She is the recipient of numerous awards for her work in journalism and public service. Friendly and accessible, she is a frequent sight in Cedar Creek Lake stores and restaurants. She also often participates in charity events on the lake with her husband Lance Brown at her side. Her pasttimes are reading, gardening, movies and "junk-tiquing." She notes that Cedar Creek Lake provides the perfect setting for her downtime interests. CCL.com: Are you a weekender or a full-time resident? Campos: I'm a weekender, and we chose it because we have friends who invited us out for a Labor Day picnic -- we liked it so much we immediately started househunting. CCL.com: What are your favorite things to do and places to visit on the lake? Campos: I just love the peace and quiet! I don't fish or water ski, but I like to eat fish. There are so many good restaurants we rarely cook out. I think the SEADOS are the most fun you can have with your clothes on. CCL.com: What has been the reaction of your family and friends to the lake when they visit? Campos: They like it too. My sister is the fisher person in the family. CCL.com: What do you view as the benefits of being on the lake as opposed to life in the big city? Campos: Did I mention peace and quiet? A slower pace, small town and friendly folks! CCL.com: What new conveniences and attractions would you like to see developed on the lake? Campos: Hmmm, geez. That's a good question. I think the kids would like more to do on dry land, maybe mini golf, a water park? I have no idea. I like things just the way they are.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 85 degrees; 0.26 feet above pool. Big numbers of white bass and several trophy-class hybrid stripers have hit the deck. We are consistently finding the best action in 15–22 feet of water. Good go-to setups include a variety of slabs, sometimes paired with 2–3 jigs above, and the always-reliable yellow bladed jig using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons at 3 mph in 13–17 feet of water absolutely crushed the white bass. Water temperatures are currently holding around 83 degrees and will continue to rise as summer heats up over the next couple of weeks. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom, or drifting larger cut carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
