Fishing Report

BROWNWOOD

SLOW. Water slightly stained; 86-88 degrees; 5.84 feet low. In the Texas heat, fishing is tough with fish clinging under docks, or in open water following bait balls. Bass are slow to three pounds scattered all over the lake biting on shaky heads and crankbaits. Crappie to one pound are excellent on minnows in 12-15 feet of water over brush piles and structures. White bass are slow on crankbaits and jigs under the lights at night and some schooling action throughout the day. Catfish are good on prepared baits around baited holes and the flats.

GRANBURY

FAIR. Water lightly stained; 86 degrees; 2.01 feet low. Fishing patterns remain as constant as the Texas heat. Bass are in deeper water biting on jigs and soft plastics worked very slowly around deep ledges and deep boat docks. Any type of structure in 18-25 feet of water is holding fish.

POSSUM KINGDOM

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 87 degrees; 3.44 feet low. Striped bass are still slow using live bait and trolling chartreuse and white lures in 20-30 feet of water on points and deep ledges. Sand bass are fair using small live baits fished in creek channels and off points in 15-25 feet of water. Catfish are good using punch bait fished on, or near the bottom in 20-30 feet of water near structure. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.

PROCTOR

SLOW. Water stained; 85 degrees; 5.97 feet low. Hybrid striper and sand bass are fair with topwater action at sunrise in 2-4 feet of water. Crappie are poor in 12-15 feet of water. Black bass are poor. Catfish are fair on cut shad.

WEATHERFORD

SLOW. Water lightly stained; 85 degrees; 7.77 feet low. Catfish are fair with cut bait and shad in the channel. White bass are slow on slabs. Bass are slow off points and rocks with crankbaits and worms. Crappie are slow on main lake brush piles with minnows and jigs.

WHITNEY

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 84 degrees; 7.07 feet low. Stripers and sand bass are moving fast. Catch them shallow early in the morning, but once the sun rises fish in deeper water. Striped bass are great on live bait, crankbaits, swimbaits and jigging spoons from mid lake south towards the dam on flats and near the shallow edge of the river channel. White bass are good on live bait, jigging spoons and Alabama rigs. Look for schooling fish then anchor outside of the school and cast into them. They are moving fast. Catfish are good on cut bait during the day in 15-50 feet of water. Report provided by Kraig Sexton, Sexton’s Guide Service LLC.
