Artificial Lure coming to you with today’s boots-on-the-deck fishing report in and around the one-and-only Lake Fork, Texas. It's Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025, right in the thick of late-summer transition season at the big bass capital.
Let’s talk weather: We saw a high pushing the upper 80s, a light south breeze rippling the main lake most of the afternoon, and partly cloudy skies. Water temps are hovering in the mid-80s, but expect cooler nights to start shaving those numbers down over the next couple weeks. Sunrise was at 6:58 am; sunset’s coming at 7:45 pm. There's no tide to fuss with inland here, but the weather shift is stirring up the bite.
Bass fishing is fair to good right now, and the name of the game is targeting those suspending fish on main lake points and deeper structure. Early morning and late evening hours are best, with topwater lures like walking baits and big frogs still drawing explosive strikes around flooded timber near the bank. As the sun gets up, focus shifts to deeper water where the schools are stacking up.
Best lures of the week? According to local guide James Caldemeyer, a Berkley Dredger 20.5 crankbait in any shad pattern is putting bass in the boat when burned over deep schools. Flutter spoons, especially the big ones ripped through suspended fish, have also delivered some giants. Carolina rigs with a Berkley Jerk or Lug Worm in watermelon red or chartreuse pepper can pick off bass hugging the bottom. Football jigs like the Santone Lures in Pake’s Perch or JC’s Spicy Craw, paired with a Chigger Bug trailer, are also producing big bites—don’t sleep on those deep stumps and brush piles.
Getting a tough bite? Switch to a drop shot rig with a Berkley Bottom Hopper Jr. in watermelon red magic or shady watermelon candy for steady action. Finesse is key when those fish get lockjaw during high sun and light wind.
Recent catch reports are showing solid numbers on largemouth bass, with several in the 4 to 6-pound range caught off the big creek channels and main lake humps. Night fishing has picked up for big catfish—cut bait and punch bait around wind-blown flats and creeks are your ticket for both channels and blues. Crappie are fair, stacking up around brush in 15-20 feet of water; white jigs and minnows have been the most consistent.
A couple of hot spots to consider:
- **Sledd Creek:** Early topwater action along the grass edges, and bass are lining up on deep humps mid-morning.
- **Little Mustang & Big Mustang:** Classic September feeding grounds—try jigging spoons and Carolina rigs along channel swings and timber fields.
No surprise, Lake Fork ranks in the top tier for Texas bass action again this year, and “Bass Fishing Daily” confirms the bite is picking up with the coming water changes.
