GOOD. Water stained; 54 degrees; 8.79 feet below pool. Black bass to 8.80 pounds are good on Hag’s Bait jigs, jerkbaits and Alabama rigs in 6-12 feet of water. Staging up to a prespawn on the secondary points and mouth of cove pockets. Crappie are fair at the Wild Duck and brush piles on minnows in 12-15 feet of water.

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 53 degrees; 0.13 feet below pool. The recent cold snap lowered water temperatures in the low 50s on the main lake. Water temperatures are warmer in the river above Granbury. Water is relatively clear and some floating debris is still present. Striped bass fishing has been hit-and-miss, but some good fish are being caught mid lake from Indian Harbor to Decordova on 5 inch soft plastics and swimbaits. Sand bass spawn is continuing from Hunter Park upstream. Some good reports coming from near Tin Top. Black bass numbers continue to get better on those warmer days especially on the upper ends or in the backs of major creeks. Soft plastics on Texas rigs or Carolina rigs may be your best choice. Crappie reports continue to be scattered, however the majority of the fish are still on deeper structure and can be taken on small minnows or jigs. Big blue and yellow cat reports have slowed some, but your best chance for a huge catfish is best on the upper ends by Hunter Park using cut bait.
