March 14, 2013 Fishing Report with www.BigCrappie.com




If you're wanting to catch spawning crappie, wait no longer. Our fish are now moving shallow, and we're seeing both quantity and quality. Emphasis on quality. What else could we ask for? The water temperature is creeping towards sixty degrees, which is real good news for anyone interested in filling a cooler with barn doors. We're finding our fish in water no deeper than 6ft, which means you're likely to get your wrist broke when that angry male crappie tags your jig. The next few months should be nothing short of exceptional, as we progress through spawn, and then into our well know brush pile pattern. Also view our website for details on the NEW CEDAR CREEK LAKE CRAPPIE RECORD caught while on one of our guided fishing trips. That makes 10 records for BigCrappie.com customers.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Oct. 30)

EXCELLENT. normal stain; 72 degrees; 3.28 feet below pool. Good stacks of hybrids and white bass are being found on midlake points and drop offs along sandy flats throughout the dam area, Crappie Island, Key Ranch and the spillway humps in 11-17 feet. Cast spinners and slabs and look for schooling fish on these flats as well as deeper seawalls and shorelines. Fish any hump in 14-22 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools as the day warms up. Look for schooling fish on cloudy days. The birds have slowly started showing up as the weather has cooled off and we will be seeing more of these on a regular basis when it is cloudy. Use spinnerbaits or drop a slab down to the bottom and work it fast up and down and the fish will hit it immediately. Also throwing out a slab and reeling it back with a slow retrieve is also working well. Cast rattletraps, spoons, umbrella rigs, slabs or sassy shads to get the hybrids to bite. The crappie bite has been getting better. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 5-12 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. You may catch 4-5 and then have to move on to another spot on some days. Limits are being reported, although guides have been reporting conditions are improving with bigger sized fish being caught. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish have started to bite in 3-10 feet of water on cut shad. Larger fish can be caught drifting in 15-24 feet. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
