Thunder Cove Guide Service

West Tawakoni, United States
10+ reviews
After fishing Lake Tawakoni for over 30 years, I can testify that this lake has it all. Deep open water, deep timber, shallow water, and humps. Giant Blue Cat, Channel Cat, Flat Head as well as Striped Bass, Black Bass, and Crappie. Since retiring from the dairy industry I have devoted the last six years to fishing Lake Tawakoni exclusively. I love taking kids out and getting them into fishing. There's nothing quite like landing a giant trophy Blue Cat. I am the owner and guide at Thunder Cove Guide Service. My goal is to make each trip both productive and enjoyable for everyone aboard. I am constantly updating equipment so you have the latest tech on your side. Looking forward to taking you and your family out fishing. Thanks, Captain Tony

    First Trophy Blue Cat 🐟

    3/4 Day Trip – Trophy Blue Cat - 6:00 AM • 2 adults

    We were looking to land our first trophy Blue Catfish and came across Thunder Cove. Hunting for trophies requires alot of patience, Tony was great to conversate while we waited for the big moment. He was also changing spots frequently to make sure we were giving ourselves the best chances. Also didn’t get bothered that I was asking him what he was using and the type of tackle it takes to land these monsters. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book their next catfish adventure.

    Reported catch:
