First trip to Lake Fork

Featured Replies

I finally made my long awaited trip to Lake Fork 28-29 Jun, but didn't do as well as I had hoped.  My dad and I had a guide for both days, but the weather had almost shut the fish down completely.  The first day I blanked and my dad caught one small one on artificial, then our guide offered us the choice to use live bait the next day to possibly save our trip.  We fished shiners on day 2 and did a little better.  I caught one about 4 pounds, lost another when she snapped the line, and my dad caught 5 LM and a catfish, the biggest being 4-12.  I had hoped for more but I guess you cannot control the weather.  Our guide did a great job both days trying to put us on fish, but it just wasn't in the cards.  To make matters worse, the picture of the one I did catch didn't take, so I have no proof of my new PB.  Overall, the catching was disappointing and frustrating, but the trip was great being able to fish a great lake with my dad for two uninterrupted days.  It is something I look forward to doing again.

Good attitude.  I guess thats why they call it fishing and not catching. We had similar weather issues back in March for our 1st trip and still can't wait to come back.

      Its was still tough this weekend, but some better fish are starting to show up.    Still got rain in the forecast for 7 days.
