He's actually being serious about the mallet. For some reason the thumping seems to get the striped fish grouped up. Yes there are also stripers in the lake but I don't think they've stocked them in a few years.

Any reports from Tawakoni???????? hopefully you fellas slayed them!

Yes, Twok has both Stripers and Hybrids. And Yes I believe in the Mallet!!!

Group caught lots of unders and a few 20"+hybrids, few sandbass and quite a few cats. 10 yaks and a good day on the water

that's awesome ! great job! so tell me the technique for rubber mallet please

I'd like to know the theory behind it, how it works.

I thought Shutterbuff was just hazing the hybrid fishing newbie (me) but there were lots of boats out there doing it.

one of my keepers...

Had a decent turnout with about 10 yakkers. Fished from 8-11:45am and did pretty decent. I think everyone caught fish, don't recall smelling skunk.

As we head out to the main lake, majority stay about 3/4 mile from the ramp. While Mike and me headed further out. I stopped and fished at one spot and managed a undersize hybrid before heading towards Mike who was 100 yards away from me. We wasn't marking much until Mike start pounding on his yak. Within 5 minutes our FF were lit up like a xmas tree.

For the next 45 minutes we were hammering the sandies/hybrids/stripers while all these time we were looking back at the group thinking they must be onto fish to be group up fishing together. All these time, we were within 5-10 ft of each other taking turns to bang on our yak. Finally I picked up my phone and "tried" to call the group over BUT I keep hooking up as soon as my lure hit the magic depth. Eventually I manage to call the group over but it was a little too late. The fish disperse. Sorry no pics we were to busy catching.

Looked around for a little and decide to join the boat show about 1/2 mile away. Half of us went close to the action but never join the boat show but those that did caught a few more.

Decide to call it a day and head back to ramp around 11:30am for a few cold beverages. Spent the next hour waiting in line to load up our yaks!

Was great meeting everyone, and thanks for making the trip.

As a side note. I find it comical watching weekend boaters following guides all around the lake. I would see a guide fired up his motor and head to one spot and I would see the rest right behind him. Must to frustrating to be a guide.

Sighs. Sound like I missed out,

Sounds like an awesome T-wok trip.

It was great meeting everyone on Saturday and was definitely a beautiful day to be on the lake. I only managed to hook up with a catfish and a keeper hybrid before noon so I decided to stay a little later. The fish started biting from 2-3pm and then the wind picked up and it was time to go home. I ended up catching 7 more fish and 4 misses. I brought home a catfish, 2 keeper hybrids and 2 female magnum sandies. Not a bad way to spend a fairly warm calm day on the lake. I will be heading back the next time the temperatures heat up again.

Man you guys were dialed in! Wish I could have joined!

We showed up late but did ok. I landed this 25" striper (she got released) and my gf got her a nice blue. We caught some other cats that we kept and some under sized hybrids.

It looked like a hobie convention out there.

Nice striper there Tx.

Nice meeting everyone out there, and thanks for all who helped me out with my first trip to Twok. I've already loaded up on tackle so I should be set for next time.

I'm not used to seeing so many boats out since I fish Lavon mostly, but all were very respectful and shared the water just fine. They weren't kidding about the pounding though...there was hardly a time when you couldn't hear someone pounding on their boats(kayak and powerboat alike), either with a mallet or a broomstick on the floor of their bass boat.
