Fishing Report

Body

GOOD. Water stained; 54 degrees; 0.15 feet above pool. Black bass to 2.5 pounds are slow on jerkbaits and crankbaits in 2-12 feet. The bass are in a normal winter pattern. Crappie are slow on jigs and minnows in brush piles 9-15 feet of water. White bass are fair to 2 pounds on crankbaits and jigs scattered around the lake. Catfish are slow on cut bait and livers.

GRANBURY

GOOD. Water stained; 50 degrees; 0.10 feet below pool. Granbury continues to be at full pool and the water temperatures are in the middle 40s on the main lake. White bass are on the move and are being caught on the upper ends and in the river. Some really big sandbass catches to 2.5lbs are being reported on slabs and 3 inch soft plastics. Striped bass to 12 pounds are good on 3-5 inch soft plastics fished near the deeper schools of baitfish on the upper ends. Some good striped bass catches have been reported near the Peninsula subdivision and some are being caught on the lower ends as well near the Power Lines in striper alley. Crappie action is good in town near submerged timber and some good catches continue to be caught in the river near Tin Top.

POSSUM KINGDOM GOOD. Water stained; 54 degrees; 0.04 feet below pool. Striper are fair in 20-40 feet of water with live bait. The water should now be cold enough to try deadsticking, but it may need to drop a few more degrees to really be worth trying. Look for them in 20-40 feet of water. Stay on the trolling motor and keep moving. If deadsticking, stay still and let the fish come to you. Hold your rod still and set the hook at the slightest hint of a bite. The fish are constantly moving and you should be moving too unless deadsticking. Sand bass are fair in 20-30 feet of water with live shad or small slabs and jigs. White and silver are good colors, but white seems to be preferred. Catfish are still fair to good. Fish up the river near Rock Creek Camp. Cut shad is producing good numbers of fish in 5-20 feet of water fished on or near the bottom. Some people like to use cut carp and Buffalo and have good luck with that. It might be worth a try if no other fresh bait is available. Water clarity is steady at 1-8 feet of visibility and slightly stained.

PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 55 degrees; 0.15 feet above pool. Catfish are good on cut bait. Hybrid bass are good on swimbaits.

WEATHERFORD

SLOW. Water heavily stained; 46 degrees; 4.82 feet below pool. Crappie are good in the Crappie House on jigs and minnows. Bass and catfish are slow deep and around rocks. Water visibility is 12 inches.
