Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for March 16, 2013




Hi folks, Jason Barber here with the weekly kingscreekadventures.com fishing report for Cedar Creek Lake. The water level is at 3.3 low and the water temps are creeping into the low 60's. The water is still stained to muddy going up the lake. The crappie are surging into the shallows with fish being caught in as little as a foot of water. Jigs and minnows are good as always. Crappie can be caught under docks around rocks as well as in some deeper brushpiles. The bridges are holding good numbers of fish too, stay with the first few pillars from the shore for best results. Largemouth can be caught in the back of the spawning coves as well, use spinners and soft plastics as well as topwaters and shallow cranks. Fish any visible cover in 1 to 5 ft. also pitch jigs and tx. rigged plastics to all the docks back in the coves. Catfish are biting good in shallow water on the upper end of the lake. Fresh shad is a safe bet for bait but shrimp worms and minnows will catch fish too. For a bigger bite use live perch or goldfish or stay with bigger cut shad. fish from 1 to 10 ft. until you find where they are actively feeding. The sandies and hybrids are shoiwing up on points and ridges on the north end of the lake since there are no running creeks for them to travel into. The most of them are staging on hard bottom areas near the creek areas. Try standard artificial baits that usually catch striped fish and if that doesn't work get you some fresh shad and you should see some action. Cedar Creek Bait and Tackle is now located 1/2 mile south of the light in Seven Points on hwy 274 across from Poe motors. We have all your bait and tackle needs as well as a full time fishing and hunting guide service for you. Give us a call at the baitshop at 903-432-BAIT or reach me on my cell at 903-603-2047... Thanks and good fishing!

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 24)

EXCELLENT. Water slightly stained; 77 degrees; 1.71 feet below pool. Consistently finding the best hybrid action in 13-18 feet of water with slabs, and spinnerbaits using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons with a hellbender set-up at 3 mph in 13-17 feet of water is absolutely crushing the white bass on several humps throughout the lake. As water temperatures decrease into the low 70s we will target big hybrids on shallow ledges and humps with Alabama rigs. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck's Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The catfish pattern will remain consistent until cooler weather arrives. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet fishing small shad or cut shad on the bottom. Drifting larger cut bait like carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet throughout the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
