February Fishing with BigCrappie.com Cedar Creek Lake




Crappie: GOOD We had a busy week catching fish which always makes for some great guide trips. We have continuously been catching them in much shallower water lately. This is usually a pretty good indicator that the Crappie are beginning to move into their spawning areas here on Cedar Creek Lake. Today we had some beautiful Crappie caught in shallow water. The male Crappie are showing their "war paint" and turning almost black as their hormones go crazy for the seasons spawn. The females are full of eggs and looking for their nesting spot. We are using Slab Bandits and Lights Out Tackle jigs on every trip. If you are looking to get in on the early bite then now is the time!!! White Bass: EXCELLENT BITE! Our trip on Saturday limited out in about 90 minutes on White Bass! What a blast for every level of angler to enjoy. If you want some fun fighting action then book now for your White Bass extravaganza. We also offer Mixed Fish trips to catch Crappie, White Bass, Hybrid Striper and Catfish. We normally start off on White Bass then change over to Crappie fishing about half way into the trip. We are also offering evening trips now. All of you that would enjoy a relaxing guided fishing trip after a long day at work can take advantage of the evening fishing trips now. Please call or email now for availability and a trip of a lifetime!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 8)

GOOD. stained; 55 degrees; 2.77 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass deadsticking bite is now in full swing! Use 1/2 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 drift socks, or drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. Fish are 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 cloudy cold days. 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. Water temperatures are dropping again and should be in the low 50s soon. The recent rains have brought the water up and the water is stained. The catfish have moved into running water in front of the motor creeks but can also still be caught out deep with the same techniques. 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. 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.
