Fishing Report

Body

BROWNWOOD

GOOD. Water stained; 65 degrees; 2.28 feet below pool. Black bass to 8 pounds are good in 13-28 feet of water on Alabama rigs, and along the shoreline in 3-8 feet with a bladed jig, crankbait or jigs. Crappie are excellent to 12 inches on minnows and jigs on the main lake scattered brush piles in 10-15 feet. White bass are slow to 1.50 pounds out of the lights at night. Catfish are fair on jug lines with cut shad or perch.

GRANBURY

GOOD. normal stain; 65 degrees; 0.13 feet below pool. Water temperatures are in the low to middle 60s and falling slowly. Recent rains have helped but have not fully filled Granbury. Sand bass action continues to fair to good midlake from Indian Harbor to Mallard Pointe. Striped bass are slow to fair on live bait fished from the dam to Decordova Bend Estates. Black bass are good to 4 pounds on soft plastics near weeds and laydowns.

POSSUM KINGDOM GOOD. Water stained; 62 degrees; 2.07 feet below pool. The water clarity is just murky enough to make every fish think it is invisible. Catfish are very good, but do not waste time beating up the shallows. Catfish have slid off the river channel and are hanging 30-50 feet of water. If you are not bumping bottom or dragging bait through the deep edge, you are basically just sightseeing. Sand bass are stacking on shallow points 15-30 feet like folks waiting at Bucees gas pumps. The bite is strong. Silver and white slab jigs have been the magic ticket. Rip them, let them fall, try not to look smug. Stripers are where the chaos kicks in. Be careful there are tons of little stripers mixed with the sandies.

PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 64 degrees; 2.25 feet below pool. Crappie are on ledges in about 15-18 feet. Bass are moving to deep ledges. Catfish are moving deeper in 15-20 feet. Hybrids are in the upper end of the lake main river channel following the shad, so follow the shad busting the top of the water. The front pushing in is causing all the fish to start moving deeper. There is a double cold front in the forecast so expect a tough bite. Report Juan Tienda, local angler.

WEATHERFORD

FAIR. Water stained; 70 degrees; 5.28 feet below pool. Bait is starting to transition to the creeks. Bass are slow around docks with crankbaits. Crappie are fair on brush piles with minnows and jigs. Crappie are showing up in the crappie house. Catfish are fair around rock with cut bait and shad.
