Body

BROWNWOOD

GOOD.  Water slightly stained; 78 degrees; 0.56 feet above pool. Black bass to 7.47 pounds are good in 8-18 feet of water on wacky rigged Hag’s Jigs or Tornados, topwaters and spinnerbaits. Bass have finished guarding fry and 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. White bass are good to 2.5 pounds on crankbaits out of the lights at night. Catfish are slowoncutshad,nightcrawlers and chicken livers.

GRANBURY 

GOOD.  Water stained; 80 degrees; 0.13 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 1 ounce 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.

POSSUM KINGDOM FAIR. 

Water stained; 78 degrees; 0.19 feet above pool. Stripers continue to be slow and live bait is your best bet or something that makes lots of noise like a rattletrap. Expect the bite to remain slow due to the muddy water. Sand bass are fair to slow in 15-25 feet of water on main lake points with small slabs, white and silver are both good colors. Some can be caught on chrome. Catfish are good in 2-10 feet of water with cut shad off 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. Water clarity is less than 1 foot on the north end, but the south end is slightly better but still heavily stained.

PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 76 degrees; 1.22 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.

WEATHERFORD

FAIR. Water stained; 79 degrees; 3.52 feet below pool. Crappie are fair in 10-20 feet of water on brush piles with minnows and jigs. Bass are slow on soft plastics in deeper water. Catfish are fair with cut
