OPEN INVITE- Saturday December 17th
Here Kitty, Kitty!


I'll do my best to post up some more info/weather predictions & any changes around the middle of next week.

We can meet on the water. Feel free to launch/pull out whenever you want. Some of the best Big Blue fishing has been mid-lake to dam area.
Suggest put in @ D1 or D3 on this TPWD Lake Access Map. D2 closed.

I'm planning on fishing all day & launching close to the dam (south side). Will start around 9am off water around 5pm. Fish as little or as much as you want. Come float with us if your not into Whiskers. The more the merrier

Would be great if someone would volunteer to shoot & post some video.

Suggest U Bring:
Shad (live or fresh frozen)
If not shad Perch then Minnows, Chicken Liver, Dough or Stink/Punch bait
2 way radio (I will send PM w/ channel or post it)
Camera Channel #3
Anchor
Your Heavy Tackle (Set drag so you don't break off & don't try to horse em in)
Sonar - If no sonar or Anchor plan on hanging close or drifting the area


Typically, once the fish are located, the more stink put in the water, the better chance we all have.

Please post up if your looking to fish with us Saturday the 10th.

I just picked up my new ride last night. If I can get her set up by Saturday I'm for sure in!!!!

I haven't been to Tawakoni before. Is there much opportunity to throw a cast net for shad there?

Tawakoni won't disappoint you and there are clear areas for throwing your cast net.

be safe out there guys there is going to be a big catfish tourney down there that day. probably around 40 teams.

Guys, Ryan is right. Think it'll be best if we plan this for following weekend. It will also give us more week to plan.

That weekend works for me. Hey we need to get District Paddle (Dean) in on this. In addition to being a great fisherman, he has some mad skills with a camera too.

I know that's right. What say you Dean?

we need to get a trip together for the red river. man there are some monsters in that system.

Wish I could join you guys. I'll be working that Saturday. I probably won't get much more fishing done this year.

Man o Man, after 3 days of 3 inches of cold dallas rain, a winter day in a small boat on a large lake sure does sound sweet !

Was planning to join you guys and take photos/video on the 10th. 17th will not be as easy.

I'm all over this! Looks like a great time.

Come on Bert, I was looking forward to fishing with ya again.

10 is def no go....but the 17 i might be able to pull done strings and get a day pass! She might let that happen lol

Btw, where was that monster gizzard caught....."I want some"

I'm totally down for this. I may only be able to join you guys for a few hours, but I will definitely try my best to make it.

I honestly don't know anything at all about catfishing, so this will be a good chance to learn a thing or two.

It will be great to have you out there Dean. I hope there will many that show up!!

I have parental obligations on the 17th. Might be able to squeeze in a morning trip but have to be back at home by 2pm. I'm down for the 10th though...

Sounds like a tournament there on the tenth. There might be a lot of boat traffic then Ren.
I'm thinking seriously about hitting Texoma on the 10th.

I'll have to run it by the wife, but I might be able to make it. So it's going to be the 17th at Tawok?

17th

As of now I'm in. I'll see if I can recruit a few more. I'll be praying for nice weather as well.

How deeps the water out there, I might have to rig up a different anchor, how about a drift sock?

Kind of answered that question. I've never seen so many hump, that place looks nuts.

Check the wind before you go, and make sure you bring your drift anchors.

Launch in a spot with the wind in your face so you don't have that far to paddle and y'all be careful. Tawok is no joke. Two years ago a co-worker died out there.
