Fishing Report

Body

BROWNWOOD

FAIR. Water stained; 50 degrees; 0.00 feet above pool. Black bass to 9 pounds are good on jigs around bait balls in open water, and squarebill crankbaits in 2-4 feet of water. Crappie are slow on jigs and minnows in brush piles 13-18 feet of water. White bass to 2.5 pounds are good on minnow style baits and Alabama rigs scattered around the lake. Catfish are slow on cut bait and livers.

GRANBURY

GOOD. Water stained; 45 degrees; 0.22 feet below pool. Granbury water temperatures vary from the low to middle 40s. Lake levels are full and the water clarity is good. Largemouth bass fishing is excellent on soft plastics fished near docks and main lake points. Striped bass and sand bass continue to be located mainly near deeper water where the baitfish are holding. Some good catches have been reported on the upper ends near Hunter Park and many are still on the lower ends in 40 feet of water. Crappie action is good as well with the abundance of fish deeper especially on those colder days. Blue and yellow catfish are good on cut bait fished on the upper ends.

POSSUM KINGDOM FAIR. Water stained; 47 degrees; 0.18 feet below pool. Striper are fair in 20-40 feet of water with live bait, or deadsticking with jig heads and fluke tails. 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 fair to good 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; 45 degrees; 0.08 feet above pool. Catfish are good on cut bait. Hybrid bass are good on swimbaits.

WEATHERFORD

SLOW. Water heavily stained; 43 degrees; 5.01 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.
