TIPS: This month we are structure fishing using your electronics: your GPS and fish finder. Fishing is best mid-morning and with a southeast wind that is less than 10 miles per hour. Look for white bass to stack up on humps and ridges in the mid-lake and lower lake area. One of the best places in June is the old 190 road bed. Key in on old bridge rails and the road bed in 11-15 foot of water. Jig slabs right off the bottom. Feel for strikes as the bait falls. Often the fish will be on the edge or slope of the ridge or hump. Keep an eye out for birds working bait and schooling fish in the same areas. You can catch the schooling fish on the same slab baits by pulling the bait through the school and then letting it fall. Good luck fishing. BANK ACCESS: Penwaugh Marina

TIPS: The crappie will be finished spawning and move out to the brush piles this time of year. I like to focus on brush in 12 to 14 foot of water early in the mornings and, as the day wears on, move out to the 16 to 20 foot brush piles. I like using minnows rigged up on a slip bobber with a bobber stop tied to my line so I can adjust the depth so my minnow swims just above the brush. This method has proven itself over several years and helps you avoid snagging in the brush. When I use a jig, I always know the shallowest point of brush and use the countdown method: (1001,1002 and so on). This keeps my bait where I want it without hanging up. The kicker to the whole thing is if you get distracted you will probably hang it up. For jig fishing I like using a 6-8 pound line so there is not much room for error. Good luck and good fishing!

TIPS: June crappie fishing on Lake Fork is one of the best, if not the best, month to catch crappie all year! The spawn is over, and they move back to deeper water, to the brush piles, to feed after the spawn. I have a lot of brush piles around the lake and catch a lot of slabs fishing the brush. Jigs is my favorite bait to use and best color will be chartreuse pepper or junebug/chartreuse. Crappie will be located in 14-18 feet of water and best areas will be main lake points in Little Caney, Dale, Ray and Burch Creeks.

TIPS: “June is the perfect balance of summer fishing on Lake Fork . Start the day out fishing top waters lures and top water frogs around grass beds.
When it starts getting hot, the fish on off shore structures like points and humps. One way to catch them is a Victory Jig by Finch Nasty Jig Company. I designed this stand up football jig for big bass on Lake Fork. With a screw lock trailer holder that stands the trailer up of the bottom, this is a great jig to choose on Lake Fork. To attract big bass from further away, rig with a Grandebass Air Tail Wiggler. With the Air Tail Wiggler the worm stands up off the bottom at all the times and you can add a rattle for more attractive qualities. Fish this rig slowly along the hard bottom spots for big bites. Good fishin’ to all! “

TIPS: We’re heading into summer and, as the water continues to warm, the white bass will be moving further south down the lake following the old river channel, holding and feeding on the inside bend of sand bars. Use your electronics to find the baitfish and the whites will be close by. Schooling activity will be increasing so keep a Rat-L-Trap handy. As the schooling increases, look for the sea gulls feeding on the bait fish. The whites have usually pushed the bait-fish to the surface.

TIPS: “The striped bass have finished their annual spawn. The fish are grouping up in large schools and roaming the lake in a feeding frenzy. Early mornings, cast top water plugs on shallow banks with deep water nearby. There is nothing more exciting than having a big striper explode on your plug. Mid-mornings, tie on your 1.5 oz. chartreuse, chrome or white slabs. Locate your large schools in the river channels and main lake areas, drop your slab and let it free-fall to the bottom and reel it up quickly. Stay in contact with your slab as fish will hit it on the fall. By mid-month, look for the traditional surfacing top water action in the same areas. Bank Access: Washita point and Texas Flats”

TIPS: Right now the crappie fishing is going full blast at Granger Lake. They are biting all over the lake in any made structure (either plastic or brush). The ideal depth is from 4 to 10 feet. Most of the larger fish are in the shallower water. Some are still spawning in early June and spawn in the 4 to 8 foot depths. Crappie jigs tipped with Berkley Crappie Nibbles do the trick. Just fish vertical and hold the jig real still, suspended just over the structure. If a spot does not produce in 5 minutes, move to another. The crappie are real nice size due to the high water all winter. Good luck and good fishing.

TIPS: The summer weather is heating up and so is the fishing. The white bass are spawned out and in large schools. Starting to see some topwater schooling early in the mornings but not consistently. The best way to catch these fish right now is slabbing off the bottom on points and humps where these fish congregate. They can also be caught drifting flats near these points and humps when they are really feeding. The crappie bite is still good, just having to pick through smaller fish to get a decent cooler of keepers. We’ve been fishing brush piles anywhere from 12 to 25 foot of water using slip bobbers keeping our baits from getting completely hung up and making it easy to change depths per pile.

TIPS: “As spring turns into summer, the white bass top water action kicks in gear on RC. If you get lucky and have a cloudy, breezy morning, you can sometimes have literally hours of top water action with the whites feeding on shad. Check out the south shoreline from Fisherman’s Point to Ferguson Point, the Hwy 309 Flats and the always dependable Pelican Island area. Tie on a blue/chrome Rat-L-Trap or almost any small, shiny bait and skim it across the surface and through the feeding fish. This is about as much FUN as an individual can stand and it’s “”Fishing made for kiddos”” this time of year!”

TIPS: In June I’ll be Carolina rigging shad on 24” leaders. Typically I’m structure fishing early in the day, hitting humps and sides of embankments. Once the sun gets up and the water starts to turn warm, I typically head out to deep water, around 35’-45’, and spend a lot of time on my electronics searching for schools. Once a school is located and depending on size, I figure out how we will set up on them. If the schools are moving super-fast, I like to set up a slow drift, dragging large threadfins. If the schools seem to commit and hold under the boat, we will spot lock and let them feed under us.

As always, fresh caught shad right out of the lake is best. But we also like to troll Mister Twister Curly Tails on jigs. Start the morning fishing the flats, humps and points. Then, back off on the edge of the old river channel and fish the breaklines. Remember that Possum Kingdom is one of only 2 lakes in the state with natural spawning stripers (and the ONLY lake entirely in Texas!). Take a picture of the big ones and release them—they have 25,000 eggs per fish and will restock the lake for next year.

TIPS: “Fishing in June is when I like to start fishing at night. I do not like hot days so I choose to fish as much as I can at night using 10-in. worms with a glass rattle in them. I fish a lot of the main lake points around the dam area. Usually in the first part of June will still find some bass on beds and a lot of post-spawn bass. A bunch of the bass will be starting to school up in deeper water where you can catch them on jigs, spoons, and deep diving crankbaits. To find these schooling bass, you will need to use your electronics and then fish vertically in the schools. These schools might be found anywhere. Start looking at the mouth of any of the creeks and in the dam area. Early is also a good time to fish top water lures and fish until the bite stops. Any flat is a good place to start. Fish fun and fish safe!”

TIPS: Ft. Phantom Hill has had about three years for its bass fishery to recover after catching water in 2016, and anglers have been catching some large fish. Recently, the lake record was broken by an angler that caught two fish larger than 11 pounds. Fishing shoreline vegetation and drop-offs should produce a good bite. Texas-rigged Senkos, darker-colored trick-worms, RatLTraps, and crank baits should work well for bass. This season is also great to catch schooling hybrid striped bass. For hybrids, consider chrome RatLTraps, chrome or white slabs, and blade baits.

TIPS: June usually means that the water is warmer, and that fish are feeding more on the regular. Lots of little fry, mainly shad, perch and crawfish along with baby bass and baby catfish are abundant. Buzzbaits can be productive in the early mornings and late evenings. I seem to always find more bites up the rivers right where the lake ends. Anywhere there is hydrilla there will usually be fish. There are a lot of 3-5 pound class fish in Coleto lake. As a rule, go deep during the day but evenings can produce 6-8 lb. class fish also. Anything bigger is probably lurking in deeper water (main lake). I like fishing for numbers, hoping for a couple bigger bites , just because I like the action . This is where my fluke keeps me entertained!

TIPS: Fish the submerged brush piles off Long Point, pausing the bait or ripping it when you come in contact with brush. Summer bass fishing is at its best so get ready for some big fish.
