Tawakoni Blues

Loaded up before the sun came up and headed out to Lake Tawakoni for some serious catfishing. I had hopes of catching one over 20 pounds but didn't quite do it. I met up with several guys from the TFF and we fished around for several hours catching some pretty good fish. The wind wasn't blowing to hard so I just started off by drifting some shad and within about 5 min, I had my first fish on. I get it in and I'm pretty pumped now, I re-bait all my rods and throw'em back out. A few min later heres another. After that it was pretty slow. I started thinking, "I have the Navonics Map map on my phone, why don't I try using that." And after that, I ended up catching a few more and seeing one of the guys from the TFF catch a 28 pounder, his new personal best. All in all I had a fun time and might consider heading back down  there for another try.

I've never really used this app the way it's designed, after this trip I think it works pretty good.

The first two fish and I'm thinking, man oh man, this is going to be a crazy day.

After the wind quit blowing the bite shut off, its relaxin' time.

Cold Weather Blues

We headed out to Lake Arrowhead yesterday for a little catfish action. I caught the first one first rattle out of the box and the next about 30 min later off a point north of the ramp on the west side. We caught a few small ones that didn't keep then moved about 50 yards to a flat next to big channel and caught the big one, and one of the smaller ones. The big one came off the top edge of the channel, so we moved over into the channel thinking they'd be stacked up in there but only had a few bites.That was it for a while and then we headed over towards Pawnee point and caught a few more little ones. The lake is real low, theres lots of dirt showing that I've never seen out there, we had lots of bites, and it was really cold. We couldn't catch any shad at our normal places so we figure they've moved out to deeper water.

So after we got back and took the pictures, I texted one to my buddy over in Nocona, he shoots this one back, a 25lb blue and a 34lb yellow, they caught yesterday at Lake Nocona.

Looks like their on!!
