Hot, Hot, Hot! The temps the last two weeks have just be out of this world with almsot each day reaching 100+ degrees. Not only has the weather been hot, but the fishing has been hot as well. I have been starting most days off shallower around creek channels in about 10 to 12 ft. of water. Then as the day heats up, Im moving out to deeper water fishing structure.
Most days have been averaging 20 to 30 fish with some good solid slot fish mixed in.
I have been starting off in flats off creek channels with grass and timber in that area. The key in these areas is to tie the boat up and throw a Texas rigged worm and let it soak. The fish will basically pick it up an take off with it. We have been fishing these areas with new Grandebass Megatail Worm in Watermelon Red. www.grandebass.com This worm is going to be the new standard in worm fishing. Just make your long cast, pop it back a few times, and let it sit. Most bites have been VERY noticable. Somewill just pick it up and slowly swim off, and some nearly take the rod out of your hand. This has been a great way to start and end my days out there.
After the sun gets up, and things start to heat up a bit, Im heading out to deeper water and fishing anywhere from 15 to 35 ft. on deep structure such as roadbeds, humps, and ridges. There are three baits Im keeping close by for this. First, is a Carolina Rig with a 1 oz. weight and either a Grandebass Rattlesnake in Watermelon/Chart. or a Mutant in Watermelon Red. Each day has been different on which bait they want. The Second, is a 3/4 oz. Black Angel Football head Jig in Watermelon Candy and Pimp Juice. www.blackangeljigs.com Im not catching a ton on the jig, but the bites I have gotten have been very solid fish. Third is both a Spoon, and a deep diving Crankbait for the suspended fish.
Reading your graph can be very important when fishing out deep. You want go over the structure, look, and see if the fish are bunched up feeding, and how they are relating to the structure. Once I find a good school of fish feeding, Ill drop a bouy on them and turn around fish for them with the Carolina Rig. This can really load the boat quick. This last Friday, we hit a roadbed and caught 22 fish off it in less than an hour. So the action can really be hot when you find the righ school. If the structure Im fishing has alot of timber around it, I will go with the Black Angel Jig or a Texas Rigged Worm. Make long cast and crawl that bait thru the timber popping it every now and then. This has also put some very good fish in the boat as well.
I have spent some time out night fishing as well. The pattern I have found to hold true has been fishing lighted docks with brush around them. On these, I have been throwing a 1/4 oz. Texas rigged Worm, either a 10 in. Black and Blue Fleck Berkley Power Worm or the Grandebass Megatail. Now we havent been catching a ton of fish at night, normally only getting about 4 bits in a 2 hour span, but they have been between the 4 to 7 lbs. range.
I had the pleasure this last weekend to have Kyle and Nick in the boat with me and both were able to catch their personal best fish along with numerous others.
Ithink sometimes we all forget about what we do out there, and passing this sport around and letting people share what we get to do every weekend is a great experience.
Here are just a few pics from this last weekend:

Chris Sinkey Spring Report 2009

lfmfr — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:21:03 +0000

You have got to love this Texas weather! One day your in shorts sight fishing, the next your bundled up trying to find where they moved off too.
My report is going to be about the same for both March and April. Mainly concentrating on bed fish, and fish cruising the flats and shallows. The main thing still is “Warm Water” like around 63 degrees. I have noticed in the past couple of weeks, that when the water drops under 59, the bite gets a little tougher. You can pretty much find a consistency all over the lake right now. I fished 3 different parts of the lake just last week alone, and was able to do about the same thing every where I went. Here’s what we are doing:

Baits:
I am basically throwing 3 baits right now.
First, is a sight fishing bait. I have been sticking to more natural colors in craws and lizards. I see many boats on the lake flipping white baits on beds, and thats fine. You will get bit on them. But your natural colors will get you bit twice as fast, normally on the first 2 or 3 flips.
It’s been pretty simple. When I see a bed, the first thing I do is see what the fish does. If she moves off fast, and doesn’t return quick, she will be hard to catch, and you will most likely spend alot of time there. I look for the fish that either just barely move off and come right back, or simply make a quick 360 degree turn. These are fish you can catch pretty fast, and not waste most of your day. Flip or cast your bait PAST the bed and let the bait fall on the top edge of the bed. The reason I say this is because many angler will try to put the bait in the middle of the bed, but then you only have half the bed to work with. Use the whole bed. I am using alittle bit heavier rod this year so I can get them away from the grass and stumps quickly. The new 7’1″ Argon by Kistler in a Heavy action has been the ticket. www.kistlerrods.com This rod will absolutely get them out and to the boat immediately!
Second, is a whacky worm set up on a 6’9″ MH Kistler Argon rod. On these, Im using a Gamakatsu circular whacky hook 2/0 with the weed guard and 15 lbs. florocarbon line. www.gamakatsu.com The bait of choice has been a GrandeBass Rattlesnake in Watermelon Candy in clearer water, and Trophy Hunter in dingier water. www.grandebass.com I am usually throwing this on the colder days or if Im looking for beds. It’s always good to have some kind of bait in the water, even if your just looking around. Make long cast and SLOWLY work this bait back with a twitch, twitch and let it fall.
Third is a drop-shot rig. I am also casting this around the same areas as the whacky worm and using the same presentation with it. On these, I have gone down to a smaller bait, a 4 in. GrandeBass Finesse Worm in Black. I know what many people think, “Why fish Fork with a finesse rig?” Well, in our last tournament, I was fortunate enough to hook into a fish somewhere in the 10 to 14 lbs. range on this rig. I ended up losing the fish right at the boat, on a mistake I made. You can catch some really big fish on lighter rigs on the lake. Not only drop shots, but shaky heads as well.

Location:
The location is pretty simple right now. The backs of creeks is the best place to start looking, then just make your way out. There are fish all over the lake right now on beds. For those that dont believe in sight fishing, you can still catch these fish in the same locations with other presentations.

I would like to take a minute and thank two of my newest sponsors for 2009. Gamakatsu hooks and Black Angel Jigs. Alexander and Townsend brought me on board with Gamakatsu after the Bass Pro Shop Spring Calssic, and I’m more than excited to be representing them. I have been using their hooks since I can remember, and now have a chance to have feedback in products in the field and design process’s.
The second is Black Angel Jigs. Gabe makes one of the best jigs I have thrown and flipped. Strong hooks and materials which means no bending hooks, and no skirts falling apart. I used these jigs a bunch last month, and absolutely love them. If you get time, check out Gabe’s selection of jigs at www.blackangeljigs.com.

Also remember to those of you coming in from out of town to fish the spawn on Lake Fork, I highly recommend staying at Lake Fork Marina. They will take care of you and make you feel right at home. Give them a call or check out their website at www.lakeforkmarina.com for available dates.

Well, here we are. The time of year when any cast can produce a fish of a lifetime for any angler. The weather on Lake Fork has still been a roller coaster like normal this time of year. A few days in the 70′s, then down to a few days in the 50′s. The main thing for right now is to keep an eye on your water temps. The warmer the water, the more bites you will get. We were even lucky enough to find a few fish on beds this last week. So I’m expecting the next few weeks on Fork to just be on fire!

Baits:
-Crawfish colored Rattle Traps in 1/2 oz. and 3/4 oz.
-Weightless Grandebass Rattlesnakes in Green Pumpkin and Watermelon Red. www.grandebass.com
-Whacky Rigged Grandebass Trickster worms in Watermelon/Green Pumpkin and Black and Blue. www.grandebass.com
-Carolina rigged Grandebass Diamondback Rattlesnake in Green Pumpkin with blue fleck with a 1/2 oz. weight and shorter (2 ft. leader).
-Jig- 1/2 oz. Balck, Brown, Amber by V&M Jigs. www.bayououtdoors.com

Pattern:
This time of year is trap, trap, trap, time. Throwing the red traps will get you bit in shallow grass from 2 to 8 ft. right now. I have not been throwing the trap as much, but staying mainly with soft plastics.
I have mainly been switching between 2 in the shallow grass. I’m throwing a weightless Grandebass Rattlesnake and slowly working the bait back and letting it fall and sit over the tops of the grass beds. Also, Whacky rigging a 6in. Grandebass Trickster worm and working it the same way. Most of these bites are very stout and leave no doubt if you have a fish or not.
The Jig and the Carolina Rig have been my big fish baits in creek channels. I am mainly flipping timber on the edges of the creek and throwing the C-rig in any direction possible just trying to get the “1″ bite that can change everything!
I had the opprotunity to show a few guys Friday on the water, the Diamondback Rattlesnake is action. During which, was able to land some good solid 5 and 3 lbs. fish. This is going to be a bait to change things in fishing!

Location:
I’m still staying in the Northern creeks and finding the warmest water I can find. Before the front last week, the main lake was reading around 53 on average, but I was able to find 59 and 60 degree water in the backs of creeks, and the fish were stacked! LOOK FOR THE WARMEST WATER! Thats the key right now!

I hope this helps anybody looking to go catch a few fish here in the next week or so. As many of you know, I’m not a guide on the lake but have fished it heavily since 1989. So my reports are done just to help anyone I can catch fish. And thats what fishing is about to me. Helping the person next to you. It will always come back to you in the long run.

After a couple months off sitting in a deer stand, it feels good to be back on the water again. This has been a wierd few weeks. Highs in the 80′s and lows in the 30′s and even 20′s. For the most part, fishing on Fork has been good. Especially on the warmer days.
I am basically staying with 4 baits and patterns for this time of year.

Location:
I am basically fishing grass beds in 3 to 15 ft. of water in the Northern Creeks and trying to stay on Northern most banks of these creeks. Some days the fish seem to be locked in the grass, some days they are on the outer edges, and some days they are locked on to timber in the same depths. The last 2 trips I’ve had out, the fish have seemed to be locked on the timber.

Baits:
1. 1/2 and 3/4 oz. Rattle Traps in Red with light green flake.
2. Jerkbaits (Black and Gold with Orange bellies)
3. 3/8 oz. Nichols Jigs in Green Pumpkin or Black and Blue.
4. 1/2 oz. Carolina rigged Green Pumpkin Grandebass Rattlesnake

Presentation:
I have been mixing things up a bit due to the weather. For the most part, I’m keeping my boat in about 8 to 10 ft. of water working both the shallow grass and the deeper grass. I have been using the 1/2 oz. trap shallower bringing it back with a steady retrieve, ripping it thru the grass when it comes in contact. Some days its good to let the bait tick the grass and even get caught up, then rip it free. This is when most of the bites have occured.
I am also fishing the Carolina Rig in the same ares and around timber in 8 ft. and shallower. (This set up has actually put most of the fish in the boat the last several trips) I am throwing a Green Pumpkin, Grandebass Rattlesnake (www.grandebass.com) on the end ot my C-rigs with a 1/2 oz. weight. I also shorten my leader down to about 2 to 3 ft.. Throw this bait up to about 3 ft. and slowly bring in back to the boat. Thru the grass, in the creeks, by timer, anywhere you want to throw it, we have been getting bit. Most bites on this have been very aggressive, so HANG ON! I am throwing this set up on a 7 ft. Heavy Kistler Helium II rod (www.kistlerrods.com)with 17 lbs. World Wide Sportsman line and a 12 lbs. Seagar florocarbon leader.
Usually when I get to the back of the creeks, I’ll come back out flipping all the timber in and around the creek channel with the Nichols Jig. I’m not getting as many bites on this bait, but they are definately quality bites when you get them.
For the Jerkbaits, fish these over the deeper grass in 5 to 15 ft. in depth and work them back with a jerk, jerk, pause technique. Play with it. Somedays the fish want a longer pause, some days they want a short pause.
Using these techniques above will definately help you put some fish in the boat on your trips to Fork in the next few weeks. Most days have been averaging between 8 and 20 fish a day up to 7 lbs..

I would like to take a minute and thank one of my sponsors, Skeeter Boats. They brought me aboard this last year, and I have been more happy running this boat than any other boat I’ve been in. I’m running a 2008 20i with a 250 Yamaha Series 2 motor. The ride these boats give you are unbelievable. If you are interested in a Skeeter Boat or even riding in one, feel free to shoot me an email at www.chrissinkey.com (contact)or check out a dealership nearest to you at www.skeeterboats.com.
Hope this report help you on your next fishing trip, and I look forward to seeing you on the water.

Chris Sinkey Night Report

lfmfr — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:02:50 +0000

I had the pleasure of taking Mike Picou, Regional writer for Basszone, and a friend of his Wes from Austin out Thursday for a night trip before the Skeeter Owners Tournament.
We found fish in the grass on main lake points in 3 to 8 ft. of water. Ended up the night with over 20 fish with 2 being over 8 lbs., 2 at 7 lbs., and several in the 5 to 6 lbs. range.
All fish were caught on one of three baits. A Berkley 10 in. Power Worm in Black/Blue Fleck, a Black/Blue GrandeBass Mutant, and a Black/Blue GrandeBass Rattlesnake. You can see these baits at Grande Bass
Bites were very aggresive. If you thought you were hung in grass, you could let it sit there for a second and they would nearly take the rod out of your hand.
I want to thank them again for an exciting and hilarious night, and look forward to having them in my boat again soon.
I would also like to thank Skeeter Boats and Yamaha Motors for getting me there and back with no worries at all.

By looking at some of the current temperatures, I would say Summer has basically arrived. Which really has me excited. This is my favorite time of the year to fish because Lake Fork offers some of the best off-shore structure fishing anywhere in Texas. As the temps increase, the crowds of people decrease. This last week has produced some of my best days I’ve had this year, with 2 days of over 30 fish and a fish over 10 lbs. and Saturday over 40 fish with 15 of those averaging 5 lbs. You just had to deal with high winds each day, which can make it very hard to stay on your deeper holes. There are still plenty of fish up shallow and can be caught early with a Manns Baby Minus 1 or a light weighted fluke or senko type bait such as the GrandeBass Honcho.
Most of the fish we have been catching are coming from deeper ridges and ledges in 23 to 30ft. deep. We are catching some fish on roadbeds, but just a few here and there. The humps, main lake points, ridges, and ledges are putting more and better quality fish in the boat. To find these structures you’ll need to find a good topography map of the lake, and use your electronics to find these off-shore structures. Once found, key on the locations that are not only holding fish, but bait fish and bar fish as well. These fish will normally be stacked on top of each other or in a group either just below the bait or directly on the bottom. The target fish for me have been located directly on the bottom. Use a marker bouy to mark where these fish are on the bottom.
I’m using several different presentations for these fish, but one has overshadowed all the rest; the Carolina Rig. Im fishing my C-rig on a 7ft. Heavy Kistler Helium II rod (www.kistlerrods.com) and Shimano Curado reels. Im spooling these reels with 17lbs. World Wide Sportsman Camo line carried at BPS with a 1 oz. Tru-Tungsten weight with a magnetic bead and a 5 to 7 ft. leader. On my leader line, Im opting to use 15 lbs. Seagar Florocarbon and a 3/0 Owner hook. There has been one bait that stood out this last week and that was the Rattlesnake by GrandeBass. (www.grandebass.com) 3 colors caught fish, but 1 acounted for almost 90% of the fish caught this week. Watermelon Red, Chart. Pepper, and Watermelon Chart., with Watermelon Chart. dominating in numbers and size with a fish tipping the scales at 10 lbs. This has really been the only soft plastic I’ve thrown this week.
Another bait putting fish in the boat is a 3/4 or 1 oz. Nichols jig (www.nicholslures.com) in Watermelon Red or Green Pumpkin with matching trailer. When the bite slows down or stops on the c-rig, I’ll make a few casts with the jig and get a few more bites.
As the summer roles along, I look for more and more fish to move out deep and group up even more than they are now. This pattern will hold up for the next 3 months or so. There are plenty of other ways to catch these deep fish, I just have been concentrating on these two the last few weeks.
I wanted to say a special thanks to my two newest sponsors, Skeeter Boats and Yamaha Outboards. This boat and motor has performed unbelievably in the 3 to 4 foot rollers this last week on Fork. Hands down, the 20i Skeeter with the 250 Series 2 Yamaha I’m in is the best riding boat I have ever been in. Feel free to check them out at (www.skeeterboats.com) Thanks again.
If you have any questions or if you woould like to contact me in regards to any of the above mentioned products or sponsors, feel free to go to www.chrissinkey.com
Thanks, and I’ll see you on the water!

*I want to thank Chris Sinkey for taking time to do reports for the website, he is a competitive tournament fisherman and not a guide and does these reports just to be helpful.* On to his report:

Fishing this last week at Fork has really been incredible! Even with the rains, and slight drop in water temps we have really been putting some good numbers and size in the boat. Early last week the average water temp in the areas I’ve been fishing have been around 53 to 55 degrees. Later in the week, after the rains, they dropped down to around 51. Fished 3 times last week, with one trip only producing 9, the other 17, and on tournament day around 30. Im spending most of my time in Northern creeks targeting shallower fish that have moved up in the grass.
Im throwing a 1/4 to 1/2 oz. lipless crankbait to find these fish in Chrome/Blue or shades of Red. These fish will be on one or the other. Some days they wont even touch red, and others, they wont touch chrome. Throw these baits up in 4 to 8 ft. of water and keep in contact with the grass. That will be the key for most of your strikes.
After finding an area holding a few fish, Ill go back and work the area with a split shot rig or drop-shot rig with a 4 in. GrandeBass Trickster worm. http://www.grandebass.com Throw these baits up in and around the grass and slowly work it back to you. Bites have been very aggresive this last week, so you might want to hang on to your rod.
I did not flip a jig much this last week, but I know that most of the bigger females are just holding out ready to move in at any time. Flipping a jig can catch you the fish of a lifetime right now. Flip every piece of cover lining the creek channels, thesse larger females will be sitting waiting to move up to spawn and the jig will get them to bite most of the time.
With March basically here, I expect to see some big fish brought to the scales in the next couple of weeks, with a few Sharelunkers very possible.
Good luck, and hope to see you on the water.

Chris Sinkey November Fishing Report
Lake ForkThis last week of fishing was actually very good on the days the weather would allow you to fish without being drenched and cold.
Fish are being caught both shallow in the grass and scattered deep on humps and roadbeds around the baitfish. I didn’t have as much luck out deep, so my report concentrates more on the shallow fish.
I have been using five techniques up shallow: Rattle traps, Spinnerbaits, Drop-Shotting, Split shot rigs, and whacky rigs. For the traps, Im using a 1/2oz. trap in either Chrome/Blue or Tennessee Shad. The secret is to keep this bait in contact with the grass at all times. Even ripping it thru the grass every now and then. Same goes with the spinnerbait. Im using a 1/2oz. Blue Shad Nichols spinnerbait by http://www.Nicholslures.com. Keep the bait just above the grass and even bring it thru the grass as much as possible. These fish will try to take the rod out of your hands.
On the drop-shot rig, Im using a 6in. GrandeBass Trickster Worm by http://www.Grandebass.com in 2 color shades. When it’s sunny, Im using shades of Watermelon, and when it’s cloudy, Im using darker shades such as Trophy Hunter or Junebug. I am making long cast up towards the bank and working the rig slowly back to me thru the grass. Bites have been real aggresive doing this.
I am also using these same color baits by GrandeBass on my split shot rigs and whacky rigs. Casting these up shallow in the grass or next to timber will get you bit. These bites have been a little softer. The fish just seem to pick it up and swim off with the bait. This is where I rely on the sensitivity of my rods. Im using Kistler Rods by http://www.Kistlerrods.com. These are the most sensitive rods I have ever had my hands on. You feel everything!
I hope this helps anybody that might be making a trip out to Fork here in the next week or so.
If you have any questions for me or would like to know more about my sponsors mentioned above, feel free to shoot me an email or check out my website at http://www.Chrissinkey.com.

Fishing at Fork has been real steady as far as numbers and size goes. Now that McDonalds is over, and their heads are done ringing from all the boat traffic, I look for the fish to go back to the pattern that they were on previous to the tournament.
I have been starting out shallow around points with grass and lilly pads with grass around them with 2 type baits. First is a topwater bait such as a Blue Shad buzzbait by Nichols Lures http://www.nicholslures.com and or a pop’r type bait such as Yellow Magics or chug bugs. Work these baits over the top off the grass and hang on! These strikes are the ones your looking for when fishing topwaters. The other bait for fishing shallow around the grass has been a Fluke or GrandeBass Rattlesnake http://www.grandebass.com in Watermelon or Watermelon / Chart.. I have been putting a light split shot a foot above the bait to give it a little more action on its fall into the grass, and feel this has helped catch a few more fish in doing so.
After mid-morning, I have been heading out a little deeper and graphing secondary and main lake points for fish holding in groups from 15 to 25 ft. in depth. Im using a Lowrance 113c HD to help find these fish. This graph will show you EXACTLY whats down there. After finding these fish, I am using a Carolina Rigged GrandeBass Rattlesnake in Watermelon, Watermelon Chart., and Chart. Pepper. The Watermelon Chart. Rattlesnake helped me land a 10.11 lbs. last Tuesday along with several other fish up to 7 lbs.. Another bait that has been doing good on the C-rigs is a 6 in. Zoom Trick Worm in Green Pumpkin. The other set-up is a Texas Rigged Zoom Ol Monster worm in Plum and Black Emerald. This bait has been very consistant with catching mainly slot fish. Im fishing both of these on 7 ft. Heavy Helium II rods by Kistler Rods http://www.kistlerrods.com with a 1 oz. weight on the Carolina Rig with a 5 ft. leader, and a 1/4 to 1/2 oz. weight on the Texas Rigged worms. Remeber to still check your normal humps, roadbeds, and ledges, because many fish are still relating to them.
Some fish are starting to move back in the creeks following the bait, so I have caught some fish in the middle to back halfs of creeks on Texas rigged Creature type baits and worms fished next to timber and in the grass.

Hope this helps, and look forward to seeing you out on the water.

Lake Fork Chris Sinkey Report

lfmfr — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 17:34:28 +0000

Fishing at Lake Fork has been good the last couple of weeks with days averaging 15 to 30 fish a day. The key for numbers and size has been fishing off-shore structure such as roadbeds, humps, ledges, and pond dams. Use your electronics to find these structures and see if the fish are bunched up on them, or just to the sides. Even though they are sitting off to the sides of the roadbed (for example) these fish can still be caught. But when they are bunched up ON the structure, it’s “Game On.” I have been focusing more on the roadbeds and humps in about 15 to 30ft.. For these fish I have mainly stuck with a Carolina Rig with a 1oz. weight and about a 5ft. leader. I am using 2 to 3 different baits to produce bites. First has been a Chart. Pepper Baby Rattlesnake by GrandeBass. This bait has been putting more numbers in the boat, but has produced some fish over 7 lbs.. The second bait has been a Watermelon Red, or Ssabednarg colored Mutant, also by GrandeBass. You can find these baits at http://www.Grandebass.com I have noticed in the last week or two, that the days when it is very sunny and very hot; the bites have been much more aggresive. Another bait I have been having success with is a 1/2 oz. Blue Shad Nichols Jig rigged with a white trailer. http://www.Nicholslures.com Other baits producing well have been, DD-22′s, swimbaits, and drop-shot rigs.
I am also catching some fish shallow around grass in about 4 to 8ft. of water. For these fish, I have been using GrandeBass Stick’s and Rattlesnakes in Watermelon Red, Watermelon Chart., and Ssabednarg. Im fishing these on a light weighted Mustad Power Plus 3/0 hook, Texas rigged. Some days, they want the straight fall, and others they want them fished whacky rigged.

Hope this helps out anybody looking to hit the lake for the first time or just out fishing for fun.
Good Luck
