1/1/17 Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report with BigCrappie.com & DallasFishingCharters.com

Jan 1, 2017
Water temp 53
We had a great end to 2016 with our crappie bite lasting well into December. As the water cools down into the high 40's and low 50's we will do more white bass & hybrid Striper trips. Our white bass bite is normally very good during the winter months offering plenty of action. Our crappie generally slow down and can be challenging.

Generally by mid Feb we will see some crappie returning to the shallows to spawn as the water temps rise back into the mid 50's.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
