Fishing on Lake Tawakoni

39th Annual Open Invitational Bass Tournament

The Lake Tawakoni Bass Club is having the 39th Annual Open Invitational Bass Tournament on Lake Tawakoni May 10th, In the past it has always been a 2 day tournament but this year it has been changed to a 1 day tournament.

Saturday morning from 8-11 at the club headquarters we are having a kids tournament for ages 16 and under. They must be accompanied by an Adult, bring their own fishing pole and fish from the bank.  Every child will receive a fishing trophy and prize.  We usually have about 100 kids and the Bass Club has been supporting this for many years.  If any one would like to donate prizes or money towards this we would be grateful so we can continue this tradition.
