Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for August 31, 2016




Hey folks, Jason Barber here with the www.kingscreekadventures.com fishing and lake report for Cedar Creek Lake. The lake level is at about 7 inches low and falling with the water temperature being in the low to mid 80's. The clarity ranges from slightly stained to stained heading north as usual.

The large mouth are still being caught under docks,especially those with a little deeper water on them. Try shaky heads, tx rig or small jigs and mix in a moving bait like a crank bait or bladed jig at times. Also try points and humps in 12 to 24' with deep diving crank baits and Carolina rigs as well as bigger jigs and tx rigged plastics.

Catfish are good anchoring on mainlake humps and fishing in 18 to 24' near a drop to deeper water. You can also randomly drift the mid to upper end of the lake in 10 to 20' and have some success. Fresh shad or cut bait is best for the blue cats, other baits and areas will work for the channel cat.

Hybrids and sandbass are on mainlake points and humps as well and can be caught on slabs and swim baits in 16 to 24'. Watch your electronics constantly as they are moving alot right now. Trolling is another great way to find fish and catch a alot of fish while relaxing. You may see some surface activity early or late so be prepared.

Crappie are tough but can be caught under the bridges and deepest docks as well as on brush in 16 to 25'. Jigs and minnows are both good choices for bait, you just have to work to get on the fish then it can be pretty good action.

Thanks for reading this report and keep me in mind for your next guided fishing trip. 903-603-2047

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 20)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 62 degrees; 0.08 feet below pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have recently been staging in the creek arms to spawn these past few weeks. Fish are now coming back into the main lake in droves to recover from the spawn 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 bite will continue to get even better in these areas as the shad spawn will start to take place in the next 2-3 weeks across the lake. Retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie bite has picked up in the creeks and inlets in 2-10 feet of water throughout the entire lake. We are now seeing the crappie migrate back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 4-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days.
