Oct. 31 - Fall fishing on Lake Fork is just about ready to explode. Water temps are dropping to the the mid to low 60's over the past week. A little bit of everything is working right now, shallow, deep and structure. Everyone's favorite, the spinnerbait, is starting to show some numbers along with the swimbait and chatterbait. Location is everything. Straight line runs of grass haven't been producing as well as bare shorelines with scattered grass. Fish will always be in the backs of small pockets and drains, especially when it is cloudy. Look for them on the corners when the sun is out. As the water temps drop into the 50's, lean on the rattletrap. those straight runs of grass should start working

The larger fish are starting to gang up deep. Main lake points are the best target at the moment and as water cools, look at the first secondary point in the major coves. I am a drop shot fanatic so we have been using the larger profile worms to garner the bigger bites. Any 7" or 8" straight tail worm will work, dark colors for overcast and translucent colors for bright sunny days. Find the points that have some architecture to it. By that I mean a small indention on the points as well as a point on a point. There are plenty of those on this lake. Look for the fish to be shallower early and off the sides of the points later in the day. The 10XD should work well as well as the c-rig for these fish. The Lake Fork Tackle Hyper Stick is a great bait this time of year and don't be afraid to use a 3 to 5" swimbait on the c-rig also.

I have attached some photo's of recent trips where all these anglers were able to achieve their personal best. All of these fish were caught on the drop shop in various depths of water.
