Fishing on Lake Tawakoni

USA Trails / Bud Light Trails Lake Tawakoni Tournaments

Tournament dates are Feburary 6th, March 6th and April 3rd. The early entry fee is $150 (must be postmarked by Monday before the event), and the late entry fee is $160. There is an annual membership fee of $30. There is a $10 Big Bass side pot. Early entries will be posted on the BLT website. Once a team's entry has been received/confirmed, they do not need to show up at the registration location until the weigh-in (their posting on the website counts as their check in).

We will post a "Start Fishing Time," "Stop Fishing Time," and "Weigh In Cut-off Time" on our website one week prior the the tournament date (we use cell-phone network time). We allow trailering at all of our events, so the anglers can choose where they want to launch, go to their spots the morning of the tournament, and start fishing at the designated "Start Time," and stop fishing by the "Stop Time." They then have until the "Weigh in Cut-off Time" (usually one hour later) to be in the weigh in line (which is West Tawakoni City Park for the tournaments at Lake Tawakoni).

The Dallas Spring Team division is comprised of three tournaments at Lake Tawakoni, and three tournaments at Cedar Creek.
