  • Lake Fork Texas Fishing Report February 15 2025 - Wet Weather, Pre-Spawn Bass, and Scattered Crappie
    Feb 15 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene at Lake Fork, Texas, for today, February 15, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. According to the forecast, today is looking like it'll be a bit wet, with moderate rain expected and temperatures ranging from 47°F to 63°F. The wind will be coming out of the SSW at about 18 mph, so make sure to dress accordingly and secure your gear.

    Now, let's dive into the fishing conditions. The water level is currently 0.28 feet below pool, and the water is stained, which can be a bit challenging but also presents some opportunities. The water temperature is around 57 degrees, which is starting to get into that pre-spawn range for largemouth bass.

    Recently, the largemouth bass have been quite active, especially with the warmer sunny days we've been having. You can expect to find them in the 5-8 feet range, particularly around creek bends, drop-offs, and areas with flooded trees. For these bass, Alabama rigs are doing well offshore around road beds and long points in 18-23 feet. If you're targeting shallower fish, chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits are your best bets in the 3-5 feet range around channels and ditches. Viper XP jigs and Texas rigs are also fair on big wood near channels in 5-10 feet.

    Crappie fishing is also picking up after the recent cold snap. These fish are still scattered, so you'll need to cover some water to find them. They're mostly in water deeper than 20 feet, and you can find them on timber, brush, bridges, and even roaming in open water chasing shad. Artificial baits seem to be outperforming live bait right now because they sit still in the water, which is important since the shad they're eating are barely moving due to the cold water temperatures.

    For other species, hybrid striped bass and white bass are active, often found chasing schools of baitfish anywhere from the surface to deeper river channels. Catfish, including blue, channel, and flathead, are also present and can be caught year-round.

    Here are a couple of hot spots to consider today:

    1. **Creek Bends and Drop-offs**: These areas are prime for largemouth bass, especially with the pre-spawn activity kicking in. Look for flooded trees and use slow-retrieved fish patterns on rocky banks.
    2. **Road Beds and Long Points**: For offshore fishing, these spots are great for using Alabama rigs in 18-23 feet of water.

    In terms of lures, here are some recommendations:

    - Alabama rigs for offshore bass
    - Chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits for shallower bass
    - Viper XP jigs and Texas rigs for bass near big wood
    - Artificial baits for crappie, as they seem to be more effective than live bait right now

    Sunrise today is at about 6:53 AM, and sunset will be around 6:04 PM, so you've got a good window to get out there and catch some fish.

    Remember to always follow local regulations and practice catch-and-release to help maintain the health of our fish populations. And don't forget to drain your boat and onboard receptacles to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

    Good luck out there, and tight lines

  • Fishing Forecast: Chilly Temps, Promising Bass and Crappie Bite at Lake Fork, Texas
    Feb 14 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene at Lake Fork, Texas, as of February 14, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. The water temperature is sitting around 49 degrees, which is quite chilly but perfect for some species. The water is stained, and the lake level is about 0.40 feet below pool. Given the recent cold snap and the influx of water, the fish are still adjusting, but things are looking up.

    For those targeting largemouth bass, now is a great time to start thinking about the pre-spawn bite. With rising water and warm sunny days expected, larger male bass are starting to move into shallower waters, typically around 5-8 feet deep. Focus on creek bends, drop-offs, and areas with flooded trees. Alabama rigs are doing well offshore around road beds, jumps, and long points in 18-23 feet of water. For shallower fish, chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits are your best bet in 3-5 feet around channels and ditches. Viper XP jigs and Texas rigs are also fair on big wood near channels in 5-10 feet.

    If you're after crappie, the bite is improving daily. These fish are scattered, so be prepared to cover some ground. They can be found in water deeper than 20 feet, often around timber, brush, bridges, and open water where they're chasing shad. Artificial baits seem to be outperforming live bait right now, likely because they sit still in the water, which is what the crappie are looking for given the cold water temperatures.

    White bass are also worth targeting, especially as they start schooling. Jigging spoons and live baitfish work well, but when they're schooling, topwater baits and small crankbaits can be very effective.

    Now, let's talk about some hot spots. One of the best areas to fish is around the road beds and jumps, particularly in the deeper sections of the lake. Another spot is the creek bends and drop-offs, especially where there are flooded trees. These areas tend to attract both bass and crappie.

    For a more specific location, consider the Squaw Creek area. This spot has a good flat top near the main creek channel and is known for its productive fishing, especially during the shad spawn.

    In terms of weather, today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high in the mid-50s and a low in the mid-30s. Sunrise is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:45 PM. There's no tidal report to worry about here since Lake Fork is a freshwater lake.

    Overall, it's a great time to get out on Lake Fork. The fish are hungry, and with the right lures and a bit of patience, you can have a very successful day on the water. Just remember to drain your boat and onboard receptacles to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

    Happy fishing, and tight lines

  • Lake Fork Fishing Report February 2025 - Pre-Spawn Bass and Hungry Crappie Action
    Feb 12 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing around Lake Fork, Texas. As of today, February 12, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, we're expecting moderate rain with temperatures ranging from 41°F to 47°F. The wind is coming in from the east at about 10 mph, and the humidity is quite high at 96%[2].

    Now, let's dive into the fishing conditions. The water at Lake Fork is currently stained, with a temperature of around 49 degrees. The lake level is 0.40 feet below pool, which is something to keep in mind when navigating your favorite spots[1][5].

    For bass fishing, this time of year is starting to get interesting. With the rising water and warm sunny days forecasted for the rest of February, the pre-spawn bite for larger male bass is about to kick off. Focus on creek bends, drop-offs with flooded trees, and rocky banks, especially on sunny days. Alabama rigs are doing well offshore around road beds, jumps, and long points in 18-23 feet of water. You can also find some shallow fish in 3-5 feet around channels and ditches using chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits. Viper XP jigs and Texas rigs are fair on big wood near channels in 5-10 feet[1][5].

    Crappie fishing is also picking up after the recent cold snap. The crappie are still scattered, so be prepared to cover some water to find them. They seem to be very hungry, and you can often see them busting schools of shad apart. Artificial baits might be outperforming live bait right now because they sit still in the water, which seems to be what the crappie are looking for given the cold water temperatures. Look for crappie in water deeper than 20 feet, around timber, brush, bridges, and in open water chasing shad or migrating[1][5].

    As for other species, Lake Fork is known for its trophy-sized largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and hybrid striped bass. The lake's diverse ecosystem makes it a great spot for catching a variety of fish[3].

    For hot spots, I recommend checking out the areas around road beds and jumps in 18-23 feet of water for bass. For crappie, focus on timber, brush, and bridges in deeper waters. Also, keep an eye on creek bends and drop-offs with flooded trees as the pre-spawn bite starts to heat up.

    In terms of lures, Alabama rigs, chatterbaits, and square bill crankbaits are your best bets for bass. For crappie, stick with artificial baits that can sit still in the water, as they seem to be the most effective right now.

    Sunrise today is at 6:53 AM, and sunset is at 5:53 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there and catch some fish.

    Remember to always check the current regulations for size and bag limits, and don't forget to drain your boat and onboard receptacles to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

    Good luck out there, and tight lines
