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.
