Fishing Report for Cedar Creek Lake with BigCrappie.com Chuck Rollins

Fishing everyday and staying on a consistant fishhing pattern is the way to find and catch more fish. Every season the fish move and behave differently. Winter time fishing is a blast! Right now the Crappie are in a pre spawn patteren. You can catch them anywhere between 5-25ft depending on the weather. Trips have been very sucessful taking time to work your bait slowly through structure. This time of year can present some tough conditions and unstable weather patterens that somethimes effect our fishing.

Crappie we are using 6lb high vis line with mostly jigs. Fishing in 5-25ft. North end is very muddy and south end is fairly clear.

WhiteBass/Hybrids, a majority of them, are in most creeks spawing. There are still a few that can be found on main body in 1-20ft of water. Will likely stay in the creek for another month before returning to the main lake.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at pool. 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 Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 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 spinnerbaits 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.
