    Fishing Cedar Creek Lake with BigCrappie.com Lake and Fishing Report

    CRAPPIE: Excellent / Good We have been catching lots of nice Crappie in 6-15ft of water lately. Jigs on 6lb line has been producing very good. The bite is light so watching your line is important. WHITE BASS:Excellent Big numbers of White Bass have been common on main lake points lately. HYBRID STRIPER: The Hybrid Striper have been heating up on Cedar Creek also. We have been catching Hybrids up to 8lbs. FILL THE FREEZER!!! MIXED FISH TRIPS These trips are focusing mainly on CATCHING FISH of every species. White Bass, Crappie, Hybrid Striper and Catfish. These trips are a lot of fun because you get to experience different techniques and fishing patterns for several different types of fish. The MOST bang for your buck! WHAT ARE THE FISH GOING TO DO NEXT????? Crappie: The crappie are now on brush, and after a good two months worth of spawning, boy are they hungry! Morning and afternoon have both been very successful, as the fish are now completely refocused on eating. The next couple of months should be nothing short of awesome, as we enjoy mild temperatures, and calming winds. Our crappie bite should remain excellent well into July, and then it picks back up in October. White Bass and Hybrid Striper: Both species have been readily available, as our fish return from the creeks with growling bellies. All that swimming around trying to find a mate makes for some hungry fish, which makes our jobs that much easier. We are starting to catch fish on very shallow points, and they should be surfacing within a matter of days. If you've never got to start your day with a couple of acres of fish jumping around you, then I suggest you book a trip sometime in the next couple of weeks. We are on a great hybrid striper bite right now, and we will be the first to tell you, there is not a harder fighting fish in freshwater. Catfish: Our catfish are getting ready to spawn, and have been visiting some very shallow water in search for shad. Cedar Creek has an excellent blue cat fishery, which allows the fishermen to fill their freezer in a very short time. A 2-5lb blue cat is second in taste only to the crappie, but fights so much harder. If you're interested in catching catfish, please let us know at the time you book your trip, so we can ensure that we have freshly caught bait on the boat.

    Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 25)

    GOOD. stained; 55 degrees; 3.88 feet below pool. 55-57 degrees; 3.71 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is now in full swing! 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 the deepest water 35-50 feet. Drift at speeds of .2 to .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 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.
