Alot of different techniques are working right now on Twok. Tailspinners on shallow humps will get ya super mag sandies with a fat hyb/striper here and there. Bouncing deadsticking jigs in those same areas tend to target hybs/striper. When the birds work its easy while it lasts but you can't rely on that everyday. Loons are here so when they are feeding take a look. Sometimes they are feeding with hybs and stripes. Today we caught fish using all the above methods but deadsticking stole the show with nothing but quality 6-9lb fish coming to net. Today was mostly striper but did manage a few fat hybs like this one...


Next week is wide open. Come getcha some.

Nice report, Trent. The dead sticking is almost here on Lewisville. They seem to want just a small movement with a slab. I just can not break the code with plastics yet. They will tap it and I miss them. It is only a matter of time.
You are lucky to be able to fish Tawakoni. It is full of huge fish. They catch and keep them before they grow large up here.

That deadsticking jig approach is stellar. One of the best finese approaches that I have seen. It works time and time again especially drifting over humps and schools of shad. I am looking forward to my turn.

Great time was has yesterday. Stripaholic had 4 stripers in the boat before I caught one. He is definatly the master at deadsticking. Went out thinking it would be a tough day after the front, and the fish were hard to find. Also the bite was very light. We missed at least as many as we caught. All fish released to fight another day. Thanks Trent for a great day.

shes a beaut!

Whats the water Temp Trent? Boats at home for a few weeks. (Not PK) May try and run over and stick a few next week.Going to have to hunt up my deadsticking stuff this weekend!

Nice fatty!!

wow congrats and continued goodluck

Plan to give deadsticking a shot for the first time this year. Seems to work great for you fellas. Do ya find 'em on the graph, then drop down on 'em and jig? Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks!

Thanks Don. You might try to lighten your rig for plastics. You'll miss some thats just part of it. Ninja quick reflexes on the tap is key.

I lost my temp on an upgrade download but I would guess 61 degrees.

Yep find'em, drop your jig at depth they are running, wait for the tap, and quick hook set.

It was 62.9 shallow and 61 I 20 feet plus thursday

Very nice, Trent!!

good news !Trent glad to see ya posting hadn't see ya in a while.Tight Lines hope to see ya soon!!!!!!

Way to go Trent.

Did some deadstickin last year for my first time at Twak. There's definitely an art to it. I missed a whole lot more than I caught, but it was a blast.
I'll have to hone my skills out there soon. Nice report and fish Trent!

Thanks guys.

Today was another stellar day. Bite was slow early then 2 hours of steady quality hybs and striper 6-10 lbs.

I've got Tuesday and Wednesday open next week. Give me a call.

Nice fish Jeff!

First week in Dec. can't come fast enough! See ya'll then.

If I wasn't so busy I would book another trip before Christmas, me and Greg were just talking about that. Stripaholic is the real deal Y'all!

I'm ready when yall are KS.

Tuesday was a topwater day. 2 hours of a non-stop hybrid feeding frenzy amongst gulls, terns, and loons.

I'm ready for the December gathering. Can hardly wait. Good friends, fishing, a little drinking, a little more drinking, some more fishing, little more drinking...getting buzzed just thinking about it. Of course that would be after the fishing.

Love that top water bite!

Seriously! 2 hours of top water action. I will look at my schedule for December and call you.

Topwater on tawak with 6 to 8 lb stripers ,hybrids and mag sandies coming to net too good to miss out. Sounds like a country musical.

Fog squashed the topwater bite today...but still had a good day with 3 limits of hybs/striper to 8lbs with some big sandies thrown in. Then I decided to try an old big fish spot that hasn't produced in over 2 years. As soon as we dropped the jigs down one gets smashed! This beast starts peeling off line and staying down. When she finally came up this big comes to net...


She was hooked in the gills so she'll make for some fine eating.

Since they didn't come up today I bet they will make up for it tomorrow.

That's got to be a twelve lb + fish. Good looking fish and one happy fisherman on the right side of the pole.

Nice Trent!! I saw you're customers bringing in fish. Too bad nothing would look at my jig. I'm still trying to figure this deadstick thing out.

That fog was INSANE yestrday morning. I was a bit puckered for an hour or two out there. I could hear boats around me but couldn't see a thing!

luv to fish. If u haven't, I recommend a trip with Trent. He is a master of fine tuning the art of dead sticking. I used his techniques and similar jig heads on Fri at Lake Bport. tore up the mag sandies and netted 6 hybrids to 4.5 lbs. no monsters but the technique was similar.

Yea that fog was eery. Not a good idea to get on plane in that. Too dangerous.

Check out this "would be" 45 lb lake record Buffalo that Kidstriper landed recently...


The girth of that fish was more than his.

Matt dba Kidstriper, will never b the same. He statesd that the pull from that fish was pure adrenalin Matt would pull not able to reel and the fish pulled harder and longer. One helluva fish.

that is one huge fish

I had to chase that fish with the trolling motor to keep it from going to far under and behind the boat. I thought it was a giant catfish. Epic freshwater battle!

That's a beast!

Good googly, thats an ugly beast! I caught a 30# a few weeks ago with Jackson Bean, what a mess..... TallBald caught one a couple years ago on Twok that bottomed out my 50# Grips! Yikes! They do fight like a mule!

Yep that 45lber was caught the day after JacksonBean's trip.

OH MY !!!!!!!Trent ain't nutting safe around you!!!!!!hope to see ya soon !!how's the boat doing lately ?

Boats running like a champ.
