Lake Hawkins - exploring unfamiliar waters

Lake Hawkins - exploring unfamiliar waters - 09/24/19 01:19 AM

Hey TFF

Earlier last week I went out to Lake Hawkins with my son. Only been there once to fish ever and that was approximately 7 years or more and thought it would be a great place to do a exploring unfamiliar waters video. Fishing was tough but we figured out something before time ran out. Hope your like it!

It has been tough on Hawkins for a month or two. I haven't seen them schooling since early June. Good video, thanks for posting.

Thanks - The water is really clear and its probably a better finesse lake. Just love that topwater!

I was there last in june. Wore them out for deep. Best went 6 pounds. I'm still learning the lake but docks have worked for me and deep.
