I am staying at Lighthouse marina and I haven't been able to catch more than 6 at a time. I am just not familiar enough with this lake. Cedar Creek, no sweat. I have thrown all around the marina and the wind blown beaches but nothing. I just dont get it. Can anyone help me with this? I have been going to the bait store for salties but they ain't done anything this time around. If I could afford to hire a guide I would but I am more than willing to compensate. If you can help send me a PM and I will get to you. It's been the trip from hell so any help would be great. Thanks y'all.

Thanks. I have been getting up at 3am every day hitting every light. I think I'm cursed.

Mods. I am very sorry. Does the one reply a day rule apply here too or just the classifieds? Sorry thought about it right after I hit send

Interesting. That is how I remember getting them up there in years past.

I have been finding them in deeper water. Go out and find a few with your sonar then hang some lights off your boat and slowly drift and you should see them hitting the top of the water, that�s what i�ve Been doing anyway.

I guide out of the lighthouse. Bait has been tough for us for about a week now. We're throwing around the marina lights and drifting with our lights out in the lake. Most mornings were happy if we're getting 1-6 baits a cast. Been bad since the full moon.
