Lake Fork 2018.

Headed to lake Fork this weekend. Any certain arm people have better luck on crappie this time of year. Ive read the bridges are always good just looking for some other areas that might be good to try out while I'm down.

I don't know for sure where on Fork but I do know for sure my buds are finding large male fish about 3 to 4 foot under floats in standing timber about 6 foot deep or so ....look for float pitching folks in shallow spots around the lake when you visit maybe ?
and yes I bet the bridge is flat out loaded with staged up fish as well .

Man, I love that lake......Haven't got to fish it in years.

sorry for the late post:I have been fishing under the 154 bridge and doing well. no big numbers but solid 10-20 fish " keepers". the 515 bridge is starting to hold some fish. White oak and Burch have been holding fish (docks). you may want to try some of the docks around the 154 bridge area they will hold fish this time of year.

good fishing,

Thanks for the info. I'll be down early in the morning and see what we can't find. Maybe try some of these spots.

I fished Friday and Saturday crappie bite was real slow for us. We did catch some at the 515 bridge in 20ft water. We also caught some in 1.5ft of water on a cork. We dipped trees in all depths I guess the dirty high water had them messed up.

I'm heading down Friday. How bad was the water?

It was still pretty muddy up on the north end. They also got more rain early sunday morning.

I went out Saturday as well and the muddy water killed it for me. Like you we caught fish in 2'-20' on minnows.

The high & flooding waters sure has hurt us here on Toledo Bend! This is now three years in a row for use to have floods and really high water so they have to open the flood gates. The crappie really do not like the lake coming up several feet fast and then let water out fast! It just sucks!

Skip

Has the water came down much. Or the fishing starting to move up by any chance I'll be down at Fork next weekend. Thanks in advance for any info.

it has but I was up in the Birch White oak area and have seen fish staging. I caught fish on docks in 2-3' of water and in trees in 12-15'. minnows out produced jigs.

How is the summer bite on fork??

I was there last year about this time, we couldn't buy a bite on the brush or drop off's. So we tied on a jig and drifted right outside the timber and ended up catching a few good fish. May be worth a try in a pinch
