GRANBURY
GOOD. Water good clarity; 88 degrees; 0.28 feet below pool. Water levels are normal and clarity is good. Thermoclines are developing on many areas of the lake about 20 feet down. The lake has settled out but there are a few floating hazards still out there. Water temperatures are in the upper 80s and low 90s in the backs of sloughs. Sand bass and small striped bass continue to be good on most days early and late on live bait and slabs. Trolling is also extremely effective. Surface schooling action is being reported on several areas of the lake. Largemouth bass are good on topwater early and better near deeper docks and shaded areas later in the day. Soft plastics are effective working the docks. Striped bass to near 10 pounds are fair to good on live shad and trolled or downrigged baits worked on the lower ends.
POSSUM KINGDOM FAIR. Water stained; 86-88 degrees; 0.21 feet below pool. Water clarity is 2-6 feet of visibility. Stripers are slow with live bait being the best option. Nothing is being caught trolling. Look for them in 20-40 feet of water. They are moving fast, so slowly move around and pick them off one at a time until you find a good school. Staying on top of the school can be extremely tough as they move fast. Sand bass are fair to good in 5-10 feet of water on main lake points and sand flats. Chrome and white colors are outproducing all others. Catfish are fair on cut shad in 10-20 feet fished on the bottom. Baited holes are best to catch numbers but won’t produce big fish. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Catfish spawning activity will make them slow for about the next month.
PROCTOR
FAIR. Water stained; 87 degrees; 0.11 feet above pool. Catfish are good on cut bait and live bait with reports of good catches of channels. Patience seems to be key, letting baits sit rather than constantly retrieving is producing better results. Brush piles are holding fish with some good takedowns reported. Striper fishing has been reported by local anglers. Reports of white bass caught trolling in shallow water. Crappie are transitioning to brush piles.
