The following fishing reports are provided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the week of January 28:

LAKE BROWNWOOD

SLOW. Water stained; 50 degrees; 3.05 feet below pool. Black bass to 10.20 pounds are good stroking a creature bait, in Lone Star Disco color, on the ledges in 15-18 feet of water. Shallow bass can be caught with crankbaits on the rocks and docks and Alabama rigs around main lake pockets and points suspended. Crappie are fair to 12 inches on minnows and white and chartreuse or shad colored jigs. Target main lake scattered brush piles in 11 feet of water or shoot under docks in 18-22 feet of water with jigs. White bass are slow to 1.5 pounds on crankbaits scattered around the main lake. Catfish are slow on minnows and on jug lines with cut shad or perch in the main lake docks and drains.

LAKE CISCO

GOOD. Water normal stain; 56 degrees; 16.64 feet above pool. Cooler weather and passing fronts have brought north winds and occasional light rain to Lake Cisco, making conditions a bit tougher but still producing fish. Catfish remain the most consistent bite, with anglers catching good numbers on cut shad and punch bait around creek channels. Crappie action is slowly improving on brush and timber in 12-20 feet using minnows. Bass reports are light, but a few are moving shallow on warmer afternoons and hitting spinnerbaits and squarebills around rocks. Wind can make the lake choppy, so use caution.

LAKE COLEMAN

SLOW. Water stained; 47 degrees; 3.38 feet below pool. Catfish should be shallow biting shad. Bass are slow. Crappie are slow.

LAKE O.H. IVIE

FAIR. Water stained; 50 degrees; 19.61 feet below pool. Expect bass to group up off the bottom under cover this weekend. With the full moon anticipate quality fish over quantity because the bigger bass should bite. Before the Arctic blast largemouth bass were good for catches up to 7 pounds. A 13 pound bass caught with a shaky head minnow. Target bass in 8-25 feet of water on river channel ledges, long tapering points close to deep water and outside Creek Bends. Use Alabama rigs, swimbaits or jerkbaits. Most success with shad patterns but some fish being reported on green pumpkin worms Texas rigged or on Shaky Head. No crappie report. White bass have been good on jigging spoons, small minnow style baits and crankbaits in the middle of the river channels and 25-35 feet of water. A lot of these white bass are up to 2.5 pounds. Some catfish being reported up river on rod-and-reel with chicken liver, cut shad, and cheese bait. Report by Wendell Ramsey, Ramsey Fishing.

LAKE PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 49 degrees; 2.86 feet below pool. The water temperature is in the 40s, so expect the fish to group up in deep channels in 22-24 feet of water. There may be a shad kill due to the cold water temperatures. This should bring catfish shallow to feed, and look for bird activity. Catfish may be caught on. Shad colored lures for hybrid should also be great. Follow the birds feeding on all the Shad. Report Juan Tienda, local angler.
