May 16th Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report with BigCrappie.com and DallasFishingCharters.com

We've been catching a lot of fish this month. Crappie have been great on brush piles and docks. We've had some windy days and a lot of rain this month that hurt us some but overall it's been great. Jigs in 6-15 ft around any kind of cover has been the secret. If your good enough to detect small bites than you can catch them.

White bass / hybrid stripers have been on fire. For those people just wanting a tug on the end of the line than these fish give them everything they want and more. Big numbers of fish are still being caught. Check out the recent pics and give us a ring for your adventure of a lifetime.

We operate the biggest and best guide boats on the lake. We employ the most experienced guides and guarantee you'll catch fish!!!

Come join in on the fun!

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.
