The wind was fierce all week this week, but I made a couple of trips to Lake Fork anyway. Monday was a howling south wind, with main lake water temps in the lower 50’s, and just like last week, there were some shallow cruising bass, but none that would hold a bed and take a bait.

Thursday was a very chilly morning with the wind whipping from the northwest. My favorite area is a bit better protected from that, and even though the morning water temps were just as cold as Monday, I figured the warmer weather in between would finally have a few lower lake bass on the beds, and I was right. It was still very tough, and I only caught 5 bass, but two of them were 4 pounders, and I had to call the day a fun one.

No monster bass Thursday. This 4.46 pounder was the best fish of the day.
