Pick an area of the lake and just fish what's in front of you, you literally can turn off your graphs and just fish and you can catch fish. A lot of people overthink Tawakoni [/quote]



Key info in these quotes.....
IF you fish Twok like you fish every other lake, you are going to struggle. Most of the "good looking" stuff doesn't hold fish like it does on other lakes.

That must be my problem. I fish it like I would any other lake except shallower. I'm told the boat docks don't come into play until May so I'm just throwing at no-nothing banks with spinnerbaits, flipping brush, floating worm, 1.5 CB, swim jig, chatterbait. I don't know the lakes around here real well so it seems a spot lake to me rather than a pattern lake, but I could be wrong.

I think it's a pattern lake, but the patterns are just "different". One area of willows holds fish, another doesn', but what is the difference? Is it south facing? The wind in my mind xomes into play a little more often. The lake also rises and falls a bit.

Look for the areas that hold emergent vegetation in the summer, slight (<1ft) variations in bottom depth become highways in vast shallow flats. The bass do relate to depth differently, but we have caught them around schooling white bass, where if you moved the bait too fast you'd catch a white, but if you left it in the willows, you're catch an LMB. That was on a main lake point on a drop from 4-12 FOW, right after the lake came up most recently.
