Catch of the Day
Had guide trip on 5/30/10 and fishing was awsome. Caught most of the fish on dropshots. Lake Fork finesse worms in magic shad work the best but robos in Arrons magic and natural shad and orange crusher also worked ok. We also caught fish on top waters, cranks and the Lake Fork hyper stick in green pumpkin and magic shad. If you have any questions or would like to book a guide trip please call Fishermans Choice Proshop at 602-993-1139 good luck fishing. Mike
