Lake Fork Fishing Report: Trophy Bass and Hot Crappie Action

# Lake Fork Fishing Report – November 29, 2025

Well, hey there folks, Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning report from Lake Fork, Texas. If you're thinking about heading out today, listen up because the fishing is absolutely stellar right now.

Let me start with the crappie – and I mean *hot*. We're talking about as good as it gets going into the last week of November. The crappie are stacked up deep, around 25 to 40 feet near the dam areas, following those massive shad schools. The water's cooling down, and that's pushing everything deeper, but that's exactly where you want to be targeting them right now.

For bass, we've got some solid action happening too. Recent tournaments on the lake have shown that jerkbaits are absolutely money in this season – especially in that 8 to 15-foot range around timber and isolated trees. White and chartreuse spinnerbaits with single or double Colorado blades are putting quality fish in the boat, particularly in the shallower 2 to 8-foot water on the stumps and spawning flats. Don't sleep on crankbaits either – red flat-sided models and squarebills are connecting with keeper-sized fish consistently.

When it comes to hot spots, head to the creek channels and drains on the north end of the lake – that stained water's warming up faster and concentrating the fish. The big stump flats where those drains intersect are absolute honey holes right now.

The all-tackle record for largemouth bass here is 18.18 pounds, caught back in '92, so you know this lake has the genetics to produce genuine trophy fish.

Pack some jigs with green pumpkin trailers for deeper water, grab those jerkbaits and spinnerbaits for everything else, and get out there early. Lake Fork's reputation as one of the premier trophy bass lakes in the country didn't come from nowhere.
