Lake Fork, Texas
WOW let the March winds blow, the Dogwoods bloom and the Bass bite. It has been a great week for the Bass fisherman. With the full moon on the 19th the Bass moved in to almost of the major and sub-creeks here at Lake Fork. The fish had to put up with water temperatures moving up and down from 56 to 59 degrees on Sunday and Monday but when Tuesday arrived the water temperatures raised to 65 degrees and by Saturday the water temperatures made it to almost 70 degrees. The buck (male) Bass were moving quickly into Burch and White Oak Creeks looking for places to make a bed. We fished the outer edges of the sub-creeks with V & M lizards and V & M Chop Sticks. Yep you guessed it, the color of choice was watermelon red with chartreuse tail’s. Use Chartreuse Spike-it on the tails. We fished the V & M lizard Texas rigged using an Eagle Claw LO45 4/0 hook and a 3/16 slip sinker. The way we fished the Chop Stick was using an Eagle Claw LO45 hook with a 1/8 ounce split shot about 18 inches up from the hook. The real secret of all of this is “SLOW”. You cannot fish these baits slow enough.
With the wind continuing to be 20 to 25 miles an hour out of the south in afternoon, boating safety is paramount. My safety tip for the week is if you have a kill switch on your outboard motor make sure it is attached to your life jacket and by the way wear your life jacket.
The friendly folks at Lake Fork Marina has a large selection of V & M products on hand, so stop in and say hello and pick up a good supply of lizards and Chop Sticks.
