Late May Bassmaster Elite tournament and lots of things were going on at Lake Fork. In practice I caught fish cranking offshore, on topwater walking baits shallow, jerkbaits on points, and flipping trees and docks. In the tournament, my most consistent bite was flipping trees and stumps in 2-8ft of water with a jig or big plastic worm. I also caught some key fish on docks. Fishing tree lines or isolated trees/stumps around points were key. The fish I was targeting seemed to be coming off the spawn and were pulling out into these areas on their way offshore to summertime areas. I was finding them in transition so new fish seemed to show up each day.
