GRANBURY

Body

GOOD. Water stained; 52-54 degrees; 8.56 feet below pool. Black bass are good with catches up to 4.5 pounds on green pumpkin jigs tipped with creature craws in green pumpkin/blue in 4-12 feet of water on rock piles, or chatterbaits around the shoreline in 2-8 feet of water. Crappie are slow around the docks and brush piles on minnows in 12-18 feet of water. White bass are good on crankbaits and small jigs. Catfish are slow on baited holes.

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 52 degrees; 0.01 feet above pool. Granbury water temperatures have fallen into the low 50s and the fishing for crappie, white bass and striped bass has been good. Granbury water level is near normal. Best crappie action is on submerged structure on small jigs fished from Water’s Edge to the Peninsula. Striped bass to 10 pounds and large white bass are staging on the upper ends in the river channel from Western Hills to Hunter Park. Best baits for striped and white bass are flukes and swimbaits in the 3-5 inch size worked near schools of baitfish huddled near the channel. Largemouth bass to 5 pounds are best near laydowns on the upper ends and in the river. Texas rigged soft plastics and spinnerbaits are putting largemouth in the boat. Big blue and yellow catfish are good on cut bait fished on the upper ends near Hunter Park.

POSSUM

KINGDOM

FAIR. Water clear; 51-55 degrees; 1.05 feet below pool. Striped bass are fair with the best bite in 30-40 feet of water using live bait. A few can be caught using deadstick methods, but the water still needs to be cooler for it to work well. The fish are on the move and will not stay under the boat long. Sand bass are fair to good. Small slabs and small jigs are the way to go, but some can be caught using small live bait. The best colors continue to be chartreuse, white, and silver. Catfish are good using cut shad in 2-10 feet of water. Water clarity is steady at 2-8 feet of visibility, but expect this to decrease after the recent rains

PROCTOR
