Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for 10-29-2012




With the recent cold fronts we've had, fall fishing has busted wide open, and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. The crappie are biting like crazy on jigs and minnows, with most of our fish coming off brush piles in 8-16ft of water. We're seeing several crappie in the two pound class, which always makes for an exciting trip. The white bass have been biting well on windblown points and humps, in 8-14ft of water. We've been bouncing slabs and crappie jigs off the bottom, and will continue to do so for the next several months. Our hybrids have been tough as of lately, but should be coming around nicely as the water temperatures continue to drop. Catfish have been doing well on fresh shad and perch. We have been targeting them in a number of different ways, ranging from jug lines to rod and reel. Our catfish are typically found in the same areas as our white bass, and should do well for the next month or so. If you want to chase trophy sized catfish, let us know ahead of time, and we'll do our best to but you on the fish of a life time.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 13)

EXCELLENT. normal stain; 71 degrees; 3.24 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 shown up as the weather has cooled off and we are 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 rattle traps, 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 bite remains good drifting cut bait over flats adjacent to the creek channels in 15-25 feet, or in 2-6 feet on windblown banks and points. There are still some fish on main lake humps in the 12-20 feet using small fresh shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
