Fishing Report

Body

BROWNWOOD

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 81 degrees; 0.48 feet above pool. Black bass to 6.19 pounds are good in 3-25 feet of water on spinnerbaits and topwaters. Bass have moved into an early summer pattern with some schooling in small wolf packs. Crappie are good to 12 inches on minnows and jigs in 18-25 feet of water on deeper large docks with brush on the main lake. White bass are good to 2 pounds on crankbaits out of the lights at night with some schooling early and late. Catfish are fair on cut shad, nightcrawlers and chicken livers on the main lake flats..

GRANBURY

GOOD. 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 slightly stained; 82 degrees; 0.10 feet above pool. Stripers are fair in 20-40 feet of water. The best bite has been live bait but it can be difficult to find. There has been good steady action with the occasional slowdown. Best bet is to just sit and wait for them to move through and catch a few then wait for the next school. Sand bass are fair in 15-20 feet of water on main lake points. Chrome and white seem to be out producing all other colors. 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 so it should start to slow down until they are done spawning. Water clarity is less than 1 foot on the north end, but the south end is better at 3-6 feet of visibility.

PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 76 degrees; 0.95 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.
