Grand: January 1. Elevation above normal, water 40s and muddy. For current elevation conditions go to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website at https://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/PENS.lakepage.html. Largemouth bass fair on Alabama rigs, chicken liver and plastic baits around brush structure, docks and shorelines. Blue catfish fair on cut bait and stinkbait below the dam, along channels and docks. Crappie slow on hair jigs, jigs and minnows around brush structure and docks. Recent rains have made the water murky and temperature swings have slowed the bite considerably.
