Lake Fork Bass Blitz - March 26, 2025 Fishing Report

Howdy, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Fork fishing report for March 26, 2025. Let me tell ya, it's shaping up to be a mighty fine day on the water.

First off, let's talk weather. We're looking at partly cloudy skies with temps climbing from the mid-50s this morning to around 72 by afternoon. Winds are gonna be light and variable, perfect for getting out on the lake. Sunrise was at 7:16 AM and sunset will be at 7:37 PM. Now, being an inland lake, we don't have to worry about tides, but water levels are sitting pretty at just 0.27 feet below full pool.

The bass fishing has been on fire lately, with the spawn in full swing. Water temps are ranging from 57-65 degrees, and those big mommas are moving up shallow. We've been seeing good numbers of largemouth in the 3-7 pound range, with a few double-digit lunkers mixed in. Just last week, a fella landed a 13-pounder near Birch Creek!

For you bass hunters, I'd recommend tossing some lipless crankbaits like a Rat-L-Trap or a Lake Fork Tackle Live Magic Shad in red or chrome colors. Work those baits around points and in 3-8 feet of water. If that ain't working, try slowing down with a Texas-rigged worm or a jig around timber. Chatterbaits and spinnerbaits have also been producing in 1-3 feet of water, especially along grass edges.

Crappie fishing's been decent too, especially around the bridges. The Highway 515 bridge has been particularly productive lately. Use minnows or small jigs around the pilings, and you should be in for some good action.

As for hot spots, I'd say give the area around Birch Creek a shot. That north end's been on fire lately, especially for spawning bass. Another good bet is working the points near the dam, especially early in the morning. And don't forget about the old Highway 17 roadbed - that area's been producing some real toad bass lately.

Remember, folks, with the spawn in full swing, those big mama bass are up shallow. Keep an eye out for beds in the backs of coves and don't be afraid to pitch a soft plastic in there. Just make sure to practice catch and release on those big spawners so we can keep Lake Fork producing trophy bass for years to come.

That's all I got for today. Y'all stay safe out there and don't forget to send me pictures of your catches. Tight lines, everyone!
