! The 8-inch Zoom chartreuse/pumpkin lizard bite did slow down a little but we still caught several good quality fish on it. Make sure you match your sinker weight color to the color of lizard that you are using and bring good polarized glasses with which to see these Lake Fork lunkers.

The white bass are still in the creeks trying to spawn. Follow the birds and you will find large balls of shad and that is where you will find the white bass. You can use chrome, Joe Spaits Flashtail ½-ounce spoon to catch them.

The crappie fishing was really good this week. Large numbers of crappie limits were brought into the cleaning station. Remember there is a 10-inch minimum length on the crappie here at Lake Fork. The crappie were being caught on numerous colors of jigs and minnows. Have fun!

The catfish fishing was still a little slow. A few catfish can be found in shallow water and can be caught on minnows. The rest of them are in the transition depths of 8 to 14 feet and can be caught on minnows and punch bait.

Yes, the bass spawn is here! Have a safe week and wear that life vest while the big motor is running.
