My tournament partner Iain and I fished the first stop of the 2024 Team Trail Outdoors TX Season on Lake Tawakoni on March 2nd, 2024, and we also fished the lake the day before for official practice. During the practice day, it was cloudy outside, with outside temperatures between 40 and 55 degrees, and a slight north breeze at about 5 mph. During the practice day, we caught several fish flipping a jig and throwing a chatterbait around flooded brush, haygrass, and dead lily pad stems in the back halves of creek arms that serve as spawning flats for the bass. During the practice day, the water temperature on the lake was between 51 and 55 degrees, but the fish were already in 1-3 feet of water, as Tawakoni bass rarely go deeper than 5-8 feet regardless of the time of year. During the tournament day, it was bright and sunny out with outside temperatures starting in the mid 50's in the morning and then warming up to the mid 80's by the end of the day, and a steady southwest wind at about 10-15 mph. The water clarity on the lake both days ranged from about a foot and a half of visibility on the south end of the lake, to a couple inches of visibility on the north end of the lake. During the tournament, the water temperatures started out at about 53 degrees, and the bite was overall pretty slow for us for the majority of the day, as we only had 2 keepers in the livewell for about 5.5-6 pounds at 1:45 PM, with several unfortunate missed opportunities at more. At around 2 PM, with an hour to go before weigh-in, we made the decision to go as far back in the creek we had been fishing at the mouth of all day where nobody was fishing, and try flipping a jig into the flooded brush in 1-3 feet of water present in the area, and it paid off. In the last hour of the tournament, we were able to fill our limit and cull out our small keeper from before flipping a jig into the brush and in standing timber, and throwing a spinnerbait with a Mustad trailer hook on it around the standing timber as well. The water in the back of the creek had warmed up all the way to 60 degrees, and the fish had made their push back their to begin looking for where they will spawn. Our best 5 ended up weighing 16.18 pounds, which was good enough for 23rd place out of 219 of the best teams in Texas, and a nice check to start the year! It was a stressful day, but persistence paid off for us in the end, and now we are in a solid position to make a run at winning AOY this year, which has always been our main goal. I'd imagine that with the warm weather we have had since the event, that there are several places on Tawakoni right now where you can find and catch spawning fish, so get out there and wet a line, and never give up! Thanks for reading, and tight lines!

I went out to the lake with a buddy on 04/05/22. The water temperature on the lake that day ranged anywhere from 62 to 68 degrees, and the water clarity ranged anywhere from a few inches of visibility to a foot of visibility. Air temperatures that day were approaching 80 degrees and there was a mild south wind, with sunny skies throughout the day. We spent the day targeting laydowns and brush along the bank with spinnerbaits and chatterbaits, focusing on the back half or third of pockets or creek arms with some stain to the water. Overall, we had a good day, catching decent numbers and our biggest 5 would have went somewhere between 17 and 18 pounds, including a 5 pound 8 ounce kicker (pictured below)! Good luck out there and tight lines!

Keeping a slow steady retrieve with twitches about every ten rotations, my brother and I were able to catch a few off of some points reeling into shallow water.
