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.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 11)

GOOD. stained; 55 degrees; 3.70 feet below pool. 55-57 degrees; 3.71 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite has started! Use 1/2 ounce to 1.5 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes 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. Fish stacked up in schools in 22 feet of water as the day warms up. Look for schooling fish on cloudier and colder days. 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 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.
