April Fishing on Cedar Creek Lake with BigCrappie.com Fishing Guide

April fishing on Cedar Creek Lake is always fun with a bit of challenge sprinkled in to keep it exciting. Cedar Creek Lake fishing is AMAZING right now and will continue for the rest of the year. Staying on a consistent "Catching" pattern is what your Full Time Fishing Guide Service specializes in. The water temp is 65 degrees.

Ready to catch some fish? CRAPPIE- If you are looking to bring friends and family to Cedar Creek for a guided fishing trip, now is the time for Crappie. Crappie move out of the creeks and set up in 8-15ft water in April. Our Crappie are NOT finished spawning, yet. We will continue to catch Crappie in fairly shallow water for the next month. If you are looking to get in on the action before spawn is over, you still have time to book. During the month of April, we typically fish small jigs on light tackle and spinning rods to catch our Crappie. Now is also a great time for the “Seasoned” Crappie fisherman to come experience “Dock Shooting”. Dock Shooting is a technique we use to get our jigs underneath boat docks where the BigCrappie hang out. If you have never experienced dock shooting, you owe it to yourself to come try it once.
NIGHT TIME FISHING for White Bass fishing is AWESOME right now. IF you would like to experience night fishing trips, please call us and we will get you on the schedule.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 26)

GOOD. stained; 52 degrees; 0.12 feet above 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 can be caught in shallow water near creek mouths, or drifting in deep water with cut shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
