Lake Fork
Water Temp: 62 - 68
Water Clarity: Clear
Before I start my report, I have started booking trips for spring 2008 and would be more than happy to be your guide on Lake Fork. So give me a call as I still have many good dates available. Also, I’m having trouble with my www.fishinwithjeff.com site and am trying to figure out why it went down. It should be up soon. All my contact info. is here in this report, but keep checking the site.
Since my last report fishing has been tougher, but with all things given enough time to think and I can usually figure things out. The same baits are still working and in some areas are working well. However, Xcite Baits flukes in watermelon candy are the trick. I thought once I found this that a senko would work but all it got were very light bites. As where the fluke got bit hard and caught fish, these other baits are still working you just have to pick your days for some of them; from on top with Scum Frogs, buzz-baits, pop’rs and the new Injured Minda, to Bandit splatterback, Rat-L-Traps and wacky-rigs using Xcite Bait trick worms. Then there is the ever bottom of the lake throwing Carolina-rigs in 24 to 31 feet of water, focusing on main lake points, humps and creek channels through-out the lake.
The fish are staging for their fall migration even though it still feels like summer here in Texas. We’ve started bass schooling on the surface so keep what you think or what you like to throw ready and available. Right now we’re keying in on main lake and secondary points and that’s where the majority of our fish are coming from. Grass is key and isn’t a hard thing to find.
The pictures of some of our catch are on the 2007 “Fat Girls” page on my site, www.fishinwithjeff.com. All of the fish pictured are of fish over 4 pounds, unless it is a child or woman. However, in a lot of cases those pictures will exceed that barrier throughout the year.
• I’m running a group special right now, two guides, and one night of lodging for $650.00.
If I can be of more help or assistance regarding a trip or “Bassin’ Class” please contact me at 972-853-0949 / 800-965-0350 or by e-mail at jeff@jeffkirkwood.com. My web site, www.fishinwithjeff.com. If your club, organization or church is looking for a guest speaker I’d be happy to come just give me a call and we’ll get it on the calendar.
It’s that time of year to start looking at your calendar for guide trips for fall & winter. The earlier you book your date the easier it will be to get the date(s) you want. I have dates available if you’re looking for a FULL-TIME guide. So, should you want to become one of my many valued customers and a great group of fishermen give me a call, I’d be honored to be your guide. UNTIL NEXT TIME…GOOD LUCK & TIGHT-LINES!!!
