Got a chance to take my nephew out with Matt last Tuesday morning for a little fishing at Tawakoni. Other than the heat, we had a blast. Caught plenty of sandies with some hybrids and stripers mixed in. Came home with a lot of meat. Thanks for a great day, Matt. Here's a couple of pics.

Sweet!

Looks like a nice mess of fish!

nice fish
matt's been on em

Very cool pics.Just a question,how come hubbard doesn't have stripers anymore. Twak is only 30 to 40 min away.Is it the size of lake or depth? Just curious,I"ve seen pics and mounts from Hubbard that show they were there! Info Please..

very nice fish! i might have to try Twak some day soon'

I think that the TPWD did stock stripers in Hubbard many years ago. I do not think the lake is deep enough to promote stripers.

That is a nice cooler of fish, job well done Matt.

congrats, Matt is a great guide and poster on this forum

In the 80's we caught 15 lbers'like you catch 5 lbers now .bigger the bait bigger the fish.in fact that is when the record was caught.Hubbard was the best lake going except for tex.
Now that the summer bite is over I hope Twak has another good fall and winter.

Thanks Brad!

Hubbard still has some good hybrid in it, they are just scattered and stuck in the Summer rut....You can catch a few keepers a day if yo8 are willing to invest the time in them. Try using large gizzard shad and perch out in the deep waters near the dam. Bites will be few, but they will be good keepers. Thats about the only way I know to put them in the boat this time of year on Hubbard.

Matt knows his stuff on Tawakoni.

i thought hybrids stayed in the shallows this time of year.......

There are some really deep shallow spots down on the Northern end of the Southern part of the lake.

Forgot to add the pic of the big fish of the day.

Its hard to be humble....
