For big blue cats.... most lakes are capable of producing big fish. Just get fresh bait, and the best time to go is December-march

Tawakoni David Hansen of Little D's Guide Service (903) 268-7391 has been catching hog out of it for the past 30 years. He was on the channel 4 news around 1990. David is the original Big Blue Cat fisherman at Tawakoni. He lives and was rasied in Lone Oak, he was there before Tawakoni was.

Tawakoni and Texoma come to mind first.

But, a couple of sleeper lakes are Lake Worth, WRIGHT Patman, the Sabine River just above Toledo bend...

A few honorable mentions too: belton, Livingston, Lewisville, Cedar Creek, Cooper and Arrowhead.

TEXAS is blessed with some great water for Big blues.

livingston is a big lake with a lot of food, Im sure its got some monsters in it, but at nearly 90,000 acres youre best off taking it one section at a time.
