At times, we do bait holes off to the side of a tree we use to tie our boat and cast to the baited areas using floaters. "Keep in mind when fishing baited holes that the boat is usually positioned right over the baited area it's easy to spook fish in water less than about 12 feet. "I look for water 12 to 20 feet deep when baiting holes," said King. But the isolated humps out from the mouth of Wolf Cove in the lower lake can provide hot action during the summer months as well. One of King's favorite spots for catching a mixture of blues and channels during early summer is the standing timber on the north end of the lake. The lake record as of this writing is 69 1/2 pounds - but considering all the interest that trophy blues have generated there, I don't expect that record to stand much longer. It's also a great place for catching trophy blues." Lake Tawakoni, though, is about as good as it gets for catching lots and lots of good-eating channel catfish during the summer over baited holes. "They all have their peak periods, and they are all good. "I can't choose one as the best on a year-round basis," he declared. That 1950 International had more foldout canvas tents and cooking tables than today's state-of-the-art popup camper!) (Looking back, I realize that my dad was a bit ahead of his time when it came to creating innovative camping gear. We packed up the old pickup, loaded the camping gear including trotlines, rods and reels, cane poles, iron skillets and plenty of cooking oil and headed out to spend a few days catching and eating catfish. I spent my younger years growing up on a poultry farm in northeast Texas, and every couple of months, when the chickens were sold, my dad declared a holiday. Considering all the rivers that provide good catfishing, there's really no excuse for purchasing "farm-raised" catfish for your next big fish fry! From renowned catfish hotspots such as Texoma, Cedar Creek and Tawakoni in the northern part of the state to Choke Canyon and Amistad way down south, whiskerfish aficionados don't have far to travel to get their line stretched. Texas is blessed with some of the best catfish waters in the country.
