Exploring the Next Exit




   For those coming in from the Metroplex, try throwing a twist in your weekend getaway to Cedar Creek Lake by taking the next exit. You may be tempted to enter through the first "Gateway" by exiting off of HWY 175 through the City of Kemp and coming down through Seven Points. While that's always a good choice, there's another "Gateway" and if you keep those tires rolling for another 10 miles, you may be enticed to park it all and take a stroll before hitting the waters.

   Nestled on the East side of the lake, lies the quaint  town of Mabank, full of little gems that will spark your families' interest any time of year.

   So, you did it. You listened to the rambler pressing you to skip your exit. Now what? Now......

You hit up Market Street!!!

   Goodness, I cannot tell you everything in one setting about this amazing little street. This place makes me so happy. From antiques, vintage treasures, beauty shops and the BEST chicken salad I've ever tasted, to fun street music, boutiques, dancing and wine. Market street brings the horse and carriage atmosphere back with a modern meander. 

   Chances are, you will find something you can't live without and you might end up driving home with something strapped to the top of the car. It's that cool. Or you may find something and have to strap the kids to the top. Even cooler. Ha! All jokes aside, be prepared to loosen the reins and embrace the unique charm of this truly, 'The Best Little Market Street'.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 5)

GOOD. stained; 48 degrees; 0.50 feet below pool. The pattern is consistent. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is on fire! 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 35-55 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 and 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. Catfish continue to be deep with a few fish shallow. The water clarity is stained to slightly stained heading south. The best catfish bite is drifting from 18-35 feet using cut shad or rough fish along the bottom. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
