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 (Mar. 26)

FAIR. stained; 61 degrees; 0.16 feet below pool. Hybrid and white bass are returning to the main lake after their annual spawning run into the creeks. These fish are now congregating on wind-blown points throughout the lake and on shallower flats near drop-offs and ledges. The shad spawn will begin in the coming weeks, which will trigger early morning schooling action along shallow points and seawalls, attracting birds to the area. To target these fish, use 1/2 ounce to 1-1/2 ounce slabs and spinnerbaits. Work the baits close to the bottom, as this will entice strikes. Thumping the bottom of the boat will also help group fish underneath as you fish these spots. The crappie bite is strong around docks, bridges, and in creeks, with minnows or jigs proving to be effective. Catfish are biting well in shallow flats at the mouths of major creeks and along adjacent points and shorelines in 2-6 feet of water. For deeper water, try anchoring or drifting with fresh shad on main lake flats in 12-24 feet. This catfish bite should remain productive for another month. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are shallow around creek mouths drifting in 12-24 feet of water with cut shad or rough fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
