Ray Hubbard Bass Club - Lake Fork
Saturday September 08, 2012
Launch: Lake Fork Marina
Time: 6am - 2pm

The tournament for September is at Lake
Fork. Impounded in 1979, Lake Fork has a surface area of 27,690 acres
at normal pool. Lake Fork's reputation as Texas' BIG BASS factory is very
well deserved. More trophy sized bass are caught here than any other lake
in the country. Lake Fork is home to the current Texas state record bass
which stands at 18.18 pounds and was caught in January 1992. This year,
maybe you will become the record holder. Join us and see what happens.
Largemouth bass are subject to a 16- to
24-inch slot limit. Bass 16 inches and shorter and 24 inches and longer
can be harvested with a daily bag limit of 5 fish, of which only 1 fish
can be 24 inches or greater.
Directions:
The ramp is Lake
Fork Marina. FM 515 to FM 17 South - look for sign on the left.
Lake Fork Marina & Motel is a full service fishing resort serving our
guests for over 25 years with the finest accommodations. Our friendly
and knowledgeable staff is on hand to help make sure your stay is enjoyable.
Our facility is located about mid-lake on the west arm of the lake making
it convenient to fish either up or down the lake.
