Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for April 18, 2024




Crappie Update:

While the bite has been fair recently, we're thrilled to announce that as of today, things have taken a turn for the better! The Crappie are definitely more active, and dock shooting is the name of the game if you want to reel 'em in! With lots of rain recently and the spillway gates wide open, the Crappie bite has been affected this spring. They've been cozying up under boat docks, and pretty soon, they'll be hitting those brush tops like there's no tomorrow. Jigs have been the MVP bait, but don't count out those trusty minnows either! Pro tip: If you're up for a challenge, try your hand at dock shooting - it can be challenging but oh-so-rewarding!

White Bass & Hybrid Striper:

White Bass action kicked off with a bang just a few weeks ago. Birds diving, hybrids lurking - it was a fishing frenzy! Although it slowed down for a bit, fear not! We spotted some surface action just the other day, and we've been reeling in some solid numbers of White Bass, with the occasional Hybrid Striper making an appearance.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 9)

FAIR. stained; 61 degrees; 0.30 feet above pool. Hybrid and white bass are returning to the main lake after their annual spawning run into the creeks. These fish are now congregating on wind-blown points throughout the lake and on shallower flats near drop-offs and ledges. The shad spawn will begin in the coming weeks, which will trigger early morning schooling action along shallow points and seawalls, attracting birds to the area. To target these fish, use 1/2 ounce to 1-1/2 ounce slabs and spinnerbaits. Work the baits close to the bottom, as this will entice strikes. Thumping the bottom of the boat will also help group fish underneath as you fish these spots. The crappie bite is strong around docks, bridges, and in creeks, with minnows or jigs proving to be effective. Catfish are biting well in shallow flats at the mouths of major creeks and along adjacent points and shorelines in 2-6 feet of water. For deeper water, try anchoring or drifting with fresh shad on main lake flats in 12-24 feet. This catfish bite should remain productive for another month. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The water is 2 feet high and stained. Catfish are in the shallows in 2-6 feet or drifting deeper water in 12-24 feet with fresh cut shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
