Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report January 22, 2019




Hi folks, Jason Barber here with the www.kingscreekadventures.com fishing and lake report for Cedar creek lake. The lake is full and the water is stained, the temperature is running in the high 40's to low 50's...

The crappie are tough right now on the main lake but you can find a few around deep brush and roaming around deep flats near creek channel areas. Some fish are being caught in major creeks away from the lake as well.

Catfish are best shallow in the northern regions of the lake from 2 to 12' on fresh cutbait, but drifting is a great way to get a big bite... for the drifting try 20 to 40' and larger bait.

Large mouth are slow but can be caught around the docks near spawning creeks in 4 to 15' on jigs and crankbaits as well as chatter baits and other plastics. Rocks are another great place to look this time of year.

Sandies and hybrids are still deep chasing shad in 30 to 50' and should be targeted with plastic shad imitations on jig heads across the main lake from mid-lake south.

Thanks for reading and give me a call to book your next fishing trip! 903-603-2047

Cedar Creek Lake

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.
