BROWNWOOD
GOOD. Water slightly stained; 82-85 degrees; 3.84 feet low. Bass are fair to good with catches up to four pounds using shaky heads, crankbaits and jigs in the stick-ups and between docks. The topwater bite is beginning to pick up. Crappie are slow on minnows and jigs from 10-15 feet of water in brush piles and under docks. White bass are slow on crankbaits casting and trolling. Catfish are good starting to spawn on the shallow flats. The bite is on cut bait, liver and perch.
GRANBURY
GOOD. Water lightly stained; 76 degrees; 0.75 feet low. Bait fish have been a little more scattered than normal. Finding them in the main river channel in the heat of the day and shallower after sundown. Flathead catfish have been slow and hitting smaller baits than usual. Channel and blue catfish are picking up on cut buffalo, and small 2-3 inch threadfin shad outperforming gizzard shad currently by a large margin. Eater sized channels readily biting prepared baits. Most fish have been coming out of 2-5 feet of water. Report by Jeffery Sojourner, Sojourner Fishing. Striped bass and white bass are good moving fast, biting topwaters early in the morning throughout the reservoir in 15-60 feet of water. Lots of smaller sized fish being caught. Catfish are good in 20-50 feet of water on cut bait. Report provided by Kraig Sexton, Sexton’s Guide Service LLC. Largemouth bass are good on soft plastics around boat docks and deeper rock ledges. Still a decent topwater bite early on flats and shallow points, but the fish are moving deep quickly in the morning. Report by James Moore, North Texas Bass Fishing and Cmoore Striper Guide Services.
POSSUM KINGDOM
GOOD. Water lightly stained; 78-83 degrees; 1.20 feet low. Striped bass fishing it on fire. Trolling white or chartreuse jigs seems to be the ticket for daily limits, but live shad is working too. Starting to see some schooling but very sporadic. Sand bass are fair to good using chartreuse slabs and spoons. Starting to see some schooling on the surface. Catfish will be slow for the next few weeks while they spawn. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
