Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Reports
Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 19)
FAIR. stained; 58 degrees; 0.03 feet below pool. The deadstick bite for hybrid and white bass will be here for a few more weeks. White bass and hybrids will be making the annual run into the creek arms and will settle in along shallow points and shallower water to lay eggs for spawning. Use 1/2 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 of water with cut shad or rough fish. Water is stained and surface temperatures are in the mid to high 50s. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
