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 (Dec. 18)

GOOD. Water stained; 57 degrees; 0.04 feet below pool. Striped bass are fair in 20-40 feet of water with live bait. Your best bet is to just put baits in the water and slowly move around with the trolling motor until you find them. Keep in mind that we are approaching deadstick season. Sand bass are fair in 20-30 feet of water with live shad or small slabs and jigs. Live shad seems to produce a few more fish than artificial. White and silver are good colors, but white seems to be preferred. Catfish are still fair to good near Rock Creek Camp. Cut shad is producing good numbers of fish in 5-20 feet of water fished on or near the bottom. Water clarity is steady at 1-8 feet of visibility and slightly stained. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service. Bass are moving up with the lake level rising. Target points and drop-offs with Carolina rigs, chatterbaits, and jigs. Report by JK Outdoors Bass Fishing Guide.
