Wayne & AR had a good week, dodged storms and wind and still landed this fine Lake Fork Lunker
The weather has been cold for the last two weeks and there really hasn’t been much fishing going on except for the crappie in real deep water. I like this cold weather right now, because it gets the bass back on a normal cycle going into pre-spawn and into spawn. This should make the bass move into the pre-spawn areas in waves instead of smaller groups.
Right now on windy days we are catching some 2 to 4lb. fish on spinnerbaits and rattletraps in 2 to 6 feet of water along the grassbeds. One day they bite better in the creeks and the next day they bite better on grassy main lake points. On calm days a lot of bass can be found in 25 to 35 feet of water. A jigging spoon or a drop shot rig works the best. Some days on your graph , lots of fish will show, but you can only catch 1 or 2 out of the school. Just move on and look for some more.
With the cold weather right now and lots of water with good grass, February should produce a lot of big fish on that pre-spawn feed. If you are willing to fight the weather, it will be a good shot at catching a fish of a lifetime. Because of the weather, it's really better to plan on fishing 2 or 3 days if possible.
The first of March will start to have a few spawning fish, but the middle of the month will really get things kicked off, The spawn will last until the 2nd week of May. I know that seems like a long time for the spawn to last, but it happens every year.
Give us a call or e-mail to book
a trip, the sooner the better to get the day you want..
Good fishing
