FISHING REPORT

BROWNWOOD

GOOD. Water stained; 43 degrees; 8.71 feet below pool. Black bass are slow with catches up to 4.5 pounds on suspended swimbaits, 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 poor on crankbaits and small jigs. Catfish are slow on baited holes.

GRANBURY

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 52 degrees; 0.24 feet below pool. Water temperatures are currently in the 40s, but will rebound some after this last cold spell. Water is relatively clear and is near full pool. Striped bass and sand bass are good midlake and upstream from Western Hills to Mallard Pointe fished near the river channel above clouds of baitfish about 20 feet down. Some really big sand bass and striped bass are being caught on 3-5 inch soft plastics near channel breaks. Largemouth bass are good near main lake points and deeper docks on Texas rigged soft plastics worked slowly. Some good largemouth reports are coming from the river around Tin Top. Big blue and yellow catfish are possible on cut bait fished near Hunter Park. Crappie limits are common near structure and deeper docks on small jigs on light lines. Best crappie reports are coming from around the Water’s Edge, Peninsula and Bentwater areas on submerged trees.

POSSUM KINGDOM

FAIR. Water clear; 46-50 degrees; 1.11 feet below pool. Striped bass are fair with the best bite in 30-40 feet of water using live bait. Now that the water temperature has cooled after the recent cold front the deadstick has improved. 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
