Fishing Report (Updated 5.9.2008)

Largemouth Bass: Very good.  Warmer weather has moved fish shallower and fish are spawning in the backs of coves.  For spawning fish flip a Lake Fork Crawdad to entice them to hit.  For other fish target shallow coves using Lake Fork Twitch Worms around Cane Creek, Crooked Creek, Mile Creek, and High Falls.

Spotted Bass: Very good.  Fish the upper part of the lake around Mile Creek and High Falls.  Early in the morning throw a buzzbait or a topwater jerkbait.  Later in the day fish shallow running chartreuse-colored crankbaits with an orange belly in 5-20 feet of water around main points and coves.   Live baiting with medium shiners is also productive fishing vertically over structure.  

Crappie: Very good.  Crappie are in spawning mode up against the banks and some very nice fish are being caught.
