BROWNWOOD
GOOD. Water stained; 74 degrees; 1.81 feet below pool. Black bass to 4.69 pounds are excellent in 3- 8 feet of water on topwater frogs in the shoreline grass. Some catches in the brush in 5-12 feet of water with flukes, chatterbaits, crankbaits and jigs. Crappie are excellent with catches up to 13 inches on minnows and jigs on the main lake and scattered brush piles in 10-20 feet of water. White bass are slow to 1.50 pounds on crappie jigs and crankbaits in the lights at night or schooling in the open water of the main lake. Catfish are food on jug lines with cut shad or perch on the main lake flats and drains in 10- 25 feet of water.
GRANBURY
GOOD. normal stain; 83 degrees; 0.78 feet below pool. Water temperatures on Granbury and most reservoirs are in the low 80s and should be falling. Granbury striped bass are slow with the best catches on live bait fished on the lower ends. Crappie action continues to be good with many folks catching limits on many areas of the lake. Crappie are suspended near standing structure and near bridge pilings and deeper docks. Catfish action is good on the upper ends on cut bait. Some good channel catfish are being caught midlake, and some blue catfish are good on the upper ends. Largemouth bass are good early on top water near laydowns near creek entrances. Lipless crankbaits are effective early and soft plastics are a consistent producer. Sand bass are schooling most days from Indian Harbor to Bentwater.
POSSUM KINGDOM GOOD. Water stained; 80 degrees; 1.35 feet below pool. Striper action remains strong on topwater early mornings and late afternoons. Anglers are catching lots of undersized fish with a healthy mix of 5–8 pound keepers. Sand bass are schooling on topwater at first light, then stacking up on sandy points as the day goes on. Great action once located. Catfish are grouped up off mainlake points in 20–35 feet of water. Punch bait is producing plenty of eatersized fish, while cut shad is best for bigger bites. Crappie continue to go strong under brushed-out docks. Shooting docks with jigs has been the most effective technique for steady limits. Largemouth are crushing topwater at first light, then shifting to shallow crankbaits around dock legs as the sun climbs. Shaky heads are producing steady catches as well. Once the sun gets higher, a Texas-rigged worm fished in 15–25 feet of water has been a strong producer. Hot Tip: Keep your eyes peeled for topwater striper activity at first light and again in the evening. Bigger fish are hanging off main-lake points early, cast spooks or pencil poppers.
PROCTOR
FAIR. Water stained; 87 degrees; 1.71 feet below pool. Catfish are good on the dam side from the bank with worms or cut bait. Report of sand bass and hybrids catches with topwater lures.
