サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As of November 3, 2024, Lake Fork in Texas is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, despite the water level being about 2.35 feet below the full pool elevation of 403 feet.
### Weather and Conditions
The weather today is mostly cloudy with a high of 75 degrees and a low of 64 degrees, making it a comfortable day for fishing. Sunrise was at 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 5:53 PM.
### Water Conditions
The water temperature is around 81 degrees, and the clarity is good in the mid-lake to south areas, although the north areas are stained due to the ongoing fall turnover. The water level is currently at 400.65 feet.
### Fish Activity
Bass fishing is quite active, especially in the early morning hours. Topwater baits like Berkley Bullet Pop, J-Walker, or Berkley Choppo are working well around grass and points, particularly when targeting feeding bass on shad. For mid-morning fishing, switch to square bill crankbaits like the Berkley Square Bull in colors such as Gilly, Sexier shad, or black/chartreuse. These baits are effective in timber and shallow areas around 2-4 feet deep.
Carolina rigs with small baits are also productive in 7-10 feet of water on ridges and points. For those looking to catch bigger fish, bladed jigs and big swimbaits like the "Nessie" and Cull Shad are recommended, especially in windy conditions.
### Other Fish
Crappie fishing is phenomenal, with fish found in depths ranging from 14 to 58 feet. Minnows and jigs are the best baits, and focusing on timber, pole timber, Bois D Arc trees, and bridges can yield significant catches. Catfish are abundant around timber in 20-25 feet of water and can be caught using smelly prepared baits like cattle cubes or sour grain.
### Hot Spots
- **Timber and Pole Timber**: These areas are holding a lot of bass and crappie, especially around Bois D Arc trees.
- **Bridges**: As fish migrate, bridges are becoming hot spots for both bass and crappie.
- **Main Lake Points**: Early morning topwater action and streamers are tempting active feeding bass in these areas.
### Yesterday's Catch
Yesterday saw a good number of bass caught, including several lunkers, with many anglers reporting successful catches using the mentioned lures and baits. Crappie and catfish were also plentiful, with reports of large white crappie and numerous catfish in the 20-25 feet range.
Overall, Lake Fork is in great shape for fishing, and with the right lures and baits, you can expect a productive day on the water.
