Possum Kingdom Fishing Report

Dec 10, 2025

GOOD. Water stained; 58 degrees; 2.27 feet below pool. The pattern is consistent but expect the deadstick bite to begin for stripers soon. Catfish have slid off the river channel and are hanging 30-50 feet of water. If you are not bumping bottom or dragging bait through the deep edge, you are basically just sightseeing. Trophy blue catfish will be moving to shallow water on the north end of the lake and into the upper river. Sand bass are good with fish stacking on shallow points in 15-30 feet. Silver and white slab jigs have been the magic ticket. Rip them, let them fall, try not to look smug. Stripers are where the chaos kicks in. Be careful there are tons of little stripers mixed with the sandies. Some keepers sprinkled in, but do not assume every head shake is payday. The largemouth bass winter pattern is starting. Bass are feeding on the shad around docks and structure. Bass are eating, but not in a hurry. Think slow presentations with a steady head, do not rush it like you are late to church. That is the rundown. Go catch fish, try not to fall in, and do not name every sand bass after your ex. Report by Captain Casey Armstrong, Hooked Up Outfitters. Stripers are slow to fair in 20-35 feet of water. There are lots of smaller fish, and keepers are few and far between. Sand bass are good in 25-35 feet of water on main lake points and sand flats with slabs. White is the best color but chrome is also catching a few. Catfish are fair to good fishing cut shad off the bottom in 20-30 feet of water. Baited holes are also producing good numbers but will not produce big fish. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Water clarity is 6-10 feet of visibility Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
