BROWNWOOD
SLOW. Water stained; 50 degrees; 3.05 feet below pool. Black bass to 10.20 pounds are good stroking a creature bait, in Lone Star Disco color, on the ledges in 15-18 feet of water. Shallow bass can be caught with crankbaits on the rocks and docks and Alabama rigs around main lake pockets and points suspended. Crappie are fair to 12 inches on minnows and white and chartreuse or shad colored jigs. Target main lake scattered brush piles in 11 feet of water or shoot under docks in 18-22 feet of water with jigs. White bass are slow to 1.5 pounds on crankbaits scattered around the main lake. Catfish are slow on minnows and on jug lines with cut shad or perch in the main lake docks and drains.
GRANBURY
FAIR. normal stain; 50 degrees; 0.58 feet below pool. Lake Granbury fishing reports slowed as many did not launch due to the ice and snow this last weekend. Water temperatures dipped into the 40s and water clarity is good. Bait and fish are huddled deep in the channel. Striped bass are slow to fair on jigs with 5 inch soft plastics fished in 30-40 feet of water from close to the dam to the Peninsula. Crappie are good on small jigs worked on structure from Bentwater to the river near Tin Top. Blue and yellow catfish are fair to good on cut shad fished on shallow flats near Hunter Park and some reports coming from near Waters Edge. Largemouth bass are best on warmer days near deeper docks and deeper structure working soft plastics very slowly. Some largemouth are on the channel ledges where the bait fish are holding POSSUM KINGDOM GOOD. Water stained; 48 degrees; 2.69 feet below pool. Expect the fishing patterns to be off for the next week or after the recent Arctic blast. Stripers are fair in 30-40 feet of water with live bait out performing artificial lures. Sand bass are fair in 30-35 feet of water on main lake points and sand flats. White is the best color but chrome is also catching a few. Throw in a few chartreuse lures to change it up and give the fish something different every now and then for best results. Catfish are fair to good with cut shad or live shad in 25-35 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. Bonus rainbow trout below Possum Kingdom Lake Dam at the Hwy 16 Bridge. This is a light tackle fishery so bring your extra light tackle or flys for best results PROCTOR
FAIR. Water stained; 49 degrees; 2.86 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.
