The Mabank High School Choir entertained the Cedar Creek Lake Chamber of Commerce with a Christmas program at the presentation of the new 2016 Board of Directors Dec. 10 at the Cedar Creek Country Club luncheon.

The chamber recognized Cedar Creek Brewery as the Business of the Month, and the luncheon was sponsored by BnR Pitt Grill owners who promised big changes to their venue in 2016. To help celebrate their 5th anniversary, the restaurant and club will be redoing the facade, adding a patio in back and making other big changes in the operation, the owners said.

Robbye Grisson said the changes would be designed to attract customers, who usually pass by the business, to stop and enjoy the food and drink.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 15)

GOOD. stained; 50 degrees; 2.61 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 on shallow flats as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier/colder days. The crappie bite has been tough with reports of fish being scattered. 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. Still 2.7 low and water temps are in the 50 degree range give or take a degree with the clarity being stained to slightly stained heading south. The best bite is now drifting from 18 to 35' using cut shad or rough fish along the bottom. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
