Just got a house on Cedar Creek. Sort of near Log Cabin.

How's the fishing out there -- like realistically? Anyone have luck out there? What are your strategies??

Thanks!!!

Its a very good fishing lake....What do you like to fish for?

It is an excellent lake for most of the popular species, probably a better hybrid and sand bass lake than most as far as numbers go.

Great lake ...........yur gonna get jacked with for yr handle tho.

Can be up and down. Lots of Recreational boats in the Summer months. Can get a little crowded and scary.

It is an excellent fishing lake. When I was thinking about retiring in the 90s I began checking out large Texas lakes since fishing was my favorite sport. I decided on Cedar Creek. I know Eagle Mountain Lake and Lake Livingston well - have fished them since the 70s, and this is a better fishing lake. If you know how to locate and catch white bass, you can go out and get a limit or more every day here - at least during March thru November. I don't fish during the winter so really don't know how it is then. The crappie fishing here is good too. Those (not me) who know where the brush piles are seem to go out and get limits daily.

One major benefit of this lake is that on the south end (where you and I live) I have never seen it muddy up - it's always clear and fishable. Contrast that to Livingston which gets muddy most years in the spring and doesn't clear up until May or even June.

Another reason the lake is so good is that it has so much good structure - drop-offs, points and humps - that attract and hold white bass, hybrids and catfish. This summer I fished the south end (deep end) of Lake Palestine, and it didn't have nearly the number of structures that Cedar Creek does.

Good luck. The posts here on TFF in the various fish categories should help you a lot re how to locate and catch your fish of choice.

thanks for the responses guys. I'm excited to get in the water.

POPPA,

Been taking heat for being an Eagles fan all my life being in Texas. Was raised that way -- Dad originally from Philly.

Sunday night should be interesting :-)

E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!!!!!!!!!

you might take a guide trip or two and let some of the pros there show you the lake and a few fish catching/fish locating strategies there. I'd say if you're going to have a house on the lake and fishing a lot, dropping 200-300 bucks on a very educational trip with a guide would be a small price to pay for the knowledge you'd gain.

i have thought about doing that as well. trying to round up a couple of my buddies to chip in!!!

Call Chuck Rollins! He well show you where & how to catch fish on C.C.! Wait a minute, did I just help a philly fan? Forget what I just said, Boo Philly! Go Cowboy's!!!
Welcome to C.C.!

welcome aboard green
can't bring myself to type the rest of your handle this week

haha should be a great game. and thanks!

CC is a awesome lake. Just about any freshwater fish is plentiful in that lake.

Excellent lake! Take a look at my website I have posted daily pictures of our catch on my picture gallery. I am the only full time guide on the lake for crappie/ white bass. If your place is mid lake on the main lake I could probably pick you up from your dock. We are catching lots of crappie and white bass right now. The season generally lasts through the end of the year. Hybrid stripers have been good on overcast days but slow on sunny calm days.
Call anytime! Check out my web site.
