Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 8)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 75 degrees; 0.51 feet above pool. Start fishing for hybrids and white bass early in the morning at daylight and hit the dam or the western shorelines of the lake and look for schooling fish close to seawalls and shorelines. After that fish any hump in depths of 22-28 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools. Use spinner baits or drop a slab down to the bottom and work it fast up and down. The fish will hit it immediately. The crappie bite has been increasingly better. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Blue catfish are shallow on shad and some moving to humps in 6-18 feet on cut shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
