What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Alba, Texas for the first time?

Not use to a bunch of county roads that were covered with trees, I'm from Lubbock; but everything you need is there, Stay at one of the two main Lake Resorts, good Italian restaurant just block from them.

Decide if you want big bass or just a lot of bass. If you want big bass then you will not catch many and you need to be prepared for just a couple at best. If you want a lot of bass make that known ahead of time. If you want a lot of fish period then go for crappie.

If you have a choice, go when temps are above 60, and little to no wind, and sunny.

Get a guide. Too many stumps in this lake if you are new to Lake Fork.... Especially while the lake is down so far. Be safe #Stoney #bass

That you can't catch fish every day .So even if you go out there to fish just be happy you were fishing

We were fishing lake fork in Aug. Capt Jimmy was able to put us on the fish. They were tough to pull out of the cover but he was great in showing us how to get them to bite

Get a guide! They will help you understand the lake .and get on fish. If you take your boat on Lake Fork for the 1st time...beware of stumps. Be VERY careful when you leave the boat lanes.

If you are into big bass there is no place like it. Bass capitol of the world. No need to say much more. Make sure you book with Jimmy reardon.

The bite may be difficult but you will definitely learn new techniques for dealing with less than ideal fishing conditions.

Check the weather for the days you plan on fishing. I learned (Courtesy of captain Tim May) that the fish love water temperature when it's at mid 70s.

Be ready with essentials as nearby stores are far and few, good food is hard fine and logging needs much improvement.

The water was cold from the biggest ice storm in a century but we still got a few. Jimmy was great and the guys can't wait to book again!

Yes this was our first time and we will be back. Not only was the guide great We had a great time staying at Lake Fork hotel and marina

Don’t go in March wait till at least April due to weather but that’s never gauratee that weather be corporate

Dress appropriately according to the weather and fish with a knowledgeable guide.

Our destination changed to Lake Bob Sandlin at 6:30am. This was a little further out but worth it.
