Lake Tawakoni

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 53 degrees; 1.87 feet below pool. The unseasonably warm temperatures are confusing the fish on Lake Tawakoni. The main lake temperature is 57 degrees, reaching 60 degrees in some areas. The hybrid and white bass bite is somewhat tough. Some days three boat limits are possible then the next day catches are few. This should improve as water declines to the low 50s. The eating sized blue catfish bite is still good in 35-45 feet with punch bait. Trophy catfish are good in 3-20 feet with cut shad. We are consistently seeing fish in the 30-50 pound range. Crappie are good on the 2 mile bridge in 15-25 feet of water with minnows or jigs. Largemouth bass are tough. If the weather stays warm a few more weeks the fishing for the largemouth will improve.
