BROWNWOOD

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 47 degrees; 2.05 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. Catfish are good on shrimp, chicken liver, and live bait.

GRANBURY

SLOW. Water lightly stained; 44 degrees; 0.18 feet low. Striped bass are slow but can be caught in 40-60 feet of water near the bottom. Soft plastics with a heavy weight to help sink it lower seems to do the trick. Do this while slow trolling at 1-2 mph in the main river channel. These fish are holding deep so deadsticking with white or chartreuse will work best along with slabs along the mid lake channel.

POSSUM KINGDOM

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 52 degrees; 1.43 feet low. Striped bass are fair very scattered with few schools. Deadsticking still continues to produce fish on both chartreuse and pink. Catfish are good on cut shad and bluegill fished on bottom. Sand bass are good on deadstick, slabs, and spoons. Chartreuse, pink and silver are all good colors producing bites. Fish can be found from mid lake up to the north end of the lake in 20-35 feet of water. All sand bass and stripers are showing eggs and getting ready for warmer temps to spawn.

PROCTOR

SLOW. Water clear; 46 degrees; 1.69 feet low. Blue catfish are fair in shallow water on cut shad. Hybrid bass are slow on cut bait drifting 10-15 feet of water. Crappie are slow on brush piles using minnows and jigs.

WEATHERFORD

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 41 degrees; 3.19 feet low. Crappie are good at the mouths of creeks using minnows and jigs. Catfish are fair drifting with cut bait.

WHITNEY

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 49 degrees; 2.31 feet low. Striped bass are good in 30-80 feet of water near the bottom. Fish are scattered throughout the reservoir from the dam all the way to the river. Look for fish suspended off the bottom as those are the ones that are actively feeding. Soft plastics with a heavy weight to help sink it lower seems to do the trick. Do this while slow trolling at 1-2 mph in the main river channel. These fish are holding deep so deadsticking with white or chartreuse will work as well along with slabs.
