The spawn is a little behind this year because of the recent cold fronts and the high water. Looking at the forecast, it should be good this weekend and awesome in a couple of weeks. The lake is as full as it ever is this time of the year. This will make more places for the fish to spawn so the first major wave of spawners should have more fish than last year. I have caught a few on beds up to 7 1/2 pounds already, but I don't consider the first major wave of spawners to have started yet. That should be still a week or two away. We were catching fish on beds in 54 degree water before the front hit.
When the front hit, I took a client to Lake Amistad to fish some warmer weather. Unfortunately, the front hit there too, so the fish weren't too aggressive. But it was nice to fish in short sleeve shirts while it was near freezing here. We managed a 7 pounder and several smaller fish, but I'm sure we could have braved the cold and done just as well on Fork.
We are starting to catch fish on a variety of baits. We are still catching a lot of fish on the lipless crankbaits, but now we are catching lots of fish on weightless soft plastics, lizards, and tubes.
