Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for March 16, 2013




Hi folks, Jason Barber here with the weekly kingscreekadventures.com fishing report for Cedar Creek Lake. The water level is at 3.3 low and the water temps are creeping into the low 60's. The water is still stained to muddy going up the lake. The crappie are surging into the shallows with fish being caught in as little as a foot of water. Jigs and minnows are good as always. Crappie can be caught under docks around rocks as well as in some deeper brushpiles. The bridges are holding good numbers of fish too, stay with the first few pillars from the shore for best results. Largemouth can be caught in the back of the spawning coves as well, use spinners and soft plastics as well as topwaters and shallow cranks. Fish any visible cover in 1 to 5 ft. also pitch jigs and tx. rigged plastics to all the docks back in the coves. Catfish are biting good in shallow water on the upper end of the lake. Fresh shad is a safe bet for bait but shrimp worms and minnows will catch fish too. For a bigger bite use live perch or goldfish or stay with bigger cut shad. fish from 1 to 10 ft. until you find where they are actively feeding. The sandies and hybrids are shoiwing up on points and ridges on the north end of the lake since there are no running creeks for them to travel into. The most of them are staging on hard bottom areas near the creek areas. Try standard artificial baits that usually catch striped fish and if that doesn't work get you some fresh shad and you should see some action. Cedar Creek Bait and Tackle is now located 1/2 mile south of the light in Seven Points on hwy 274 across from Poe motors. We have all your bait and tackle needs as well as a full time fishing and hunting guide service for you. Give us a call at the baitshop at 903-432-BAIT or reach me on my cell at 903-603-2047...

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 16)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.04 feet below 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. Fish 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. 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.
