OCTOBER 23RD 2018 CEDAR CREEK LAKE FISHING REPORT WITH DALLASFISHINGCHARTERS.COM AND BIGCRAPPIE.COM




October 23rd 2018 Fishing report for Cedar Creek Lake Last week we received almost a week of cold 50 degree rain and the lake went from 2ft low to over full pool with the flood gates opening. Our water temp went from 84 to 66 degrees during that time also. That’s a major cool down for a week. Luckily the fishing has remained solid overall. The crappie & white bass got a little tougher but I’ve still managed to limit on the last three crappie trips since it’s stopped raining. I saw the first group of Loons on the lake today. They are here early this year due to the cooler than normal weather.

The crappie are still holding on brush, docks, & bridges in the 6-20ft range depending on conditions and the location of where your fishing. The north end of the lake is 3-4 degrees cooler than the south end. Creek arms are also cooler with water temps in the mid 60’s. The white bass are holding in 10-20ft of water off main lake points and humps. They can be caught on spoons & other shiny baits presented at there depth.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 20)

GOOD. normal stain; 68 degrees; 3.32 feet below pool. The recent storms slowed down the fishing just a bit. Still finding hybrids and white bass on midlake points and drop offs along sandy flats throughout the dam area, Crappie Island, Key Ranch and the spillway humps in 11-17 feet. Cast spinners and slabs and look for schooling fish on these flats as well as deeper seawalls and shorelines. Fish any hump in 14-22 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools as the day warms up. Look for schooling fish on cloudier days. Use spinnerbaits or drop a slab down to the bottom and work it fast up and down and the fish will hit it immediately. Also throwing out a slab and reeling it back with a slow retrieve is also working well. Cast rattle traps, Spoons,Umbrella Rigs, slabs or sassy shads to get the hybrids to bite. The crappie bite has been getting better. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 5-12 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. You may catch 4-5 and then have to move on to another spot on some days. Limits are being reported, although guides have been reporting conditions are improving with bigger sized fish being caught. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are good on shallow flats in the mouths of the major creeks and the adjacent points and shorelines are holding fish in 2 -6 feet, or with fresh shad anchored or drifting on mainlake flats in 12-24 feet. This bite should hold up for another month or so. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
