BROWNWOOD
Water lightly stained; 55 degrees; 1.44 feet low. Largemouth bass are good with perch like crankbaits, brown or green Texas-rigged plastic worms, chartreuse bladed spinners, and shaky head jigs near timber, rocky shorelines, and docks. Crappie are good on minnows and jigs in brush piles and near bridge pilings. White bass and hybrids are good on slabs, swimbaits, and live bait along the main lake channels, humps, and ridges. Look for birds diving over feeding schools of white bass. Catfish are good on shrimp, chicken liver, and live bait.
GRANBURY
Water lightly stained; 57 degrees; 0.52 feet low. Fishing is similar as we head into the New Year, but the coming cold front could bring changes next week. Winter is the time for reeling in those bigger catfish. They are biting in 4-15 feet of water on cut shad. Channel catfish are in deeper water using cut bait. Striper fishing continues to be slow.
