Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for January 22, 2016




Hey folks, Jason Barber here with the www.Kingscreekadventures.com fishing and lake report for Cedar Creek Lake. The water level is at normal pool and the water temperature ranges from the high 40' to the low 50's. The water clarity is stained to muddy heading north and the fish are finally getting on a solid winter pattern.

Hybrids and Sandies are on mainlake flats in 25 to 40' of water feeding on schools.of shad suspended over deep water. Using shad imitations or small live shad, present the bait 5 to 15' off bottom depending on how the fish are positioned. As always during the winter, bump the bottom of the boat continuously to attract fish.

The crappie are deep for the most part, find offshore structure with cover on it and fish 24 to 50' of water while watching your graph constantly. The deepest water on the bridges or any deep brushpiles will hold fish now, Minnows and jigs are good.

Catfish can be found in 25 to 40' of water as well and fresh shad is the best bait for the job. You can drift over key areas or anchor for a while to see if the fish are active. You can also find some fish in 3 to 10' of water on the north end of the lake. The same approach will work for these fish.

Large mouth are both deep and shallow, you can stay out off points and humps in 10 to 24' of water and trow football jigs, drop shot and c-rigs or go to docks and rocks Try slow rolling a spinner bait or chatter bait as well as throwing a Rat-L-Trap in q to 6'. 1/4 oz to 3/8oz jigs should be worked slow and thoroughly under the docks especially the ones with brush or debris present.

Thanks for reading my report and please let me know if you want to book a trip. you can contact me at 903-603-2047.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 64 degrees; 0.21 feet above pool. The 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 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. Slowly retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 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.
