She notes that Cedar Creek Lake provides the perfect setting for her downtime interests. CCL.com: Are you a weekender or a full-time resident? Campos: I'm a weekender, and we chose it because we have friends who invited us out for a Labor Day picnic -- we liked it so much we immediately started househunting. CCL.com: What are your favorite things to do and places to visit on the lake? Campos: I just love the peace and quiet! I don't fish or water ski, but I like to eat fish. There are so many good restaurants we rarely cook out. I think the SEADOS are the most fun you can have with your clothes on. CCL.com: What has been the reaction of your family and friends to the lake when they visit? Campos: They like it too. My sister is the fisher person in the family. CCL.com: What do you view as the benefits of being on the lake as opposed to life in the big city? Campos: Did I mention peace and quiet? A slower pace, small town and friendly folks! CCL.com: What new conveniences and attractions would you like to see developed on the lake? Campos: Hmmm, geez. That's a good question. I think the kids would like more to do on dry land, maybe mini golf, a water park? I have no idea. I like things just the way they are.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 19)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 82 degrees; 0.06 feet above pool. Water is partially stained but is clearing up quickly with hot calmer days. Start early in the morning at daylight and hit the dam for hybrids and white bass, or along the western and eastern shorelines of the lake in depths of 4-10 feet. Cast spinnerbaits and slabs and look for schooling fish close to seawalls and shorelines. After that fish any hump in depths of 17--8 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools. Use spinnerbaits like a mepps#4 spinner 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. The evening bite from 5-8pm has also been very good. Hit up seawalls close to points in depths of 7-12 feet and cast rattle traps, spoons or sassy shads to get the Hybrids to bite.The crappie bite has been getting increasingly better. Now that the water is receding target crappie with small jigs in 5-12 feet under bridge pylons or under docks. Quick limits are being reported. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Decent bite for eater size catfish on humps and points in 16-24 feet on cut shad. Water stained and around in the high 70s low 80s. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
