The following fishing reports are provided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the week of December 28:
LAKE BROWNWOOD
SLOW. Water slightly stained; 51-53 degrees; 8.14 feet below pool. Bass are slow to 3.35 pounds in 6-10 feet of water on jigs and square bills crankbaits. Crappie are slow on minnows. White bass are slow on jigs. Catfish are fair on cut shad drifting or jug lines.
LAKE CISCO
GOOD. Water stained; 58 degrees; 7.99 feet below pool. Channel catfish and bass are good in 15 feet of water with live perch. Crappie are good after sunset using minnows in 20 feet of water. Report by Jason Miller, Lake Cisco Rentals.
LAKE COLEMAN
FAIR. Slightly stained; 55 degrees; 5.18 feet below pool. Bass are fair on jigs and crankbaits from 2-10 feet of water. The forecasted wintery blast should shut the bite off causing the shallow fish to become lethargic and slow to bite, so search deeper for more active fish.
LAKE O.H. IVIE
GOOD. Water stained; 45 degrees; 22.98 feet below pool. Fishing slowed over the weekend with the plummeting water temperatures, but should pick up as the weather warms. White bass are fair with live bait and crankbaits. Crappie are fair with jigs and minnows. Largemouth bass are good. Catfish are fair on prepared baits, cut bait and live bait. Report by Concho Park and Marina.
LAKE PROCTOR
SLOW. Water stained; 48 degrees; 8.95 feet below pool. The catfish bite is tough, but cut shad is outperforming cut carp and buffalo. Report by Jeffery Sojourner, Sojourner Fishing LLC.
