Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report For March 3




The lake is sitting at almost full pool, and you know what that means - dock shooting season is almost here. Right now, most of our Crappie are in a pre-spawn pattern and staging in creeks, hanging around bridges, deeper docks, and brush tops. As the weather warms, you'll find more and more fish on boat docks. Cedar Creek Lake has tons of docks, and an experienced angler can easily fill their limit during spring by simply shooting docks. However, you must bring your A-game, as with a full lake you'll have to be able to shoot your jig under some of the lowest docks to find the fish.

White bass are also starting to move into the creeks and can be caught on spinners or small swimbaits.

Catfish are biting on live and cut bait, while largemouth bass are biting jerkbaits and topwater lures.

Now is the time to get out and enjoy the great spring fishing Cedar Creek Lake has to offer! Our boats operate daily.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 19)

GOOD. stained; 48 degrees; 0.10 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. Fishing patterns are holding steady and there is an influx of freshwater in the lake. Catfish continue to be deep with a few fish shallow. 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.
