GOOD. normal stain; 83 degrees; 0.69 feet below pool. Granbury water temperatures are in the low to middle 80s. Water clarity is normal and the turnover that started will resume as the water starts cooling again. Striped bass and sand bass are schooling on the surface from Striper Alley to Ports-O-Call. Lots of these fish are chasing shad in open water. Some birds can point you to these feeding fish. An Osprey pointed out some surface feeding striped bass just the other day. Gulls are slowly arriving as well. Crappie fishing is good to excellent on small jigs and small minnows fished from in town to near Waters edge. Largemouth bass are being caught in numbers with an occasional fish to 5 pounds. Look for fish holding near creek entrances on shallow flats. Soft plastics and lipless crankbaits are effective. Topwater catches are good early and late for largemouth bass. Catfish action continues to be good on cut bait fished on humps and ridges close to creek entrances. Some big blue catfish are being caught on the upper ends. Report by Michael Acosta, Unfair Advantage Charters.
