East Fork Lake Evidence-Bounded Fishing Report
The call: Fish the 12:00 AM, 3:00 AM, 4:00 AM EDT window as a conditional plan; this report is not watercraft launch clearance.
Species basis: The LakeMonster record lists Largemouth bass, Smallmouth bass, White crappie, Black crappie, Bluegill, Channel catfish, Flathead catfish, White bass, Sauger, Saugeye, Gar. This report uses Largemouth bass as its presentation reference; it does not claim measured fish activity, abundance, depth, or location.
Best window: 12:00 AM, 3:00 AM, 4:00 AM EDT. Solunar is a timing hypothesis; hourly condition scores are planning heuristics, not bite observations. Actual strikes, follows, or catches decide whether the pattern is live.
Start here: Use the first legally accessible area you verify where observed wind and boat control are manageable. Make the first casts along a shoreline edge or target only after the map, electronics, or your own observation confirms it. No landmark, cover, depth, or underwater structure was verified by these tools.
Throw this: Bladed jig or black-blue jig in black-blue / junebug; slow-roll or hop near a target you verify.
Why this call: Lake-page surface-water value: 75°F, timestamped 2026-08-05T12:00:00+00:00; the future timestamp is invalid for a current-conditions claim. The Largemouth bass temperature-fit heuristic is within_reference_range, not a measured activity level. The selected hours forecast 3.4–4.4 mph wind; this ranks a control window, not feeding or fish location.
20-minute switch: If the primary produces no strike, follow, or visible reaction in 20 minutes, switch to Big worm or depth-controllable crankbait in shad / plum; use electronics to verify a depth change, oxygenated water, or shade before committing. Change only one variable at a time, and move only to another legally accessible edge or target you verify on the water.
Safety check: By 8:00 PM, forecast wind reaches 3.4 mph; use that as an exit boundary rather than extending the morning window. Verify the official forecast, radar, access, and observed wind immediately before launch; leave before any thunder or lightning approaches.
