September 2026 kicked off with a BANG! I always look forward to Opening Day and it signifies the start of another great hunting season. It reminds me of the joke, “little Johnny’s teacher asked him if he could name the four seasons of the year? Yes mam, let’s see there’s Dove season, squirrel season, deer season and then duck season.” The 2026 Dove season opened Tuesday and I hunted with friends, Mike and John Perkins and we all got our limits. The weather was hot and the birds were best close to watering holes. I have hunted opening day for close to 70 years now and some have been in over 100° temperature days but every one is memorable and marks the beginning of my favorite time of the year.
Let the rains begin and temperatures cool off and enjoy the the first season of the year. The fish will be biting better and it is a great time to be outdoors.

Joe Ferguson and his friend Bob Loretelli from CA joined me this morning. We caught a couple of nice under the slot bass in shallow grass early and a half dozen baby bass and then tried a few deep structure holes. Joe caught a couple of good ones and Bob had a nice one get off. We need some rain and cooler weather and then the bite should pick up.

Today the weather was still hot but the fishing was not. After a fairly good morning bite yesterday we did not get much action this morning on the shallows. Blake Snow and Travis Hengst joined me this morning and we did our best to locate some big bass. Travis caught a 7.35 and Blake had one around 4 and then tricked a 7 lber. We only boated a total of 6 bass and Blake and Travis fished hard and never gave up. They both have fished Fork numerous times so they knew the late summer bite can be fickle. We finally thought in the towel at 2 pm when the temps hit 104°. I am ready for a cool front and an end to this summer heat.

Finally, we get a cool cloudy morning with a few rain drops. Even the bass felt better and decided to play.

Sure would like to get in on a good opening day DOVE shoot on Sept. 1st. Does anyone know of a good dove field that may have room for one or two more hunters? Will trade a fishing trip for an invite to shoot doves.

We launched at daylight this morning looking for some shallow bass. The grass was full of bait but didn’t find many bass willing to bite. Picked up a crappie jig and caught a few for lunch. Nothing like fresh fried fish!

Some days you just get lucky and pick the best fishing spot and lure and the bass are ready to bite. This morning Rowdy Starnes and Sam Trinca joined me for an early morning start but although we launched the boat before daybreak, there was already a boat on our favorite spot. We pulled up on spot number two and the bite was fast and furious. We figured out the best bait and retrieve and then it was fast and furious action all morning long. We ended up boating 112 bass by 11:00 a.m. and left them biting. No big ones today but the fast action made up for size. I had one last “vision” and made a lure change and we caught bass on almost every cast. Just made a large Tackle Warehouse order! Who wants to learn the secret?

Going to be a good day. 32 bass so far and not even 7 am

After enjoying a couple of weeks off Lake Fork and away from the heat, it was a good day to check out some of my big bass spots. My Sister Mary Jo and her husband Dave let me guide them in her boat this morning and we found a few big bass ready to bite. We actually saw a good many bass on several different spots and I think the deep bite may be back on good enough to welcome back some customers for some half day trips. Give me a call if you want to boat some big bass. We can also get into some crappie and white bass.

After a couple of slower days earlier this week I was honest with my weekend customers that the bite may not be very good. Well Jon Harvey and family from MS were in the area for a few days to watch a Texas Ranger game and he wanted to treat his boys Will, Nick and Spencer to a bass fishing trip on Lake Fork. Today was the boys’ first ever guided bass fishing trip and first time in a bass boat. The bass were in a good mood today and we ended up with a very productive half day. Everyone caught their PB today and Nick pulled in a 8.65 and a 7.31 bass. Our best 6 bass weighed 38.65 lbs!
