Stumps
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.

The water is up right now. Early morning we threw poppin frogs in grass. The farther back in the grass, the better the bite got. Afternoons when the sun came out, we started getting bites on trees and stumps in 2ft - 6ft with a 1/2oz football jig (bluegill colored) shad were around the edges of grass. Bluegill are up shallow starting to spawn in protected coves.
