BROWNWOOD
GOOD. Water stained; 80 degrees; 1.75 feet above pool. Black bass up to 5.67 pounds are fair on Hags’s baits with soft plastics and frogs casting into the newly submerged grass and weeds. Some catches with crankbaits in 2-8 feet of water around the rock cuts. Crappie are slow with catches up to 10 inches around docks with brush in 9-15 feet of water with minnows. White bass are excellent with catches up to 1.50 pounds on crankbaits around the lighted docks. Catfish are fair with catches up to 3 pounds on cut bait and on artificial lures.
GRANBURY
GOOD. Water stained; 80 degrees; 0.35 feet below pool. Temperatures have been seesawing with the weather with the water fluctuating from the upper 70s to the low 80s. Sand bass are good to excellent on slabs and spinnerbaits in many areas of the lake. There are lots of small sand bass, but some bigger ones mixed in. Look for schooling action in town around the Shores to Striper Alley. Striped bass are slow to fair with catches up to 10 pounds fishing with live bait on the lower ends from Decordova to the Dam in 15-20 feet of water. Look for those striped bass near schooling sand bass. Largemouth bass continue to be good on crankbaits and soft plastics fished near humps and ridges near creek entrances. There is a good largemouth bass topwater bite in the back of sloughs where baitfish are holding. Crappie catches are fair to good on small jigs and minnows fished on submerged structures in 10-20 feet of water.
POSSUM KINGDOM GOOD. Water stained; 82 degrees; 1.57 feet below pool. Striper are starting to pick up but still not consistent. Live bait is putting fish in the boat if it can be caught. Downriggers are still slow at the moment and not catching any fish. Any kind of artificial bait is fishing slow at the moment. Look for them in 20-40 feet of water. They are moving fast and not staying in one spot long. Sand bass are still slow. Look for them in 20-30 feet of water. Use live shad or small slabs and jigs or rattle traps. White and silver are good colors. Catfish are fair to good. Cut shad or your favorite brand of stink bait, also known as punch bait, is producing good numbers of fish in 15-30 feet of water fished on or near the bottom. This rain we just got has cooled the lake of 2-3 degrees but I expect it to rise again this week. Water clarity is steady at 6-12 feet of visibility.
PROCTOR
SLOW. Water stained; 85 degrees; 0.70 feet above pool. The lake is over full pool and with water being released at 100 cfs, this is the highest rate of release for the last 9 years. One fishing dock is open in South Creek Park. Early morning fishing on jugs has been productive for catfish. Recent sightings of alligator gar behind the dam.
