4X4: I use a 3/16 oz size of the type weight below. I put it about 15 inches up the line from the Mepps, which I tie straight to 10 lb fluorocarbon line.

4X4: I use a 3/16 oz size of the type weight below. I put it about 15 inches up the line from the Mepps, which I tie straight to 10 lb fluorocarbon line. I put a very slight bend in the #2 wire to cause it to spin more readily. If it twists on you, change direction of bend and make sure weight is straight and not creating a propeller effect.

Thank You Dennis , for sharing !

My kids and grandkids came to visit over Fathers� Day weekend, and we had a great time. Got to fish with grandson Sam and my daughter Carolyn on Saturday morning. We found fish at Merimac Point and caught 50 in about 2 hours in 16 fow using #4 Mepps. I fished a couple of other times the last few days and found fish at Drew�s Humps, Sam�s Hump and Carolyn Estates Point. Fish would take both #2 and #4 Mepps. Here are some pics from Fathers� Day fishing:

Great report Mr. Christian. Thank you. Family time is always the best time !!

Happy Father�s Day Dennis

Yesterday I took neighbors Paul H, Pat W and Paul J out for a CC fishing outing. We fished from about 3:30 to 7PM after waiting out a sudden afternoon thunder storm. Paul J is a new neighbor and fishing enthusiast, who wanted to learn the Mepps method. We ended up with 77: 61 whites, 4 short hybrids, 4 cats and 8 keeper-sized yellow bass. We found some fish at several spots including: Campbell's Hump, Dam Drop-off, Staubach Hump, Long Ridge and Long Ridge West. The last spot was the best. We left still catching fish, and Paul J finally caught on to the technique there. We caught fish on Mepps 4's and 2's in water depths of 15 to 16 and in 20 to 22 fow. The last spot was in 20 to 22 fow. The 2's and 4's worked about the same at the shallower spots and 4's best at the deeper spots. Here are some pics:

Thanks for the report Dennis. Sounds like a great time had by all. I have to get down on that end of the lake soon !!

Thanks for the report but I like to fish with lures & live bait. Is there any particular locations where I can catch some shad??? I�ll be fishing CC this weekend. I�m a virgin when it comes to Cedar Creek...
Any help is Greatly appreciated!!!

BigALWhaler: I don't do live bait. Maybe some of the other readers will weigh in. If I fished live bait I would go to the spots where I am finding fish and put the bait down on the bottom. Also use a thumper or make noise to draw fish under the boat - it works all year round - not just for dead=sticking in the winter.

Yesterday I took TFFer ShinerinTX (Brad), who drove down from DFW, out from 8:50AM til 1:20PM to demo the Mepps method. We started at Long Ridge West, where we caught 10 fish before they slowed. Then checked out Sam's Hump, Mid-lake Hump, Key Ranch, Key Rance North and 3-Jug Hump and found nothing. Then we found them on Merimac Point in 20 to 23 fow and sat there until we quit - still catching them. We ended up with 112: 101 whites, 5 cats, a short hybrid and 5 keeper sized yellow bass. Brad picked up the Mepps technique soon after we started. We caught most on #4. I tried and caught a few on 2's. Here's a couple of pics of Brad:

Thanks for showing us photos...we were up visiting Paul J this last weekend and picked up some trolling hellbenders/pet spoons! Glad he was able to hook up with Mepps technique!! We saw huge schools of shad on the graph and look forward to getting back up to Cedar Creek.

Had a lot of fun Dennis and thankful for the opportunity to fish with you. Let me know when you want to make a Whitney trip.

Took my sister Dee out this morning from 8:15 to 10:30AM. We went to a main lake hump and found fish in 23 to 25 fow. Sat there and caught 107: 100 whites, 3 cats, 2 short hybrids and 2 keeper yellow bass. All caught on #4 silver Mepps.
