Tawakoni Fishing Report

Mar 12, 2025

FAIR. Water lightly stained; 51 degrees; 0.62 feet above pool. Warm temperatures paired with south winds have the bite turning on! Water temperatures are currently cold on the main lake around 51 degrees, but the upper end and west arm of the lake are almost 58 degrees. The white bass and hybrid striper are fair and mostly being caught in the rivers, creeks or mouths of both. Look for these fish to return to the main lake soon. The eating sized catfish bite is wide open. Blue catfish in the 2-5 pound range are biting well in 5-25 feet of water on cut bait. Trophy sized blues to 70 pounds are good, with daily fishing averaging around 40 pounds. Fresh gizzard shad and cut drum are working best in 5-20 feet. Crappie are fair on jigs in shallow water. Fish are finally moving up and trying to spawn. Protected coves and areas that warm up first is key. Largemouth are slow, but there is light at the end of the tunnel as the forecast shows warm temperatures for the next 10 days. Report by Captain Michael Littlejohn, Lake Tawakoni Guide Service.
