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.

09/01/2002 Fork - Cooper - TX, September September, fishing will be good, the weather will be great and you can catch good numbers of bass.  September is the month that our slot limit will change to 16 to 24 inches.  You can keep only one fish over 24 inches.  If you like to fish tournaments, you may want to get a guide to show you around and win some really nice prizes and cash.  There will be a lot of money won on under 16 inch fish so come on down and take home the good stuff.
