Bass Fishing Lake Fork Texas

It’s a early spring mourning in March; our day begins just at day light, on a cool and slightly overcast mourning. On the way to the lake we discus where we will begin the day an the type of lures and best style of fishing we will use .Deciding on top water to start with before the sun comes up we head just a short ride from the ramp where we launched. This area has an old road bed close to a small cove, we start at the mouth and just inside the northwest point of the cove .My partner starts with a buzz bait and I try a pop–r. The wind is light and out of the south . Water slightly stained, temperature of water is in mid to upper 50`s.
Suddenly from the back deck I hear my wife, she has connected with what appears to be a good fish, rod bowed under the stain of a fish battling to get free . Finally after a few minutes she lands a black bass of about 7 lbs. Gently the fish is unhooked kissed and released to be caught another day .I quickly change to a buzz bait and we continue to fish. There is old weed mixed with new, beginning to grow along and just out from the bank. Suddenly there is a loud splash and both anglers are into battle. A few minutes later we are holding up two nice bass just over the twenty one inch legal slot limit .Quickly we take a picture, and then gently release our catch.
About 10 am. The sun is up and the over cast sky has cleared. The fishing has slowed so we changed to a Carolina rig with a three quarter ounce weight ,a three foot leader with a no. 1 off set worm hook .On this we put a zoom centipede for bait .We move out to the mouth of cove ,a short distance away after a few cast just off the point I connect and before I can land my fish my partner lets out a holler and she also has a good fish on .We land our double and admire their size and weight ,about 8lbs and just short of 21 inches By this time its lunch and time for a short break .Then we crank up and go to Birch Creek, stopping to graph and check a few other spots .WE then catch a few small bass on a hump just out from the bridge crossing Birch Creek and decide its time to head home.
Has been one of those exceptional day’s spent on the water and shared with my partner (my beautiful wife and friend ).Regardless of one’s fishing success ,time spent with a good friend or wife,son,daughter,or grand child can make for a great and successful day .
May your line stay wet! ‘’FISH ON ‘’
