  • Summary

  • As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Fork, Texas, is looking exceptionally promising. Here’s what you need to know:

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    The water temperature is around 81 degrees, and the lake is slightly stained with a level 2.22 feet below pool. The weather is mild, making it ideal for a day on the water.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at about 6:53 AM, and sunset will be around 5:13 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

    ### Fish Activity
    Bass fishing is good, especially in the mid-morning. Use topwaters and small spinnerbaits in the 3-5 feet range on flats. Shaky Heads around docks and shallow ridges in 5-7 feet are also effective. Carolina rigs on long points and ridges in 5-10 feet are catching fish as well[1][3][4].

    Crappie fishing is phenomenal, with fish found in depths from 14-58 feet. Black crappie are grouped up in numbers, and huge white crappie are also being caught. Focus on timber, pole timber, and Bois D Arc trees, as well as areas around bridges where they migrate. Minnows are the best bait, but jigs will also work[1][3][4].

    Catfish are incredibly active, particularly in the 20-25 feet range around timber. Dropping cattle cubes or sour grain can get you catching fish within 30 minutes on any prepared catfish bait[1][3][4].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Timber and Pole Timber**: These areas are loaded with crappie and catfish.
    - **Bridges**: Crappie tend to hold here as they migrate.
    - **Docks and Shallow Ridges**: Good spots for bass using Shaky Heads.
    - **Long Points and Ridges**: Effective for bass with Carolina rigs.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, use topwaters, small spinnerbaits, 1.5 inch squarebill crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, Shaky Heads, and Carolina rigs. For crappie, minnows and jigs are the way to go. For catfish, any prepared bait after dropping cattle cubes or sour grain will be effective.

    Overall, Lake Fork is offering some of the best fishing conditions right now, so make sure to take advantage of it.
