I marked fish in the cabelas all day in 20 fow and just stayed with them and managed to come out with enough to finish third. I think in a week or so with steady temps the blues will blow up the shallow water and twok will be its old self again by mid March. Why are we all here? Because we are not all there!

Blame this really nice weather. FYI, it's not just Twok. The fish are scattered on all our lakes in the region.

Michael Littlejohn TFF Celebrity Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 9,090 Lake Tawakoni, Tx	We've fished multiple boats almost everyday this winter and while we've had some incredible days...it's obviously much slower than the last 3 years. There is almost 50% more water in the lake for starters. Plus, there wasn't a cold water trigger that sent the fish into feed mode. So, they stayed in the fall pattern all winter and just didn't eat much. Only days we got the big fish to eat hard were those days the wind blew 30+ out of the north... Nothing more frustrating than having a side scan full of large fish and only get a few to eat when ya know darn well in years past you consistently could get 5+ fish to eat in a similar situation. Oh well, fish won this year and got a good break...a few more weeks fishing for them and it will be channels and stripes!!! For the situation we were pretty happy overall...and like Out Cattin' mentioned...it ain't over yet!

I know all the lakes that flooded multiple times this year or last year have all been tougher to fish than the lakes that didn't flood. Those long droughts with cold weather we're awesome...
