Cedar Creek Wipers

Greetings All,

I took a job last year up in the Dallas area and rented a house on Cedar Creek ( Malakoff Area ). I love the city money, just not the city life...lol. I keep my boat down on Toledo Bend, but after we moved here and the lake came up enough to get water under the boat house, I decided to bring my boat up here for a few weeks.
We bass fished and caught a few and some crappie as well. We did find a massive school of wipers blowing up a huge shad ball under the boat in about 20'. So we broke out the DD22's and went to work. Managed to catch about 9-10 and these were the largest of the bunch. Since then, I have taken my boat back to TB and there it will remain aside from the trip to Rayburn every now and again.
Here are a couple of pics from that day.

Very nice.

I never heard them called wipers.

Nice wipers! I know the upper Midwest calls hybrids wipers. Is that where ur from, Dale?

Naw, I am a web footed swamp runner from DeRidder Louisiana. I know the locals here call them wipers because they are a hybrid cross of some kind...lol

My friends in Kansas call them that, It always makes me laugh.

The folks in the Midwest do call them wiper, white bass/striper cross. Most of the normal folks do anyway. It took me a few seconds during a conversation with one guy, to realize what he meant when he said wiper. I had a couple of guys say it is a derogatory term for a temperate species of fish. To each their own I guess.
Nice hybrid pics anyway.

I found out couple of years ago, people in the northeast I believe, calls stripers rock fish. I was bank fishing and a fellow angler walking by asked if I caught anything. I replied, just a bunch of rock fish. He got all excited and started asking me how big they were and wanted to see the ones I caught. Then i proceeded to say that I was referring to me snagging rocks with my lure. Lol. Then after laughing about it he told me where he came from, they call stripers rock fish.

Nice Fish!

Nice fish!

Couple nice bass ! Are they stocking all lakes in East Texas with hybreds and stripers now . What about just plain ole LMB ?
