Going to Towakani this weekend to try em. Any sugguestions on where to start? will be my first time there. Hoping to put a dad in law and wife and kids on the catch. Thanks.

to the TFF! I'm sure the guys will reply soon.

First things first, you need a good map of the lake. Several of the maps have details about the lake (structure, marina's & fishing sites). Check out the points & coves on the south & east end of the lake. Live shad, Slabs, Jigs, & Crankbaits. Good Luck, it will be a busy weekend, and welcome to the TFF.

I fished there last weekend ,Had to work pretty hard for fish .Was pretty dissappointed in the water color it was still pretty brown .going to have to use the graph ,I hope you have GPS. lOOK IN 20-28 FT. OF WATER on the sides of the humps and points.

Caught few hybrids on the main lake humps last weekend on live bait (out in front of Holiday marina and wolf cove).. Caught a bunch of Sandies but had to work pretty hard for them.. Look for the birds.. Good luck

Thanks for the welcome! Loking forward to going this weekend. have heard it can produce some good numbers of whites, hybrids, and cats.Iwill get a map asap.Staying at thousand trails camping place.

I will be staying on the lake with the family this weekend too. I do not know the lake very well but if you want to drop me a cell number by PM, I will give you a ring if I happen to find them.

Yeah, get a map. I usually fish Tawok. quite a bit, but haven't been out yet this year due to too many other projects, and a new baby. But if I were to go this weekend, or anytime it's warm out, I'd start around the Wolf Cove hump or Tallman Reach.

Wolf cove is on the map, and the hump is a ways out in front of the mouth of the cove. You'll know it when you see it on the fish finder, or the dozens of boats likely to be all around it.

Tallman Reach is on the map as well, at the north end of the dam. But be carefull around there. It can get shallow very fast.

The greenville pump station always gets good reports as well, although I usually don't have to run that far from Holiday Marina to find fish.

If it's your first time out there, keep one eye on your FF all of time while running around. There are several points which run WWAAYY out in the lake, and can be very dangerous. Like I said, I haven't been out there this year yet, so I cannot attest to how deep any of them are, or aren't. I just know to be very careful anytime I go out there. And if the wind starts kicking up, get close to the ramp right then. That lake can get like the Gulf of Mexico in minutes. I don't think I've ever been on a Lake that gets so rough so fast.

I'm sure some of the more regular fellas will chime in here too, and give you some more, or more accurate, suggestions. Good Luck.

catfish biting good down by dam

from thousand trails area tallman reach and the humps north of there have been producing and are close by
the wife and I have been catching sandies off the greenville pump station area lately
fishing is almost always good off of sun and cloud point as well

Was on the lake Monday, wind was brutal. Only found fish at the dam. Small hybrids and pretty good sandies. They were on the end opposite the spill way. Down the dam untill you come to some willows growing in the water. Look out 150 yards + or - and you will see more willows. I always catch fish from the dam out to the fartherest willows. Water runs 3 ft down to 12 ft back to 5 ft at the futhurest bushes. There were not any birds. Fish did not do much until 5:30pm. Used 1oz chartruse slabs. Buy some before you go, holliday marina charges out the wazooo for them.

We have been catching sandies real well off Finger point, but that is a long run from where you will be. When I take my wife and sister out we troll in about 16', when it's me and the guys we slab for them in the same area. Make long cast, let them sink to bottom and hop them quickly in.

The catfish are biting real well at the damn. A worm about 5 feet under a cork about 10 feet out from the rocks. I use my trolling motor and move parrallel to the dam. Some areas will have them stacked up, some areas not as much. We usually catch all we want and then some.

Good luck, I will be out there chasing them too.

All are good ares. Just get a map because there are ALOT of stumps in the middle of the lake!!!!!!! With the high water they a just under the surfice. Slabs and 4inch sassy shad are best.

Got into some stripers yesterday in 17ft on the southwest side of Wolf hump out from the 12ft flat. Up to 7 lbs, released all stripers. Had the whites schooling on top off and on.

2.5 hrs produced 34, 7 striper, on bomber 6A firetiger cranks. that wind stacked the shad on the back side of Wolf hump.

Watch the graph, when the bait is tight and vertical in the column, something is near, and when the bait is oval schools, they are relaxed which means keep looking.

Gonna try for some cats this weekend.

nice report hook em
sounds like you had fun
