3-31-16 Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report with BigCrappie.com & DallasFishingCharters.com

It's been a roller coaster ride with the weather this March. We've seen some great fishing trips and some really tough ones. By April things should settle down and the fishing gets steady despite small weather changes. The crappie are going to be great this April thru June. With the lake full I'm expecting to have another great year. Our white bass and hybrid stripers should be coming out of the creeks in the next week and they'll be hungry. The main lake should heat up and chasing big hybrids and white bass will be easy fishing. Top water early in the morning should be routine also. Please don't wait to book your trip. Call us today at 903-288-5798 or go online to book at www.BigCrappie.com for guaranteed availability.

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.
