Well, the weather has gone back to summer. Mercy only in Texas. The big fish are starting to show up around the lake. Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of small fish still biting. The action has been good with the small fish keeping your line tight. We need some cold weather to get the big girls moving. The grass is still the key. Weightless wacky worms, flukes, and light weight Texas rig worms fished around the edges is the best pattern. There is a few top water bites coming on early mornings. The Wave Tiki stick fished over and around the grass with a light weight or no weight at all will get you some bites. The Lake Fork Ring Fry is another good choice fished weightless over the grass. The Texas and Carolina rig fished on the outside edges of the grass and deep humps and main lake points have been productive. The Johnson jig in half ounce pitched around the grass and timber on the edges of the creeks is a good bet. The fish are stacking up in the creeks as they try to move back into the bays to feed. Big crank baits are another good choice over the humps and main lake points. This weekend is the full moon so don’t rule out night fishing.
Don’t forget about the bar fish. We have a great population and there is no size or limit. They will keep the little fisherman happy with plenty of action and you still have a shot at a big bass hitting your tail spinner or jigging spoon. These fish are very good eating. You only need to hit the humps and roadbeds and you should find the fish. Your electronics can be your best friend here.
The crappie have started moving and the little fish are plentiful. There are still some big fish biting but you may have to catch a bunch of little fish before you get a limit.
