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. A little sensitive there Buttercup? I would suggest you get your head out of the sand, it's no secret Meth as been running around Twok for over 25+ years.

Anyone who says they didn’t see drugs around TWok is as blind as Ray Charles.

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. Hate that yall got treated that way. I agree with you on how the lake is fishing. Its one of my favorite lakes. I love fishing out there.

I recently had dinner at a burger joint in Quinlan after doing some THSBA pre-fishing on T-wok. The very nice waitress had tweaker marks between her fingers, constantly scratched her arms, had no top teeth, and didn't get half our order correct. But no, drug use in that area is negligible.

That is the only time I have had to change a tire at the ramp area, we finished fishing and were loading the boat and I saw a tire on the trailer was flat. I looked it over and I kid you not there was a hypodermic needle in the tread. I had to have picked it up unloading the boat. That place just reeks of Meth.

Should have returned fire You are in such a bad position and that would be suicide if the guy shooting could actually shoot. You are actually a sitting duck with nearly zero cover. The whole story is crazy and I agree, someone should have returned fire effectively against a crazy person that would randomly shoot at boat with 3 people in it. I just do not think it's a wise move to try and return fire with little to no cover

You are honestly stating you lived in Hunt County, of the state of Texas and you never saw proof of drug use? That is hard to imagine in my book.

Their not all on meth but 90% love the smell of it.

It's been a running joke about some residents on T-wok for years. Many lakes have sketchy areas on them, but I'd put T-wok way up there.
