#6844754 - 11/14/11 05:04 PM Last Minute Trip on Tawakoni
*Lakeguide* TFF Guru Registered: 05/09/04 Posts: 13848 Loc: Lake Tawakoni	Hey guys, the fishing on Twok was fantastic today. We literally caught good striper and hybrid all day long. I have tomorrow open and sure would like to fish. The weather system and lighter winds looks like a combo for something secial to happen. Might have to don rainsuits, but I bet it wont be too bad. I also have a spot or 2 open for Wednesdays morning trip. The fishing has finally got not only good, but consistantly good Havent caught any really big bruisers in the past few days, but 4 to 8 pound fish have been plentiful. pm or call me at 214 415 O166 for info. Thanks, Matt! Can even catch a bunch of these, if you like _________________________ www.mattsguideservice.com (214)415-0166 www.moestackleshop.com Voted TFF's Most Handsome Guide 2012

nickandnat Angler Registered: 04/25/11 Posts: 283 Loc: East Texas	Went out with Matt this morning. It was my second time to fish with him. If you haven't fished with him you are missing something special. We went out and all the hybrids and stripers were shut down. That was pretty disappointing after seeing the mountain of fish he caught a couple of days ago. We caught one hybrid and a LMB early on, but then no more bass. Sometimes you get the fish and sometimes they get you! Even though they weren't biting, Matt worked his a** off for us trying to find them, but today wasn't our day. All wasn't lost though; Matt had a plan B. He gave us the option of trying to find the target fish or actually catching some catfish - the three of us all wanted to try for cats. Matt had us on them good; we snatched up half a cooler full in about an hour. I really appreciate Matt being innovative and ensuring we caught some fish, even if it wasn't the target fish. I can't wait to go out with him again.

*Lakeguide* TFF Guru Registered: 05/09/04 Posts: 13848 Loc: Lake Tawakoni	Thanks guys, this week has been a see saw..... Great one day and ho-hum the next. Monday was awesome, caught them schooling and then caught some deadsticking or slow rolling all day long. It was a blast. Tuesday it slowed down, never saw them school but I did catch a few slow rolling and a couple deadsticking. Wednesday was the dead sea for us the first couple hours. I looked everywhere I had been catching them, but they just werent there... After only catching a couple we decided to go catfishing, which turned out to be fun. Today was gangbusters. Caught a limit of hybrid before 8am schooling with a bunch of sand bass. When that played out, we caught a slew of striper deadsticking back where they were Monday Ended the morning with triple digits caught and we only had about 30 sand bass Crazy good morning. After that we went and filled the cooler with catfish for a fish fry. I think I spent 2 1/2 hours at the cleaning table today _________________________ www.mattsguideservice.com (214)415-0166 www.moestackleshop.com Voted TFF's Most Handsome Guide 2012

*Lakeguide* TFF Guru Registered: 05/09/04 Posts: 13848 Loc: Lake Tawakoni	Doug, turn your monitor 9O degrees and it is much better. hahaha The past few days have been a waiting game for the most part. Looks like birds working everywhere, but most are just potlicking off of loon or comorant. Some mornings they are schooling though. Hitting all the deadsticking holes and catching one or two here and there until they just seem to manifest themselves all at once and then it is game on. It was around 1 or 2pm the last coule outings. Mostly all striper! I have Friday open if anyone wants to try it. Looks like light winds and a small chance of showers. Front coming in the next day. Should be a good fishing day. Who knows...... _________________________ www.mattsguideservice.com (214)415-0166 www.moestackleshop.com Voted TFF's Most Handsome Guide 2012
