Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for January 17, 2017




Hi folks, Jason Barber here with the www. Kingscreekadventures.com fishing and lake report for Cedar creek lake. I'm sorry I haven't posted a report in a while but here it is, the lake level is over 2' low and the water temperature is in the mid 40's. The clarity ranges from slightly stained to very stained heading north.

Hybrid and sandies are best around mainlake bait schools in 30 to 50' water, try plastic shad imitations rigged on open hooked jigheads 2 to 10' off bottom depending on the position of the fish on your graph. Drifting and anchoring are both effective.

Crappie are tough but you can find fish in deeper brush and on deep flats around shad schools as well. Fish brush in 16 to 25' and flats adjacent to points, humps and creeks in 24 to 40' water.

Catfish are good drifting deep on the lower end of the lake and anchoring shallow on the north end. Fresh cut shad or rough fish is the best bait. You should find fish in 24 to 40' water from mid lake south and in 2 to 10' on the upper end.

Largemouth can be found on docks but you'll need to fish super slow with jigs, plastics and crankbaits. You can also find fish on rock or brush in various depths, some deeper points, humps and brushpiles will hold fish as well. Try heavier jigs, drop-shots and c-rigs in these areas.

Thanks as always for reading my report and I hope it helps you get on the fish faster your next trip out. To book a trip with me call 903-603-2047

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 87 degrees; 0.07 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. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom. Drifting larger cut bait like carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
