Lake Fork Fishing Report: Big Hybrid Bass, Crappie, and Bass Bonanza

# Lake Fork Fishing Report - November 27, 2025 Well hey there, folks, Artificial Lure here with your Thursday morning report for Lake Fork, Texas. Water temps are sitting right around 64 to 67 degrees depending on where you're fishing, and the lake's looking good with normal to slightly stained water conditions. We're in that sweet spot of late fall where the fish are really starting to feed up before winter sets in proper. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** The hybrid striped bass and white bass action has been solid across the region this week. Anglers are finding limits of big hybrids, especially working depths between 10 and 20 feet with swimbaits and slabs. Crappie have been excellent on small jigs and minnows around structure—folks are finding limits by moving from spot to spot, hitting bridge pylons, brush piles, and docks. The crappie population is strong right now, with guides reporting larger fish showing up more frequently. Largemouth bass numbers are excellent with many anglers reporting 100-fish days and occasional catches to 6 pounds. Catfish—both blue and channel—remain a consistent bite on cut shad and live bait. **Best Lures & Baits** For bass, crankbaits and soft plastic drop shot rigs have been producing solid catches. Pros competing at Lake Fork recently had great success with 6-inch YUM Dingers in green pumpkin and purple, plus Booyah Pad Crashers in shad frog colors—both fished in those shallow spawning areas. Spinnerbaits and chatterbaits are working well around grass in 2 to 4 feet of water during mid-morning hours. For crappie, stick with small jigs and live minnows. For catfish, fresh cut shad and gizzard shad are your go-to baits, working them in 2 to 8 feet of water on the north end or drifting deeper sections throughout the lake. **Hot Spots** Target main lake points and drop-offs along sandy flats—these are holding big schools of hybrids and white bass. Also work the areas around bridge pylons and standing timber in 12 to 14 feet of water for crappie limits. Thanks for tuning in, y'all.
