Fall Fishing on Lake Worth: Jigs and Soft Bait Trailers for Bass Fishing

Recently, I spent a few days exploring and fishing Lake Worth. It's a Texas bass fishing lake that's not too far from my house, but this was my first bass fishing trip to Lake Worth. While it's known as a large bass Texas lake, it can produce decent-to-good numbers on any given day.

I am a huge fan of rock-based Texas reservoirs or rock lakes. This is probably due to the fact that I enjoy jig fishing so much, especially 1/2 oz to 1 oz football jigs. So I spent most of my time fishing for largemouth bass and spotted bass with football jigs.

I did fairly well, too. Most of my bass fell between 14-16' inches with a couple of fatties in the mix. My two favorite jigs on Lake Worth: All-Terrain Tackle Rock Jigs completed with Hag's Tornado 5' Junebug bass worms. B

Drag, pop, pull, pause ... That's how I used these quality jigs. I highly recommend this lake for anyone who wants to improve their jig bass fishing.

Check out the jig and trailer featured below. Such an amazing duo!

Introduction to Lake Fork

Lake Fork is a widely respected reservoir, located in Emory, Texas, that anglers of all experience levels enjoy fishing, whether recreationally or competitively.  Regarded as one of the ideal reservoirs for largemouth bass fishing, Lake Fork has produced, and continues to produce, some of fishing's largest, most aggressive largemouth bass.  Anglers from all over the United States visit Lake Fork to land that lifelong-sought largemouth bass that reaches sharelunker status.

Due Lake Fork's immense popularity, many angler tournaments are fished on this lake each weekend, even during the colder winter months, when the bass tend to congregate together, suspending over deep offshore structure.  One of this lake's challenges comes in the form of a slot, designed to ensure Lake Fork's quality of fish remains undisturbed, providing a perfect environment for lunker genetics to persist despite ongoing angler pressure.  This slot makes it difficult to compete in tournaments, often forcing competitive anglers to seek 14 inch to 16 inch largemouth bass, which often effects five-fish limits.

Many different fishing techniques and fishing baits are used on this lake: drop shot, Carolina rig, Texas rig, football jigs, shaky head jigs, finesse jigs, spoons, and so much more.  Flooded with an abundance of structure and cover, Lake Fork offers fishing anglers many opportunities to improve their overall techniques since so many different fishing techniques can be used at any given time - shallow or deep water fishing, too.

If you plan on visiting Lake Fork, be wary of stumps once out of the boat lanes.  These submerged stumps are extremely dangerous, so always proceed slowly once you've left the boat lanes.
