Crappie
If you're after crappie near Hawk Cove, Texas, Lake Tawakoni should be on your radar. This lake is a crappie haven, thanks to its abundant standing timber and submerged structure. Spring is the peak season when crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Target areas around standing timber, brush piles, and bridge pilings with minnows or jigs. During the rest of the year, look for crappie in deeper water near these same structures. A local tip: try spider-rigging with multiple rods and minnows to cover more water. Lake Tawakoni can be windy, so be prepared for potentially rough conditions. The boat ramp at West Tawakoni City Park provides good access to the lake. Keep an eye on your electronics to locate submerged brush piles and other fish-holding structure. Remember to check the current fishing regulations for size and bag limits before you start fishing.
