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

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 22)

GOOD. stained; 47 degrees; 2.68 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is on Fire! 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 the deepest water 35-55 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. You will find the fish suspended between 22-28 feet when deadstricking. 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 has been tough with reports of fish being scattered. 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 water clarity is stained to slightly stained heading south. The best catfish bite is drifting from 18-35 feet using cut shad or rough fish along the bottom. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
