SLOW. Water stained; 45 degrees; 3.10 feet below pool. Black bass to 8.33 pounds are excellent on soft plastics, in Lone Star Disco color, scoping around docks and stroking them on the ledges in 15-18 feet of water. Throw shallow crankbaits and jigs on the rocks and docks around main lake pockets and suspended points. Crappie are slow to 11 inches on minnows or jigs on main lake scattered brush piles. The best jig colors have been chartreuse and white or shad. White bass are slow with catches up to 1.5 pounds. Fish are scattered around the main lake biting crankbaits. Catfish are slow on minnows and on jug lines with cut shad or perch on the main lake docks and drains.
GRANBURY
FAIR. normal stain; 50 degrees; 0.57 feet below pool. Water temperatures fell to the to the low 40s after the last cold snap down. Water clarity is good and lake levels are close to pool level. Inclement weather has limited angler action, but the spring like forecast will bring anglers back out. Best action continues to be crappie on jigs worked near deeper structure. Some are being caught in the river above Granbury. Sand bass reports have been slow. Best sand bass action is in deeper water on 3 inch grubs fished above bait clouds. Many of the sand bass are staged in the main lake and will move upstream to spawn in the next few weeks. Striped bass have been hit and miss. Best striped bass action is on the lower ends in 25-40 feet of water. Look for birds hovering. Largemouth bass continue to be good in numbers with an occasional bigger fish.
POSSUM KINGDOM GOOD. Water stained; 50 degrees; 2.71 feet below pool. Stripers are slow to fair in 30-40 feet of water. Live bait is still doing good but the artificial deadstick bite is starting to pick up. Jigs with a red head and chartreuse fluke tail seem to be the best color but other colors have been working also. Sand bass are fair in 30-40 feet of water in the main river channel. Live bait has been out preforming artificials, but some can also be caught using deadstick techniques. Red head jigs with a white or chartreuse split tail fluke seems to be the best colors for deadsticking. Catfish are still fair to good. Cut and live shad are producing fish in 30-40 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.
PROCTOR
FAIR. Water stained; 49 degrees; 2.89 feet below pool. The water temperature is in the 40s, so expect the fish to group up in deep channels in 22-24 feet of water. There may be a shad kill due to the cold water temperatures. This should bring catfish shallow to feed, and look for bird activity. Catfish may be caught on. Shad colored lures for hybrid should also be great. Follow the birds feeding on all the Shad.
