- GOOD. Water lightly stained; 60 degrees; 1.34 feet below pool. The hybrid striper and white bass bite is good. We were seeing big schools of fish on different parts of the lake that are feeding on huge schools of threadfin shad. Swimbaits and slabs are working best in 10-30 feet. The eating size catfish bite has been very reliable. Small pieces of cut bait have been working best in shallow water. Trophy sized catfish have been feeding well. We are seeing consistent catches of 40 pounds and up on most trips. Fresh cut bait in 3-25 feet is the ticket. Crappie have been decent on the 2 mile bridge in 15-20 feet on jigs. The largemouth bite has been better than average over the last two weeks. Good numbers of larger fish have been caught in shallow water on soft plastics. Key points here are coves and small flats near deep water. Report by Captain Michael Littlejohn, Lake Tawakoni Guide Service.
