GOOD. Water slightly stained; 79 degrees; 0.80 feet above pool. Black bass to 4.97 pounds are good in 8-25 feet of water on shaky heads, Hag’s Jigs or Tornados and topwaters. Bass have moved into an early summer pattern. Crappie are excellent with catches up to 15 inches on minnows and jigs in 18-25 feet of water main lake brush piles.

GRANBURY
OOD. Water stained; 80 degrees; 0.23 feet below pool. Water is stained slightly on the upper ends, but is generally clear from midlake to the dam. After the recent rains the lake is full pool, so watch for floating debris. Striped bass and sand bass can be caught near channel breaks near feeding flats at several locations from Ports–O-Call to Sandy Point and near the dam. Bigger striped bass are being taken on 1ounce slabs and live shad fished mainly on the lower ends from Decordova to near the pump stations close to the dam. Smaller stripers and sand bass are easily being caught on slabs and spinnerbaits all over the lake from Bentwater to Blue Water Shores. Largemouth bass are good to 6 pounds on soft plastics and lipless crankbaits fished in the back of sloughs and near main lake points. Look for topwater action on feeding flats. Crappies are holdings to structure near deeper docks, underwater timber and near bridge pilings and are good on small minnows and jigs. Blue catfish continue to be good from Water’s Edge to Hunter Park on cut shad. An occasional bigger blue or yellow catfish to 25 pounds plus are possible.
POSSUM KINGDOM FAIR. Water stained; 82 degrees; 0.09 feet below pool. Stripers are finally picking up in 20-40 feet of water. Live bait is good, but bait can be hard to find, and nothing is being caught trolling. Fish are moving fast when found, so your best bet is to just sit and wait for them to move through. Sand bass are fair in 20-30 feet of water on main lake points. Chrome seems to be out producing all other colors, but try white, and chartreuse. Catfish are good on cut shad in 2-10 feet of water fished on the bottom. Baited holes are your best bet to catch numbers but will not produce big fish. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Catfish should be going into spawn soon, which will slow the bite. Water clarity is less than 1 feet on the north end. The south end is better at 2-4 feet of visibility, but still heavily stained.
PROCTOR
FAIR. Water stained; 76 degrees; 1.04 feet above pool. The water is above full pool and fishing has slowed some for anglers. Reports of white bass caught trolling in shallow water. Crappie are transitioning to brush piles.
