David Vance’s Lake Fork Fishing Report – Lake Mohave

David Vance’s Lake Fork Report
The fishing
this week has been good on Deep Diving Crank baits and a Carolina Rig.
The Norman DD 22 has worked best for me color chartreuses with a blue
back. Water depth 15 to 25 feet. Good places that are producing good
fish, are the old road beds, 515 east & 515 west, and main lake
points and humps. Today we had 33 bass, 8 of these bass came on the
crank bait and the rest on a Carolina Rig best baits for me have been a
Watermelon Seed fluke and a Watermelon Seed Centipede. At this time, I
am using a 1 oz weight with a three foot leader line size 15 pound
test. The top water bite has been off and on the past few days. The top
water action that we have had in the last week have come on a shad
colored Pop R and a Zara Spook. Most of these bass have been chasing
shad to the top, early in the morning. The bass are in a solid summer
pattern. So if you are coming to lake fork, the deep water pattern will
be the most consistent, for most of the day. If you would like to book
a Day or Night trip you can call me at 903-629-7699 http://www.lakeforktexasfishingreports.com

especially if you live in East Texas. It’s hard to imagine that many of
our neighbors are still trying to recover from the effects of Hurricane
Rita, or that local politics has become a circus, and that Toledo Bend
Lake, the jewel of East Texas, is more than 10-feet low – and still
falling.
