Cedar Creek Lake Fishing Report
Catch cats like this with Jason Barber
Fishing Report, Cedar Creek Lake 2/16/15
Hey guys and gals, Jason Barber here with the www.kingscreekadventures.com fishing and lake report for Cedar Creek Lake.The lake level is at 4.90′ low and the water temperature is in the high 40’s to low 50’s give or take a few degrees. The water clarity ranges from stained to very stained heading north.
The Hybrids and Sandies are still deep and the best way to get a bite is still in deep water. The dead stick bite is a great way to catch good fish both hybrids and white bass alike. Try small shad imitations from crappie sized to 4″ and many colors will work. Stay in 30 to 50′ of water and drop the bait down to the bottom and fish 1 to 10′ up from the bottom. Try banging, bumping, stomping or kicking the boat floor for some extra attention from the fish “and anyone else close by” and this will simulate lots of birds feeding on schools of shad and attract the predator fish.
The crappie are moving shallow but the inconsistent weather will keep the bite hit and miss for a little longer. Some fish are being caught in 3 to 6′ of water inside the marinas and a few fish have been caught way up in the creeks as well. With all that being said it’s time to start keeping tabs on a shallower bite for the beloved crappie. Don’t totally overlook the staging areas where they stack up heading to spawn, these are great areas to find large schools and get multiple bites.
The Catfish are available in the entire lake right now. You can choose to drift in deeper water throughout the lower end of the lake or fish the shallow north end of the lake in 2 to 10′ for great action bottom fishing. Either way you decide to go you will need fresh cut fish for bait, try shad, drum, carp or bream for the most part.
As for the large mouth, try sneaking into spawning coves and fishing down the shoreline throwing a chatter bait or spinner bait to cover water. I always have a jig or smaller plastic worm or creature bait ready to pick apart any good looking cover you may find or a deeper dock that has 2 to possibly 10′ of water on it “of which the latter are hard to find” this will get you some extra bites and probably your best ones.
Thanks as always for your time and support, if I can answer any questions about the lake or the fishing here on Cedar Creek Lake please contact me. If you would like to book a fishing trip I’d be happy to accommodate. You can reach me at 903 603 2047 or 903 887 7896 .

Carters Lake.
Line side fishing is very good. We have been catching stripers up to 24 pounds and hybrids weighing close to 13 pounds this past month. Down lining shad at 30 to 50 feet has been our best over all bite. The mouth of most of the major creeks on the south end of the lake are holding stripers. And the backs of the Creeks, main lake points and humps are holding the Hybrids. Fresh bait is the key to catching line sides on Carter. Be sure to carry plenty of bait. We are also catching a few fish on lead core. I am running a 2 ounce jig with a white trailer and 7 to 9 colors depending on the day at 2.9 miles and hour.
Anglers, we have a book on BASS FISHING LAKE ALLATOONA that has GPS 50 coordinates also.

Fishing Report for Cuba Tarpon Fly Fishing On the Run
Catch tarpon like this fly fishing in Cuba
Fishing Report, Cuba Tarpon 5/22/14
TWO HEAVENS IN ONE PLACE
Tarpon-Cuba
For all the fly fisher globetrotters is a quest every year to choose the right place and the exact moment. We are always looking for tides, moon phases, fish run and operations that can meet the expectation of a highly anticipated week, that we could schedule between family holidays, birthdays and others obligations. Finally we have the clue between high-end exclusive services and tarpon fishing that can blow your head off.
During the last week of April and the first days of May 2014 we booked the very first operation week with fishermen of the impressive Avalon 2 Yacht, that fish out from Jucaro Port, 350 miles south from Habana in Cuba to Gardens of the Queen. There, you’ll find a live aboard where you could stay days, weeks or months, with all the ammenities you could imagine, from the skyline jacuzzi in the last floor to the freestyle slide of the second floor. So, having the right place to stay inside an amazing marine park like Gardens of the Queen, we only have to peak the fishing zone of the area and the season.
After been working for several years at Cuba, we heard about the new fishing area at the end of the Gardens, near fifty marine miles south from Tortuga, yes sir, that far south. The Gardens are huge and you could fish a month without repeat the same area. Just two years ago they start fishing this southernmost point, where the tarpon run appears during the first full moon of April in an amazing run of “sabalos”, if you have already fished “boca grande” in the Gardens, this is even better, so well, just imagine. Been there, I can only say that this is one of the few places left in the world where you could fish schools of tarpon from one or two to hundreds of them, in sizes from 20 pounds to over 120 pounds and it is not uncommon to see female tarpons with ten males around her daisy chain, in strings or just moving in a spawning ritual. Just 1 mile away from these channels flats, you have runs of big size tarpon rolling just like Holbox and also other places in deep waters, but that´s another story. Just to give you a “screenshot”, one day our 5 skiffs where “in line” waiting for the daily “run”, moment after a big string of more that 60 tarpon roll in front of us, right away we were all jumping or hooking on tarpons, it was really awesome and I couldn’t believe it. You could see long strings at other locations but this tarpon eat flies with madness, in the same cast you could jump two or three tarpons just keep retrieving the line and you will see.
Long story short “Two Heavens in One Place”, this new area in Gardens of the Queen is a tarpon madness and Avalon 2 yacht is beyond any expectations, just try to be there in the exact moment, we can help you to be in ” heaven”, you´ll not be disappointed.

Tims Ford Smallmouth and Largemouth bass
Tims Ford Fishing Reprt
by: Captain Jake Davis
Tim’s Ford Forecast – Over the past few weeks, we’ve enjoyed a good Jig, crankbait and Carolina rig bite in 5 to 25 FOW. Water temperatures improved to the 59-62 degree range, moving Smallmouth and Largemouth alike to their spawning areas throughout the lake. Crappie action is good on docks and brush in the 10-20 FOW range.
Concentrate early on main lake points working your way back into pockets a short distance close to the spawning areas. Probing main lake gravel rounds and flats with Rapala DT-10 and DT 20 crankbaits, Missile Baits Fuse 4.4 on a Carolina Rig and Tightline Football Head jigs are a great way to boat a monster fish. Watch for the top water bite to explode on the lake in May as we see the shad spawn start around the second week of the month. A good indication the shad spawn has started is large schools for shad running the rock banks and around dock on the main lake.
As a reminder, please wear your PFDs and beware of your surroundings, boating accidents can happen to anyone! Make your reservations now for some great spring action on Guntersville or Tim’s Ford.
Four bass from Lake Guntersville
Lake Guntersville Fishing Report
by: Captain Jake Davis
Lake Guntersville Forecast – What a turn around on Guntersville; so far this spring the Mighty “G” really shined for all levels of anglers. I look for May to be no different than March and April. With fish in post and pre-spawn patterns and the famed arrival of the shad spawn during the second and third weeks for the month.
Over the past month we found our fish in 1 to 25 foot of water on a combination of baits, ranging from Assassinator Buzz Baits, Rattle Baits, Swim Baits, Rapala DT-6, 10, 16 crankbaits, Tightline football head jigs with Missile Baits trailers to single swim baits and Missile baits D-Bombs.
May will bring us a terrific spinner bait and top water bite, look for pop-r’s, spooks, Sammy’s and buzz baits to be the talk of the lake. Anglers should not forget the deep crank bait bite; Guntersville has a history of producing huge sacks of fish in May when angler employ deep diving crank baits such as Rapala DT 16 or DT 20 crankbaits on drops and channel grass.
Water temperatures range between 66 to 72 degrees.
Now is the time to plan your late spring trip to Guntersville, call me to reserve a date; May will bring the shad spawn and a great top water season. The ledge bite will start in late May and early June.

WINDS LAY DOWN AND BEST YELLOWTAIL BITE OF SEASON GOES OFF!
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of March 24-31, 2013
The winds started laying down early in the week and got better from there. By the time mid-week hit, the best yellowtail bite of the season kicked in with as many fish lost as being caught and anglers canceling boats because they caught “too many fish!” Got lots of great photos this week and all the details!
