BROWNWOOD
FAIR. Water stained; 50 degrees; 0.07 feet above pool. Black bass to 6.41 pounds are excellent on squarebill crankbaits in 2-4 feet of water and on jigs around bait balls in open water. Crappie are slow on jigs and minnows in brush piles 10-15 feet of water. White bass are good with catches up to 2 pounds scattered throughout the lake with crankbaits and Alabama rig. Catfish are slow on cut bait and livers.
GRANBURY
GOOD. Water stained; 50 degrees; 0.16 feet below pool. Granbury water temperatures have fallen to the middle 40s. Lake levels are normal. Some good sand bass catches have been reported in the river near Tin Top on 3 inch soft plastics bounced on the bottom. Striped bass are good to 12 pounds on flukes and bass assassins fished near the river channel from Indian Harbor to the Peninsula. Some good striped bass catches have also been reported in Striper alley in 25-40 feet of water. Blue and yellow catfish are good on cut shad fished on the upper ends near Hunter Park. Some big catfish to 20-30 pounds are possible. Crappie action continues to be good in deep water near submerged structures. Good crappies are also being caught in the river near Tin Top on small jigs. Largemouth bass are being caught near major creek entrances and in deeper holes in the river above Granbury. Slow presentation of soft plastics is a preferred option this time of the year.
POSSUM KINGDOM FAIR. Water stained; 47 degrees; 0.10 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.
PROCTOR
FAIR. Water stained; 45 degrees; 0.11 feet above pool. Catfish are good on cut bait. Hybrid bass are good on swimbaits.
WEATHERFORD
SLOW. Water heavily stained; 43 degrees; 4.91 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.
