Possum Kingdom Lake Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 13)

FAIR. Water clear; 58 degrees; 0.27 feet below pool. Striped bass are good casting swimbaits and Alabama rigs at the shore. Some can be caught trolling with live shad in 5-40 feet of water. Some can also be caught using live bait in the river channel. The fish are scattered but can be caught. Sand bass are fair to good using small slabs and small jigs, but some can be caught using small live bait also. Your best bet is to use small jigs or swim baits casted at the shore in shallow water in 2-10 feet of water. Catfish are great in 1-10 feet of water using cut shad. Water clarity is steady at 2-8 feet of visibility. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
