You can find a lot more of my photos on my facebook page, Photography by Peggy Gibson. Each of my photos are for sale. I can print them or just sell you the jpg file. Possum Kingdom Lake has been home for the last 15 years and has been part of my life long before that. We moved to the lake from a life in the Air Force to help take care of the ranch and Gaines Bend in 1999. My husband and I are currently the owners/managers of Gaines Bend. Gaines Bend and the surrounding area has been in my husband's family since 1859. We raised our two daughters here and wake up every morning to a view of the most amazing lake in the state of Texas, Possum Kingdom Lake.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 9)

FAIR. Water stained; 66 degrees; 0.49 feet below pool. The water temperature is steady at 60-66 degrees but will rise with warmer weather. Stripers continue to be slow and scattered in 20-40 feet of water on points and ledges. Live bait is the best bet. Sand bass are fair in creeks, but slowing down in the main lake. Target the outside bends and deep holes in the creeks with live shad or small jigs and rattle traps. Catfish are still fair to good with cut shad in 10-15 feet of water or 20-30 feet of water fished on the bottom. Baited holes are your best bet to catch numbers, be sure to wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Water clarity is steady at 1-8 feet of visibility and slightly stained. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service.
