Hello,
My name is Justin Margraves I am a full time Lake Fork Guide and tournament angler. I feel very fortunate to have made a dream a career and I take that very seriously therefore, I work hard for my customers to ensure that they have the best experience possible while on the boat with me. Fishing has been an obsession of mine since a very young age and I was lucky enough to have an Uncle that took me fishing and taught me everything he knew, When I was not fishing with him I spent countless hours on the water trying to learn every way possible to catch fish. Now I able to teach the the things I have learned to my customers and watch them use those techniques to catch fish. Taking customers fishing and watching them catch their personal best gives me great enjoyment, the same that I get when taking my 2 daughters fishing and watching them catch fish! Whether you're wanting to learn seasonal patterns, offshore fishing, electronic interpretation, or just wanting to catch some fish I would love to earn your business.
Lake Fork
Lake Fork Reservoir is a reservoir located in Wood, Rains, and Hopkins counties in the state of Texas, between the towns of Quitman, Alba, Emory, and Yantis, Texas.
It was impounded by the Lake Fork Dam in 1980, and reached its normal pool surface elevation of 403.0 feet (123 m) above mean sea level in 1985. It consists of 27,690 acres (112 km²), situated in It offers 315 miles (507 km) of shoreline, and has a drainage area of 493 square miles (1,277 km²). The dam is 12,410 feet (3,783 m) in length and impounds Lake Fork Creek, a tributary of the Sabine River, and other major creeks are Big Caney and Little Caney.
The dam and reservoir with a maximum capacity of 675,819 acre-feet are owned and operated by the Sabine River Authority, a state agency.
It officially serves as a reservoir for Dallas and its suburbs.[1] However, it is best known for its fishing, as it holds 15 of the top 20 Texas State Record Largemouth Bass ever caught, making it one of the premier trophy bass fishing lakes in the world.
Lake Fork Reservoir was created as a textbook fishery, including initial stockings before the lake filled. Lake Fork Reservoir was established, by the Texas Parks and Wildlife, as a premier bass fishing lake, with 732,514 Florida-strain largemouth bass being stocked from 1979 through 1987. Lake Fork Reservoir offers excellent fish habitat with 80% standing timber left intact, and hydrilla, milfoil, and duckweed being the predominant vegetation. Other species of fish include Catfish, Sand Bass, Yellow Bass, Black and White crappie, Sunfish, Bowfin, Gar, and Bluegill. The predominant food source for the larger fish is Shad, Minnows, and Crawfish.
To preserve the great Lake Fork Reservoir bass fisheries, the Texas Parks and Wildlife implemented a protected slot limit of no bass between 16 and 24 inches will be kept, and will be returned into the waters of Lake Fork immediately. A 5 bass per day limit can be kept, consisting of 5 under 16 inches (406 mm), or 1 over 24 inches (609 mm), and 4 under 16 inches (406 mm).
