Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for August 30 , 2017




Hi folks, Jason Barber here with the www.kingscreekadventures.com fishing and lake report for Cedar creek lake. The lake is about half a foot low and the water temperature is around 80 degrees give or take a few. The clarity is decent ranging from slightly stained to stained heading north...

The crappie have been very consistent this year and can still be caught a number of ways, try brushpiles and bridges as well as a few of the deeper docks. Jigs and minnows will work equally as well depending on what you like...

Catfish are good on fresh shad fished on bottom near mainlake humps in 12 to 24' on the south end and are scattered on the upper end of the lake. Different methods will work throughout the lake from jugs to trot-lines...

Large mouth are best around docks, brushpiles and mainlake points, shaky heads, tx rigs and crankbaits are best. Throw in some top water early and late to get an extra bite or two on some days.

Hybrid and sandies are also on mainlake humps and points and can be caught on slabs, swimbaits and trolling deep divers as well as live bait. Use your graph to locate fish in the 12 to 30' ranges and try to get them going.

Thanks for reading my report and I hope it helps you get on the fish faster your next trip out. To book with me please call 903-603-2047

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 11)

GOOD. stained; 55 degrees; 3.70 feet below pool. 55-57 degrees; 3.71 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite has started! Use 1/2 ounce to 1.5 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes and drift long lengths of the lake in the deepest water 35-50 feet. Drift at speeds of .2-.6 mph using your drift mode on your trolling motor or using drift socks. If the winds are not too bad you can just drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath as you drift. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. Fish stacked up in schools in 22 feet of water as the day warms up. Look for schooling fish on cloudier and colder days. Use spinnerbaits or drop a slab down to the bottom and work it fast up and down and the fish will hit it immediately. Also throwing out a slab and reeling it back with a slow retrieve is also working well. Cast rattle traps, Spoons, Umbrella Rigs, slabs or sassy shads to get the hybrids to bite. The crappie bite has been getting better. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The shallow bite continues to be good for catfish along wind blown banks and points near the mouths of major creeks where the actual creek runs into the lake. Due to the low water you can only get a few hundred yards away. Fish in 2-6 feet with fresh shad anchored on bottom. The deep bite is also good dragging bigger cut shad or rough fish in 15-30 feet drifting main lake flats. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
