My tournament partner and I took a day trip out to Fork on 01/14/2023 to start scouting for a few tournaments I have coming up in February. It was a cooler day with morning temperatures in the 30's and daytime temperatures in the 50's, a slight south breeze, and sunny skies. We spent the day graphing offshore finding rock piles, points, and roadbeds in anywhere from 5 - 25 feet of water, and then decided to drag a few of them with a jig, which produced a couple of decent bites like the one pictured. The majority of our bites came in about 10 - 12 feet of water. Water visibility on the lake ranged from 6 inches to a foot, and the water temperatures ranged from 51 to 53 degrees. We didn't catch any Fork giants this time around but the bites we were getting were solid keepers. The fishing was overall pretty slow for us but you can still catch a few if you keep your head down! Good luck and tight lines!

The deep bite has really turned on over the past couple of weeks. I am catching a lot of fish out deep using a multitude of different techniques. Locating big schools of fish can be challenging out in the depths. That is why I really on my Garmin Echomap units to show me where they are at. The bass have been holding close to the schools of bait in 18-28 feet of water. Once I locate a school of bass around the bait with my sonar, I am positioning my boat to take aim with the LiveScope and start firing at them with several different baits. I really like the ¾ oz Santone Lures football head jig. Black/Blue or PB&J colors are good choices trailed by a Berkley Havoc Pit Boss or Chigger Craw. Also, and umbrella rig tipped with Berkley Power Swimmers. These baits will catch some giants retrieved out in the depths!
