Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for July 13, 2016




Hey folks, Jason Barber here with the www.kingscreekadventures.com fishing and lake report for Cedar Creek Lake. The lake level is at normal pool and the water temperature is in the high 80's and rising. The water clarity is stained to muddy heading north.

The crappie are pretty much moved out of the shallows and have taken up residence in deeper water near brush or bridges in 12 to 20'. As always jigs and minnows are both good choices for bait.

Large mouth are scattered throughout the lake and can be caught on top water baits early and late as well as crank baits and plastics around all shoreline cover in 2 to 8' along mainlake shorelines. Docks are holding fish and deeper brush is beginning to hold a few.good fish too. Carolina rigs and deep cranks are good choices.

Catfish are good anchoring on mainlake humps and points in 15 to 24' using cut shad or shrimp. You can also drift in 12 to 20' on the north end of the lake and find fish.

Hybrids and sandbass are on mainlake points and humps as well. Try slabs and swim baits in 12nto 24' close to drop off edges while watching you finder looking for fish. Trolling is another great way to find fish, stay in 10 to 20' and watch the graph closely. Rig up with Rat-l-traps, crank baits and the infamous hell pet rig.

Cedar Creek Lake

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.
