Saturday 7/28/2018: Took TFFer GregW and his friend William out for a Cedar Creek trip yesterday. Greg had never fished Cedar Creek Lake and wanted to see the Mepps technique 1st hand. I picked them up at 6:30 AM near Game Warden Hump, so we went straight there. It turned out to be the best spot of the day. We ended up with 100: 92 whites, 2 short hybrids, 1 cat, 1 crappie and 4 good sized yellow bass. The 2nd best spot was Merimac Point. In both places we were fishing a shallow (12 to 16 fow) pattern. We caught them on Mepps 2's and 4's with 2's working a little better. We also tried Enchanted Isle Ridge, Spillway Hump, Iron Wall Hump and Slide Hump but caught few on those spots. William showed me something new to try with Mepps. He sprayed it with garlic scent, and it seemed to help when fish were finicky about biting. I'm going to try it when, in August and September, I can see fish on deep structures, but they won't bite, and I have to fish shallow structures to catch fish. In my 52 years of fishing for white bass I have never seen or heard of spraying a scent on the lure to catch them - crappie and catfish yes, not white bass. Here are some pics of our outing: William with nice white: Greg and William with double:

Good report Dennis. If you would have let some past you at Game Warden , I might have caught a few. We did not do any good at all. Guess I should have followed you around! Then again , you would not have let any past your boat anywhere else either. You my friend, have a gift for catching fish for sure !!

Dennis, had a great time. Never used Meps before and always used slabs so that was a new twist. I usually use shad scent fishing with slab/spinner/crank, and gralic for plastics, but I think garlic is good all the time. As to how to tie a drop shot, it's a simple palomar knot with a 12" trailer for your weight. Then you need a finess worm. I use roboworms https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Roboworm_Straight_Tail_Worms/descpage-RW45ST.html in halogram dawn, but think many colors will work. Use a 2/0 of their hook: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Roboworm_Rebarb_Hooks/descpage-RWRBH.html. Works great around concrete pillars, or anywhere you can find bass under the boat and close by. The presentation isn't as good if the line has to be at a significant angle, so I don't cast real far out. Generally I hook the worm right at the nose, but this picture shows more of a wacky technique so I'd probably use a Senko worm in that instance. I got a 6.5' on this at Pool this year on a spinner rig with 10lb floro. The hook set is easy because the hook is already facing up, so just a pop straight up sets the hook in the top of their mouth. And in the fall, we'll take you to Rayburn and get some serious bass out of that lake. Thanks again for the ride. Love fishing with other anglers as we all learn something every time.

Nice report on the fishing. We will be headed to Cedar Creek in the morning to fish all week. Never fished Cedar Creek Lake just passed by there headed to the drag strip. Figured we would give it a try.
