Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for April 18, 2024




Crappie Update:

While the bite has been fair recently, we're thrilled to announce that as of today, things have taken a turn for the better! The Crappie are definitely more active, and dock shooting is the name of the game if you want to reel 'em in! With lots of rain recently and the spillway gates wide open, the Crappie bite has been affected this spring. They've been cozying up under boat docks, and pretty soon, they'll be hitting those brush tops like there's no tomorrow. Jigs have been the MVP bait, but don't count out those trusty minnows either! Pro tip: If you're up for a challenge, try your hand at dock shooting - it can be challenging but oh-so-rewarding!

White Bass & Hybrid Striper:

White Bass action kicked off with a bang just a few weeks ago. Birds diving, hybrids lurking - it was a fishing frenzy! Although it slowed down for a bit, fear not! We spotted some surface action just the other day, and we've been reeling in some solid numbers of White Bass, with the occasional Hybrid Striper making an appearance.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 11)

GOOD. slightly stained; 85 degrees; 1.79 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.
