One of the great things about keeping a log of your fishing trips is being able to go back to it and see what the fish were doing in any given month and start your next trip using the same pattern.  This has paid off for me MANY times in the past and I am certain it will pay off again.  A lot of people come to East Texas each year from out of town, out of state and even from other countries to take part in some of, if not the best, bass fishing in the world.  Now, nothing beats an up to date fishing report, which we also have, but when that is not available logs from previous trips are hard to beat!  I have compiled a condensed version of my logs that detail the patterns that I have seen time and again on these lakes.  Click on the month that you are interested in to see what the fish should be doing when you get here.

03/01/2002 Fork-Cooper - TX, March March, fishing will be up and down due to the weather because it seems like we get colder weather during March than we do in the earlier months.  Bass will start up the Preston mode and you can catch good numbers and extra big bass at this time.  The choice of lures will be red rattle traps, spinnerbaits, wacky worms, deep diving crank baits Carolina rigs,,jigs and more .  If you can stand the fronts that come in you can really have some great catches.
