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 (Apr. 23)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.12 feet below pool. Fishing patterns remain consistent. 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.
