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 (Jan. 15)

GOOD. stained; 50 degrees; 2.61 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is now in full swing! Use half 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-.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/colder days. The crappie bite has been tough with reports of fish being scattered. 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. Still 2.7 low and water temps are in the 50 degree range give or take a degree with the clarity being stained to slightly stained heading south. The best bite is now drifting from 18 to 35' using cut shad or rough fish along the bottom. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
