Fresh Fishing Reports from Lake Tawakoni

75 Fish Limit, Striper and Hybrid Stripe

October 15, 2025

Michael W. brought his friends out for a full day trip on Lake Tawakoni. I started off trying for big fish and got a 25" Hybrid. The big fish weren't really cooperating, so I switched to White Bass, and after 3 hours or so, the trio had their 75 fish White Bass limit plus 3 Blue Cats! We went back to fishing for Stripers at that point, and everyone got at least one of these big fish. It was a great full day on the water!

Tripple Crown day!!

John had a coiple buddies and his brother cancel last minute…but now they wosh they didnt! John got his limit on eater catfish, white bass, and hybrid/striper!

Big Trip and Back to College!

August 13, 2025

Michael B. and his daughter Avery decided a fishing trip was in order before Avery went back to college for her senior year. The two were cutting up and talking smack the entire trip. It was fun watching them interact and enjoy themselves on the lake. It didn't take them long to get the 50 White Bass needed to get the legal limit. Once again, I went and found some really nice Hybrid and it was game on! The Hybrid Striper were hungry, and this father-daughter duo put 4 good fish in the box!

Awesome Afternoon Trip

August 3, 2025

Warren and his son James came out for an afternoon trip before school started back up and had a blast catching a nice 50 fish limit of White Bass in short order! After that, we tried to get some striper or hybrid striper. We found the fish, but they just weren't interested in anything we threw at them. With rain on the way, we headed in a little early and cleaned the catch for them. They wound up taking 2-1/2 gallons of filets home.

Tawakoni Summer!

We were fortunate for August in Texas. We had a rainy, cloudy day with much cooler temperature than normal so others experience may be different than others.

Don’t get caught up trying to catch a particular species of fish. Sometimes you just have to catch what is catchable. Catching is fun!

We had read that it's harder to catch catfish in October and November, but Captain Gary knew exactly where they were. Go in with low expectations and be pleasantly surprised?

The half day tour was more than enough time to catch enough fish to fill your cooler with fillets! Be sure to keep an eye out on the weather and dress accordingly, and be ready to net fish!
