Lake Fork Fishing Report - Big Bass, Deeper Lures for Winter Lunkers

# Lake Fork Fishing Report - December 3rd, 2025

Well, y'all, it's Artificial Lure back with your Wednesday morning fishing report for Lake Fork, and let me tell you, we've got some excellent conditions rolling in.

First off, weather-wise, we're looking at that chilly December pattern that keeps Lake Fork in winter mode. We're talking water temps in the low-to-mid 50s after those fronts moved through, and the water's running clearer than it has been. Perfect for targeting those deep-water bassese.

Now here's where it gets exciting – Lake Fork is absolutely firing right now. Just yesterday, pros were landing double-digit bass consistently, we're talking fish in that beautiful 10 to 12-pound range. Those big girls are definitely in a feeding mood as we head into what Mercury pro Marshall Hughes calls the absolute best season for giant bass – December through March.

For your tackle box, you'll want to have a few key presentations. Crankbaits are money right now, especially square bills in avocado chartreuse or black and chartreuse. We're also seeing excellent success with blade baits worked on the bottom – just drop 'em down and give 'em a slight lift. Jerkbaits with long pauses are producing, and don't sleep on swimbaits with a slow crawl along that bottom. Pack some Ned rigs too, especially if you're fishing from the bank.

As for specific spots, focus on those long points and creek channels where you find those deep-to-shallow transitions. The rocky bottom areas near shallow cover are golden this time of year.

All-Tackle records here show just how good Lake Fork is – we've got a 25-pound largemouth on the books, plus some massive catfish records including a 100-pound flathead!
