I had a friend captaining his son and partner at Tawakoni last weekend in the high school tourney and he told me they witnessed a boat in their tournament get shot at by a person on the shore. Same boat almost ran them over running with no lights earlier that morning.
There are some real crazy people out there.

My favorite was the boat spot locked on the hammer hole for 3 hours with one kid sitting down on his phone, the other standing up with his rod under his arm no bait in the water on his phone, boat captain sleeping in the drivers seat. Seriously though, last 2 weekends fishing during THSBA tournaments was not bad at all… 99% very respectful courteous anglers.

You'd think there would be a police report with accompanying media coverage if someone is shooting at kids in a bass boat.

Ash, some rando guy pulled over and took some shots at a boat or int the direction of the boat, my friend was across the cove. He saw and heard it and the boat capt yelled, "why are you shooting at us", then a Ta'whack'oni resident called the sheriffs dept and they responded quickly, but rando guy was gone. weird all the way around

Of course people have to throw out drug references. Your ignorance is just sad. I've lived around T-wok my whole life and I never saw drugs until I moved to the mid cities area of DFW. As far as the Boat sitting in one spot blocking everyone for hours... I ran into the same thing Saturday. Rockwall boat refused to yield after changing direction when we were heading in he then put power poles down. He was less than polite.

Through the years I have had almost no issues at any THSBA tournaments. The few I have had have all been with adult teams fishing a tournament on the same lake, but Saturday morning that all changed. We had 1 boat almost run over us, one boat troll in circles around us, and two other boats slam their lower units into a shallow spot on the point we were going to fish after passing within 20ft from us. All while we were power poled down. We were on a point heading into a major creek. Nobody should have ever been that close to us. The cove is literally over a mile wide at where we were. It's amazing to me that people just get out on a lake without any knowledge or research into where they can run and where they cant. It's a miracle those idiots didn't kill themselves or worse a kid this weekend.
On a positive note Tawakoni is fishing amazing right now. Maybe as good as any lake in the state. That lake has some really nice fish in it. I personally hate to see the new development coming in on the lake. Those old docks on that lake are like a redneck southern engineering museum. The only down side to Tawakoni is finding a place to stay. Other than that, it's a fun place to fish.
