Tiki Hut waterfront restaurant reopens for high season




TOOL -- One of the most common questions heard from visitors to Cedar Creek Lake is, "Where can we go to eat on the waterfront?" For the last several months the answer has been a disappointing, "There isn't any place." But now, as of Saturday, April 20, at 11 a.m., visitors and other newcomers can be directed to the Tiki Hut at Don's Port Marina when it reopens for the high season. The restaurant serves drinks and foods in the open air on a deck facing the lake or inside. The menu includes sandwiches, burgers, seafood and traditional American dishes. There is a full bar, and it is a fun place to go. The scenery of boats coming and going is pleasant, and Don's Port Marina is convenient for boat gas, supplies and renting equipment for water sports such as the new sport paddleboarding. Boats slips and boat repair also are available. Call 903-432-2268, email [email protected] or visit donsportmarina.com

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 12)

GOOD. stained; 58 degrees; 0.10 feet above pool. The bite is consistent. The hybrid and white bass deadsticking bite will be here for just a few more weeks while the water temperature increases with the warmer weather. The white bass and hybrids will be making their run into the creek arms and will settle in along shallow points and shallower water to lay their eggs for spawning. Use half ounce to 1-1/2 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes depending on what the winds are and drift long lengths of the lake in 22-36 feet of water. 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. Try smaller sized plastics as the bite will be smaller sized baits. Look for Birds and Loons early mornings on shallow flats as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier and colder days. The crappie bite is on docks and in creeks with minnows or jigs. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Still shallow around creek mouths and also drifting random depths 10-40 feet with cut shad or rough fish. Water is stained and surface temps are in the mid to.high 50's lake is full. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
