Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Reports
Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report from TPWD (Oct. 2)
GOOD. normal stain; 79 degrees; 2.23 feet below pool. Hybrids and white bass are good early in the morning at daylight on midlake points and drop-offs along sandy flats throughout the dam area, Crappie Island, Key Ranch and the spillway humps in 11-17 feet. Cast spinners and slabs and look for schooling fish on these flats as well as deeper seawalls and shorelines. Then fish any hump in 14-22 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools as the day warms up. Look for schooling fish on cloudy days. Use spinnerbaits or drop a slab down to the bottom and work it fast up and down and the fish will hit it immediately. Also throwing out a slab and reeling it back with a slow retrieve is also working well. Cast rattle traps, Spoons, Umbrella Rigs, slabs or sassy shads to get the hybrids to bite. The crappie bite has been getting better. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 5-12 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Limits are being reported, although guides have been reporting conditions are improving with bigger sized fish being caught. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are beginning to move shallow on the humps and points anchored with cut shad in 8-16 feet fishing bottom fishing, or drifting with bigger cut bait in 12-24 feet of water. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
