Plan on visiting grandkids in Tyler next weekend. Thought I would take them fishing on Sat and Sunday. Could do eitheer CC or Palestine. Wondering if anyone could advise since I have never been on either lake. Not looking for anyone's hotspots, but would appreciate help on where to put in and general areas for fishing. I expect that fishing standing brush with minnows would be best.

Would consider a guide for Friday if anyone has suggestions and if one is available. Would be wife and myself.

Thanks.

I'm available Friday if you decide to come to cedar creek. Were catching crappie & white bass pretty good right now. Let me know if your interested.

IMHO, CC might be your best bet. On my last 3 outings on Palestine, nothing but dinks and 3 BIG stripers. Went this morning and it looks like the lake has turned over or is in the process. Checked 2 coves (Flat Creek & Ledbetter Creek) and both has a slick of foam/gunk on top and lots of trash floating (trash like mats of dead grass, reeds etc.) There have been some good reports the last few days on CC and for a guide trip, check Big Crappie.com and Guide Chuck Rollins

Cedar Creek without a doubt. A buddy and I went out there yesterday and came home with 40 something keepers.
