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 temperature is running in the high 40's to low 50's with the clarity being slightly stained to stained.
The large mouth are around any rock, brush or other debris in and around the docks and retaining walls in the 2 to 10' depth ranges. Jigs, crankbaits and plastics are best but dont rule out slow rolled spinner baits and suspending jerk baits... You may also find some fish in deep brushpiles or on deep structure in 16 to 24'.... drop shot or Carolina rig is good here as well as heavy jigs.
Crappie are slow but look up in the deeper holes of the many creeks or out deep on the mainlake and you should find a few takers. Minnows and jigs will both work...
Sandbass and hybrids are also deep and can be found in 25' to 45' of water chasing bait. Try shad imitations on jig heads or live minnows for best results.... use your electronics to find bait and fish then start there.
Catfish are both shallow and deep, try shallower on the north end in 2 to 12' and deeper on the south end say 18 to 40' of water drifting fresh shad or rough fish cutbait....
Thanks as always for reading my report and have a merry Christmas and happy new year!!! To book a trip with me call or text 903-603-2047
