March 5th Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report with DallasFishingCharters.com and BigCrappie.com

Cedar Creek Lake fishing report:

Crappie fishing last week was unbelievable. We had boats running everyday and most trips limited out on nice crappie. By the weekend due to increased pressure in the area we were fishing it had slowed down some but we still had some big stringers of fish. Best depths were 2-10ft. All on jigs.

Saturday's full day trip had 100 crappie by noonish and my half days had 70 in the afternoon and 62 that morning. Sunday morning we had about 45.

If your wanting to try your luck come see us. Preferably during the week while there is less boaters. If you need a weekend that's ok too. We still catch fish on the weekends. We just have to yield to a lot more fisherman.

We haven't chased many white bass or hybrid but we have been catching some on crappie trips. We will be out on the lake this week with several boats looking for them.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 75 degrees; 0.43 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 hybrids and white bass have started schooling in water from 4-14 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 spinners 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. Catfish are excellent the first couple hours of the day on retaining walls where the shad are spawning using fresh cut or whole shad on a bobber or with a light weight. The bite slows as the day progresses because the catfish are feeding heavily at first light. Later in the day target catfish on the first drop-offs in 5-15 feet of water. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
