Trophy bass reports for April 2008 were about 10% above what we saw last April. The weather interfered with fish and fishing and it threw normal spawning behavior out the window! This month we just exceeded 9,000 fish. Over the course of 61 months, we have averaged about 148 fish / month. Of the entries that are weighed, 16% were 10 pounds or bigger, and of the measured fish, almost 1/3 were 24 inches or bigger. Nowhere but Lake Fork!

Then, as if orchestrated by some benevolent conductor, the surface began to break. First one scared shad, then thousands began popcorning through the waves. We had arrived at one of my favorite places - the boiling point. |

 Elephant Butte, New Mexico offers delightful desert getaway
A loon's lonely cry penetrated the cool desert breeze. To the west, a brilliant explosion of gold glory painted the horizon behind silhouettes of the San Andres Mountains. To the east, swam the huge striped bass of New Mexico's Elephant Butte Reservoir. Not only does the remote setting of the Southwest's premiere striper lake add to the expeditionary feel of its trophy fish hunts, it also provides a serene and beautiful setting for one to relax and enjoy a vacation. |

The Toyota Texas Bass Classic will showcase the excellent fishing on Lake Fork that has resulted from innovative fisheries management strategies of TPWD and supported by the Sabine River Authority.
During the Toyota Texas Bass Classic, all fish above 14 inches will be weighed and the top five caught each day credited to each angler. Fish falling within a 14-24-inch size range will be weighed in the boat by a certified and independent observer, and then returned to the lake immediately. |
