Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report for April 2024




While recent rains and a brief cold front have slowed down the Crappie action a bit, fear not – brighter days are just around the corner. With temperatures on the rise, we anticipate the Crappie bite picking up momentum day by day, promising even better fishing adventures ahead.

And let's not forget about our lively White Bass friends! Despite the temporary setback from the weather, they were putting on quite the show under the watchful eyes of circling birds before the cold front rolled in. Rest assured, as the weather warms, so too will the White Bass action, offering thrilling moments on the water for all our eager anglers.

Looking ahead to April, we're gearing up for some seriously good Crappie and White Bass action. It's a prime time to reel in those big catches and soak up the beautiful weather before the summer heat kicks in.

So don't miss out on the excitement! Grab your gear, pack your sunscreen, and head on over to Cedar Creek Lake for a fishing experience like no other. We'll see you out on the water!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 18)

GOOD. stained; 55 degrees; 3.76 feet below pool. 55-57 degrees; 3.71 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is now in full swing! 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 35-50 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 as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier/colder days. The crappie bite has been getting better. 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. 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. Due to the low water you can only get a few hundred yards away. 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.
