Fishing Since I Was Knee-High to a Grasshopper
I'm Larry Thomas, and I've been fishing since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I fished plenty of lakes around here, but the first time I dropped a line in Lake Tawakoni back in 2001, I was hooked. I moved to East Tawakoni and spent every day I could learning this lake and how its catfish move.
That was over 20 years ago, and Lake Tawakoni is still the only water I guide on. My boat even landed a lake record channel catfish at 29.08 pounds. When you book, you're booking with me directly, and I'll put you right where the fish are. This is a laid-back boat. Bring your buddies, your cooler and whatever helps you relax. The only rule is keep it safe.
