Lake Tawakoni Fishing Report May 2026
May 6, 2026
White bass fishing on Lake Tawakoni continues to produce excellent action as large schools of active fish move across the lake feeding aggressively. Bingham Guide Service has been finding consistent success targeting roaming schools with slab spoons and electronics, leading to quick limits and steady action throughout the trip.
Spring patterns are lining up perfectly right now for anglers looking to catch numbers of fish and enjoy fast-paced action.
Conditions on the Water
Fishing conditions were excellent on May 6th with temperatures around 68 degrees and a light south wind around 5 mph. Water clarity remained good across the areas being fished, allowing anglers to effectively work spoons through active schools.
Surface water temperatures averaged around 62 degrees. Most of the productive fish were located in 15–25 feet of water, although some feeding activity pushed fish shallower throughout the day.
What Worked
The key to success was locating active schools of white bass using electronics and then staying directly on moving fish using the Spot-Lock trolling motor system.
Bingham Guide Service anglers caught fish consistently using 1.25oz and 1.5oz chartreuse slab spoons vertically jigged through the schools. Once fish were located, the action stayed steady with aggressive bites and multiple hookups.
This pattern continues to be one of the most effective approaches for Lake Tawakoni white bass during the spring transition period.
Fishing Results
The results were outstanding with easy two and three man limits of white bass landed during the trips.
Clients experienced nonstop action once schools were located, with fish actively feeding and responding aggressively to slab spoons. The combination of stable weather, clean water, and active bait schools has Lake Tawakoni fishing in excellent shape right now.
Family groups and younger anglers are also having success due to the steady bite and consistent action.
Trip Summary
Lake Tawakoni is setting up for an excellent late spring white bass season. Active schools are moving regularly, fish are feeding aggressively, and slab spoon patterns continue to produce strong results.
For anglers looking for exciting action and fast limits, this is a great time to get on the water with Bingham Guide Service.
