Cedar Creek Lake Crappie Report for January 2023




2023 has finally arrived and we are excited to see where the year will take us!

Here’s what’s happening on the lake!

Water temp is around 50 degrees, and the lake level is about 3ft low. The White Bass are fantastic and big numbers of fish have been the norm lately. Hybrid Striper are also mixed in and common to catch this time of year. Crappie are moving constantly, searching for pre-spawn locations. Crappie can sometimes be more selective in their menu and schedule, but our team here at BigCrappie has them dialed in. Lots of Crappie on the table this week! As we continue into later January and February, all fish will be in spawning patterns on Cedar Creek Lake.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 4)

GOOD. slightly stained; 85 degrees; 1.52 feet below pool. The fishing has been increasingly more challenging the past 7-10 days. If you find a pattern right now stick with it and continue to fish the same techniques if you are catching fish. 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 heats up. 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. The evening bite from 5-9 p.m has also been very good. Hit up seawalls close to points in depths of 5-18 feet and cast rattle traps, spoons, 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 can be caught on humps in 16-20 feet on cut shad. Some bigger fish can be caught drifting with big cut bait in 15-25 feet. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
