Cedar Creek Lake Friday December 30, 2011 with Eric Emeritz and George Snokhous.

On the lake at 9AM and for the next 3 hours it was mostly looking and fishing but not catching. Marked what we thought were fish but couldn’t get them to hit the rainbow silver shad slab. A little after noon, marked a good concentration of fish on the long ridge at 22 feet but they still would not hit the silver shad. Finally we down sized to a small chartreuse slabs fished slowly off the bottom a foot or so and then slowly let the slab fall back to the bottom and immediately starting getting very light taps. Fish were hard to hook as they would just lightly tap the slab making it hard to set the hook but we did manage to put 30 big sand bass in the ice chest before heading to the ramp at 2PM. No hybrids today.

It was a beautiful sunny day with light wind out of the northwest and water temperature at 51 degrees. More boats on the lake today than I have seen in the last 2 months.

Now for the fillet knife.


George is going to celebrate New Years Eve with a big fish fry.

Looks like you guys had the same results we did. Steve and I saw a lot more of the lake than usual, found fish several places but only caught 3 hybrids.

We caught several sand bass at numerous locations, just never could find the mother lode.

could you please help me and tell me where i can launch on the west side of the lake preferably by cedar creek landing, thank you

Unless you know of a POA ramp there aren't any serviceable ramps on the west side of the lake.
Cedar Creek landing has been closed for several years.
Log Cabin is the best/only place to launch at this time.

i didnt realize that was yall doyle and eric. i would have stopped and said hi. i was in the bluewave drifting for catfish on the long ridge. the only fish we caught were in 35 to 40 ft. it just wasnt a very good day to be catching.
