Striped bass to 7 pounds and sand bass to 2 pounds are slow to fair midlake from near Indian Harbor to in town by the city beach. Look for suspended fish in deeper water on those colder days. Some sand bass are being caught in the river near Tin Top. Striped bass are best on live shad and, or 5 inch soft plastics fished real slow near channel breaks. Best crappie action continues to be from Bentwater to above Hunter Park on small jigs and minnows. Look for suspended crappies on standing structure and under deeper docks. Best blue and yellow catfish action continues to be on cut bait from near Water’s Edge to Hunter park.
POSSUM KINGDOM GOOD. Water stained; 54 degrees; 2.72 feet below pool. The water temp is 52-57 degrees, but will most likely drop significantly after the cold front. Stripers are fair in 30-40 feet of water with live bait out performing artificial lures. Sand bass are fair in 30-35 feet of water on main lake points and sand flats. White is the best color but chrome is also catching a few. Throw in a few chartreuse lures to change it up and give the fish something different every now and then for best results. Catfish are fair to good with cut shad or live shad in 25-35 feet of water fished on or near the bottom. Bass have been steady in deep water around structure in 40-50 feet of water on live bait but can probably be targeted with deep water baits and deadsticking methods. Bonus rainbow trout below Possum Kingdom Lake Dam at the Hwy 16 Bridge.
