May 16th Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report with BigCrappie.com and DallasFishingCharters.com

We've been catching a lot of fish this month. Crappie have been great on brush piles and docks. We've had some windy days and a lot of rain this month that hurt us some but overall it's been great. Jigs in 6-15 ft around any kind of cover has been the secret. If your good enough to detect small bites than you can catch them.

White bass / hybrid stripers have been on fire. For those people just wanting a tug on the end of the line than these fish give them everything they want and more. Big numbers of fish are still being caught. Check out the recent pics and give us a ring for your adventure of a lifetime.

We operate the biggest and best guide boats on the lake. We employ the most experienced guides and guarantee you'll catch fish!!!

Come join in on the fun!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 23)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.12 feet below pool. Fishing patterns remain consistent. 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. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits with a very slow retrieve off the bottom in 17-26 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. The shad spawn is in full swing, so the early shallow wall bite is on fire all over the lake. Fresh caught shad tossed up to the walls on bottom or under a float are a sure way to catch good numbers of nice eating sized catfish. There is still a deeper drifting bite in 12-24 feet of water using cut shad, drum or carp drifted along the bottom. Many fish being caught in the 10-50 pound range. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
