Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructureDocksComing out of the summer and into the fall there are a variety of ways to catch them on Granbury. This includes - Texas rigs in the afternoon on docks, square bills and chatter baits in the back of creeks and main river channel mouths in the morning, and top water stick baits along rip rap in the morning too. The fish will be shallow in the morning and slowly make their way under docks the rest of the day, that's always been my experience on this lake.

Fish were in pre-spawn pushing shallow. Caught three in practice. Biggest came off a small dock upriver on a squarebill and two under-sized off rip-rap on a bridge. During the tournament I caught one 3.49 pounder early on a deeper diving crankbait on the same rip-rap and then two more undersized, one off the other side of the same bridge off concrete and the other off a different bridge with a mix of grass and rip-rap. Lots of white bass off the rip-rap as well throughout the day.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLaydownsBass were in the backs of creeks getting ready to move up and spawn. Water temps were anywhere from 58-62 degrees in the creeks on the north end. There was a golden algae bloom on the south end of the lake mostly from rough creek and south that had a fish kill going on. Caught most bass on a shaky head trick worm or tx rigged rage bug. Really tough conditions but caught a lot of males
