First Day of School around Cedar Creek Lake




August 1st is tomorrow and many families in the area are gearing up for local school districts doors to open up for the always anticipated first day.

Every parent also knows what is coming with the hustle and bustle of the daily mornings getting ready and the traffic that comes with the early starts for us and our children.

Athens to the East of us starts the earliest on Monday, August 5th, starting their pilot program that includes a 4 day instructional week. The program, will last for the next 3 years.

Trinidad, Malakoff and Mabank start Wednesday, August 14th with Eustace and Kemp resuming classes Wednesday, August 21.

What will Cedar Creek Lake look like this year with the population growing at a steady average of around 1.5% each year and how will it effect the everyday life of the locals. Will it be a madhouse? The first week is presumably going to be, as we all get back into our normal routines that help the flow of life during the school year.

Tax free weekend is also coming up Friday August 9-11.

Cedar Creek Lake

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.
