Cedar Creek Lake Crappie Fishing Report For March 17




The Crappie slowed down after the big cold front last week, however, we are finally seeing higher water temps again. Water temps were 49 degrees this morning and we are expecting the bite to drastically improve with big changes in patterns as the water temps reach 60 degrees.

Yesterday morning, in 4 hours,  we had about 50 White Bass and 25 Crappie. This morning, we had about 25 White Bass and about 15 Crappie.  We expect the Crappie to start doing very well as they begin to spawn. 

The weather forecast is predicting PERFECT fishing conditions in the next week at Cedar Creek Lake.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 12)

GOOD. stained; 58 degrees; 0.10 feet above pool. The bite is consistent. The hybrid and white bass deadsticking bite will be here for just a few more weeks while the water temperature increases with the warmer weather. The white bass and hybrids will be making their run into the creek arms and will settle in along shallow points and shallower water to lay their eggs for spawning. 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 22-36 feet of water. 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. Try smaller sized plastics as the bite will be smaller sized baits. 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 is on docks and in creeks with minnows or jigs. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Still shallow around creek mouths and also drifting random depths 10-40 feet with cut shad or rough fish. Water is stained and surface temps are in the mid to.high 50's lake is full. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
