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.

05/01/2002 Fork - Cooper - TX, May May, fishing will be good on bass and crappie you will be able to catch good numbers of fish.  Bass will be good in the shallows and in the deep water and you can catch bass just about any way you want to fish.  Crappie will be great on brush piles and under the bridges and you can expect to catch good numbers.  Clothing for the most part can be more toward warmer clothes but go ahead and throw in a few warm clothes just in case a front were to blow in.
