Tawakoni Fishing Report
- Apr 17, 2024
- GREAT. Water lightly stained; 66 degrees; 1.14 feet above pool. There has been a major shift in our hybrid striper and white bass action. Fish are moving shallow and staging up to spawn. Look for wind blown points and gulls giving away locations of feeding fish. Swimbaits are the ticket right now in 3-10 feet. The eating size catfish bite is red hot. Cut shad and buffalo have been putting limits of blue catfish in the boat. Target the wind blown points in 3 feet. Channel catfish are being caught over baited holes in 18-25 feet. These fish are also moving up shallow and can be caught in 2-5 feet under bobbers. These fish are being caught on prepared bait such as punch bait. Crappie are good. These fish are in their final stages of the spawn. We are still seeing fish shallow and being caught on jigs under bobbers. We are also starting to see post spawn fish setting up on shallow brush and bridge pylons in 8-14 feet. Largemouth bass bite is great. With the shad spawn starting, look for active bass on rip rap and shallow dock posts. Fish are being caught on shallow cranks and spinner baits. Report by Captain Michael Littlejohn, Lake Tawakoni Guide Service.
