May 1st Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report with BigCrappie.com and DallasFishingCharters.com




May is a great time of year to fish.  Generally most of the big cold fronts have already come and when they do they affect the fishing less.  Our crappie fishing has been great overall.  I expect this month to be even better.  With crappie moving out into deeper water we can catch them over brush tops with a few boat docks mixed in. 

White bass have been excellent this year.  Limits have been common with some bigger fish showing up on main lake points and humps.  If you are looking to catch a lot of fish these are the best way to go.  We use artificial bait and it's pretty easy fishing even for beginners.

Water temp is 72 and still a little stained.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 24)

EXCELLENT. Water slightly stained; 77 degrees; 1.71 feet below pool. Consistently finding the best hybrid action in 13-18 feet of water with slabs, and spinnerbaits using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons with a hellbender set-up at 3 mph in 13-17 feet of water is absolutely crushing the white bass on several humps throughout the lake. As water temperatures decrease into the low 70s we will target big hybrids on shallow ledges and humps with Alabama rigs. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck's Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The catfish pattern will remain consistent until cooler weather arrives. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet fishing small shad or cut shad on the bottom. Drifting larger cut bait like carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet throughout the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
