Possum Kingdom Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 7)

FAIR. Water stained; 72 degrees; 0.84 feet below pool. Expect a slow striped bass bite until the water settles. Sand bass are slow to fair when you can find clear water. Use live shad or small white, silver or chrome slabs in 15-25 feet of water. Catfish are good fishing cut shad off the bottom in 2-10 feet of water. Baited holes are your best bet to catch numbers on punch bait. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. The water temperature is steady at 70-74 degrees, and will continue to rise with warmer weather. Water clarity has dropped tremendously to 1 foot of visibility, and almost zero on the north end of the lake. Mud line has made it over all the way down the lake to the dam. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
