November 11, 2025 Lake Fork Fishing Report - Big Bass, Crappie, and Cats Biting All Day

Artificial Lure coming at you live with your Lake Fork, Texas fishing report for November 11, 2025. For all you early risers, first light snuck up just after 6:30 this morning, with sunrise around 6:52 am and sunset coming in at 5:27 pm. We’ve got a first quarter moon hanging high, which lines up well with those major bite windows—look for big bass feeding from 5:15 to 7:15 am and again in the evening between 5:30 and 7:30 pm, per FishingReminder. The fall cool-down hit us full-on last night, and we woke to clear skies, a light north wind, and temps right at 51 degrees. As we roll into late morning expect it to warm up into the mid-60s, but water temps remain in that sweet 62–65 degree bracket. Low pressure hung around earlier in the week with light showers, which’s got the shad and baitfish schooling on the main lake points—classic November fork. Bass are moving up shallow first thing, then cruising contours in 8–12 feet as the sun climbs. According to "Bass Fishing Daily," the bite’s been consistent for both numbers and size, with several fish in the 5–7 pound range weighed in by guides over the weekend. One group of local regulars out by the mouth of Little Caney landed a mix of largemouth and a couple of crappie slabs pushing 2 pounds. Main lake points near Mustang and Little Caney have been steady producers, and that timber line off the SRA Point put out two over-8s this week. Best baits right now are the tried-and-true big plastics. Many anglers are throwing soft plastic worms like the Lake Fork Hyper Worm, especially watermelon red and junebug colors—get them Texas-rigged and work ‘em slow through brush piles. For a power presentation, try a 3/8-ounce chartreuse and white spinnerbait or a swimbait like the Keitech Easy Shiner in shad patterns, ticking the tops of submerged grass and creek channels. Crappie are moving up to the 8–12 foot brush as well, going for live minnows or small chartreuse jigs. If you’re after cats, go deep with cut shad on juglines or tightlined off the main lake dropoffs. For hotspots, make sure to check out the SRA Point and the timber edges off Mustang Creek. The deeper ledges on the west side have also been solid, especially late in the day as that evening feed kicks in with the moonrise. Remember, water clarity is decent on the main lake but stained up north, so adjust your bait colors as needed. Fish are definitely on the chew both morning and evening, and with calm winds this afternoon, expect that topwater to turn on right at sunset. A few locals have reported surprise bites on the classic chrome Zara Spook along calm banks after 4 pm. That’ll wrap your Lake Fork report for today.
