MONSTER CATFISH CAUGHT OVER 80lbs
Monster trophy cat-fishing on Lake Tawakoni continues to prove strong as the water starts to warm up as we head into March.
Fish are staging in the mouths of the creeks and with fresh water flowing into the lake each week, look for more fish to show up. Fresh gizzard shad is the ticket.
Both the North and West arms of the lake are fishing best right now.

September can be a tough time of year to get on some big striper… But Lake Tawakoni is fishing great this summer and we are still catching lots of big striper, white bass and hybrid .
RSR lures there little John slab seems to be the trick… Water temp is still a warm 85°. A thermocline is trying to set up on the lake in deeper water . We are not catching any fish on live bait at this time… Looking forward to October and November to start that again.
Lots of white bass and channel cat fish being caught this time of year…
Fishing Report June 10, 2019
This is probably the longest I’ve ever gone without catching up on my fishing reports.
Been burning the candle at both ends....
Ok, so here goes....
Lake Tawakoni is sitting at about 81°. She is plum full of water and is still about 5 inches high.
I cannot remember a time that the lake was not more full of hybrid striper and white bass. I am blown away with how many fish are in this light. Customers are enjoying huge numbers of great fighting Striper. We are averaging between 50 and 100 hybrid per trip. Lately we have been running 4-6 boats a day and each boat is experiencing crazy numbers.
June and July are great Striper months. Expect to start seeing double digit striper hitting the boat.
Also, the crappie trips are enjoying limits of health fish.
The saltwater craze is right around the corner as well. Looking forward to Port O’Connor 2019.
We do have some availability during the week in late July and August is also available on Tawakoni...August can be great numbers of huge striper and white bass.
Fish are hanging on the breaks in 18-30ft and are super hungry!

What bait to use and using Live Bait to catch Hybrid Striper
|
It’s Striper season here in Texas, and shad continue to be the live bait of choice amongst fishermen. While shad have gained a reputation for being the most reliable bait to land a trophy Striper, there are four things to consider when using them to land that big catch.
1 – Live Bait is BetterStripers are very active fish that generally prefer live bait over cut bait. They are opportunistic fish and will eat cut shad, however, they feed in schools and generally feed in frenzies where bait is alive and running away from them. In general, it’s important to replicate the closest thing that the fish you’re trying to catch would normally eat. 2 – Having a Bait Tank is a Must When using shad for Striper fishing, the livelier the bait the better. Therefore, having a bait tank that can maintain them until use is very important. The right bait tank, combined with proper water and conditioning, can hold your live shad for several hours before using them. 3 – Remember that Striper Fishing is Different than Other Types of FishingStriper fishing rarely has to do with “spot fishing.” In other words, a lot of different types of fishing require anglers to find “spots” where fish live and stay, and they are often able to go back to that spot every day. This is not the case with Striper. Striper cover LOTS of water and can move a mile or more in just one day in search of food. Therefore, the striper fisherman is very mobile and very nomadic in nature. 4 – Brush Up on Your Cast Net SkillsInvesting in a good cast net will provide a way for you to catch your own shad, saving you money from heading to the live bait shop. Make sure to check your state’s local game and fishing regulations, as different states have different laws on the usage of cast nets. For a great variety of cast nets, you can visit www.castnets.com. Fitec Super Spreader Cast Nets are our nets of choice and can be purchased through a listed dealer on their website, or direct from the site itself. Captain Michael Littlejohn: |
