Lake Tawakoni Fishing Report 2/3/2023

​GOOD. Water lightly stained; 52 degrees; 0.97 feet below pool. Lake Tawakoni continues to produce good numbers of fish, despite the dramatic cool down we are currently having. White bass and hybrid striper bite is good. Fish are still concentrated on the mid and southern regions of the lake using flukes, swimbaits and slabs. Best depths have been 28-45 feet of water near drop-offs, ledges and humps. The trophy catfish bite has remained decent but with the cool down should turn on. Fresh gizzard Shad is the ticket in 25-40 feet. Eater catfish bite was good, but with the cool down should slow down some. Look in the 15-30 feet of water with worms, or very small pieces of shad or chicken gizzards. Crappie bite has been good on main lake structure in the 25-40 feet of water. The largemouth bite has been slow. Alabama rigs in shallow water using 3 inch swimbaits. Report by Captain Michael Littlejohn, Lake Tawakoni Guide Service.

Water condition, lightly stained; 73 degrees; 3.96 feet low. The water temperature has begun to cool down and the fall frenzy is about to start. White bass and striped bass fishing is good with fish stacked on main lake humps and ridges in 8-20 feet of water biting on crankbaits, Alabama-rigs and slab spoons. Crappie are good with jigs and minnows in brush piles in 10-12 feet of water. The blue and channel catfish bite is on fire. Eater size fish, 1-4 pounds, have been very easy on prepared baits such as punch bait and dip baits. Timber on the north end of the lake has been the ticket in 12-20 feet of water. Largemouth bass are picking up and fishing for them is decent. Topwater lures early then switch over to a plastic, such as a brush hog, has been putting fish in the boat near shallow docks, rip rap and other isolated structures in water 1-5 feet.

​Water lightly stained; 61 degrees; 1.66 feet low. Windy, windy, windy! Lake Tawakoni has been hard to fish this past week with huge northwest winds then an immediate turnaround of south winds gusting to 40 mph. With that said, the blue catfish in the 2-5 pound range have still been good and limits have been reached despite the tough conditions. Fresh Shad cut in very small pieces is putting fish in the boat. Look for water in the 2-10 feet range and target wind blown points. The hybrid and white bass bite has been moderate at best this week mainly due to the foot rise in water level mixed w/ very windy conditions. The fish we are seeing on side imaging are in 25-32 feet and moving fast. Slab spoons in 1oz topped with a crappie jig are working. Crappie are good on jigs and minnows in 1-10 feet of water. The spawn is still going strong. Bass are great in very shallow water on small crankbaits and flukes. Target shallow docks and even try the rip rap around retaining walls.Captain Michael Littlejohn, Lake Tawakoni Guide Service.
