Lake Fork Trophy Bass Fishing Report 11-27-2009 – Lake Mohave

Posted by | Aug 7, 2015 | |

Right now is a great time to catch big bass here on Lake Fork. While most anglers have put their boats up for the year, there is still a tremendous amount of excellent fishing to experience with little or no fisherman on the water to compete with getting to your favorite honey holes. Wintertime bass fishing on Lake Fork is an often overlooked season to catch a fish of a lifetime and I expect this December to be better than usual due to the lack of cold temperatures in November that normally drive the fish into their fall feeding frenzy. That means there are still a lot of hungry fish out there to be caught this month. A fish nearly 16 lbs was caught by a crappie fisherman recently as well as several other big bass like 11 yr old Calvin Fease”s 11.04 lb Lake Fork HAWG!

Lake Fork Trophy Bass with James Caldemeyer – Lake Mohave

Posted by | Aug 7, 2015 | |

Lake Fork Trophy Bass Report
June 23, 2007
By Guide James Caldemeyer



Things are really heating up here at the lake. With the weather getting hotter, you can expect for the bass fishing at Lake Fork to be HOT as well! Although the fishing this week has been good, these big bass are on the verge of busting loose into their heavy post spawn feeding ritual. Size has been good but the numbers of fish we’re catching has varied. Some days you will only catch a 10-15 and others you can load the boat with these big mamas. Water temperatures have ranged anywhere from 80-87 degrees in the areas that I have been fishing. The water clarity is clear in most areas with some stained water in the backs of some of the creeks from recent run off. Lake levels are currently reading 402.67 with 403 being full pool. The topwater bite has been excellent on yellow magics, buzzbaits and frogs early. And when I say early I mean you better be on the water before the sun starts to come up. Sometimes the bite only last 20-30 minutes then it’s done unless there is cloud cover present. After the topwater bite ceases, I have been heading straight for deep water but you can still catch some shallow fish with wacky worms, flukes and texas rigged worms later in the morning. Best mid-depths are 6-10 foot deep around the grass and timber. Points adjacent to deep water have seemed to hold the most fish and you will also find them in the creeks where the channels bend. I personally look forward to this time of year because of the tremendous deep structure fishing that Lake Fork is known for and it is at this time that you will find the majority of the real big fish out deep on the points, roadbeds, ridges and humps. The biggest key to finding these bruisers is electronics. My Lowrance X26HD is as accurate as it gets when it comes to targeting deep structure. Knowing how to read your graph is critical and will save you a lot of valuable time on the water eliminating areas that are not productive. The deep fish that I have been fishing are in anywhere from 22-32 foot. The key has been a depth change in that range. At times the fish are on slow tapering changes in depth such as hump on the bottom or a piece of structure. At others, they are on steep drops a roadbed, point, pond dam or ridges. These are all great places to check out. Once you mark these fish on or close to the bottom in these areas you are in action. Carolina rigs have by far been the most productive presentation. My rigs consist of 7′ to 7’6″ heavy action Shimano Crucial rods and reels spooled up with 20 lb. Gamma Edge fluorocarbon. I am using a 16 lb. fluorocarbon leader that ranges from 4-5 feet in length, 1 oz. tungsten weight and 3/0 wide gap hook. Best baits have been the Grande Bass Mutant or Rattlesnake in green pumpkin, pumpkin/chartreuse or watermelon red. You’ll also want to try the NEW Baby Rattlesnake in the same colors as it has done well on days that the fish are a little more finicky. Grande Bass Lizards have also done well on a carolina rig with pumpkin seed being the color of choice. A ½ to ¾ ounce jig in black/brown and amber or pumpkinseed with matching trailers has produced on these deep spots too. If you find that the fish are somewhat suspended you’ll want to hit them with DD 22’s, big swim baits, and spoons. I hope that this report has been helpful to you in your pursuit of a Lake Fork trophy. If you would like to book a trip with me to catch some of these post spawn lunkers, feel free to email me at lakeforktrophybass@yahoo.com or just give me a call at (903)736-9888. I am currently full for the remainder of June but have some dates available in July and August.

MINNESOTA FISHERMEN TAKE A CRITICAL LOOK AT PETA – Lake Mohave

Posted by | Aug 7, 2015 | |

(I-Newswire) – On a local Minnesota fishing website, many fishermen are expressing their outrage at PETA’s aggressive anti-fishing campaign. In response to recent posts on My Fishing Pals’ message forum ( www.myfishingpals.com ), anglers from across Minnesota are showing a united front against the efforts of PETA. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other animal rights groups are aggressively attempting to inhibit all hunting and fishing in Minnesota and other states. These groups are intently focusing their attack on sport fishing, a traditional Minnesota pastime. PETA’s message is that recreational anglers cause extreme and needless pain to fish and bait. Their agenda is to heighten the public’s awareness to the killing of any fish or animal. In addition, they desire to promote animal rights at the grassroots level, spreading awareness in communities and making sure their message is visible and heard.

The other side of sponsorship – Lake Mohave

The Other Side of Sponsorship
By: Steve Masters – Bringitbaits.com

It seems that most tournament fishermen are willing to stop just short of selling their souls to be sponsored. I was recently on a website that had several tournament fishermen listed and their sponsors. Some of these guys had eight or ten sponsors and have never left the ranks of the weekend tournament circuits. Out of curiosity and maybe a bit of envy I started looking at some of the pro staff sections of their sponsor’s websites. I stopped looking after three.

Building A Better Brush Pile – Lake Mohave

Posted by | Aug 7, 2015 | |

Building a Better Brush Pile

by Steve Masters, Bringitbaits.com ProStaff

If you really want to get serious about setting out brush piles prepare yourself for some hard work, but it can pay off big later. Bass will use brush piles throughout the year but the heat of summer and winter are the prime times to fill your live well with brush pile bass or turn that 14 pound limit into a 20 pound sack with a big brush pile kicker. I’m not advocating breaking any laws but the ol chain saw and pruning shears method is hard to beat. About the best way to legally get and sink trees is asking someone clearing a lot off for construction for the ones they cut. They had rather give them to you than have to deal with them themselves almost every time. Another way for me at Lake Mitchell was after a tornado had gone through; there were prime hardwoods of all sizes along the bank blown over. A lot of my brush piles are large trees I’ve found floating down the river. If I’m just out fishing for fun I usually have a few concrete blocks in the floor of my boat just in case. You’ll probably be surprised how much you can find to sink if you get in the habit of looking for it while on the lake.
