Thanks DC, it's always good to take friends fishing !

Thursday August 8: Took out neighbor Pat, and we fished mid-lake Hump from about 9:15 to 11:15 AM. We caught 50 sandies, 10 hybrids to 25 inches and a cat. All on #4 Mepps in 23 to 28 fow. Here's a couple of pics:

Yours truly with the 25 inch hybrid

Thanks for the report Dennis. Looks like it might be a boat race to mid lake hump this weekend. LOL.

Awesome 25" hybrid Dennis.

I went out for a couple of short trips Saturday and Sunday morning from 8am - 10am and found fish at mid lake hump. There have been boat shows at Key ranch drop off Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning but hardly anyone at mid lake hump. I saw one troller there on Saturday that left and a couple boats on Sunday showed up after I had been there for 1 hour.

I caught 10 whites there Saturday and 12 on Sunday plus several short hybrids, a couple catfish and a 26 lb smallmouth buffalo -- all fish were in 25 FOW on #4 silver mepps.

I may slip over Wednesday afternoon. I know what Whitney and RC are doing. Cedar Creek was my favorite before Whitney caught fire and it's hard to leave a great Striper bite.

Thanks for report sir I hope i cya out there soon its so hot though I may have to find something under a bridge lol.

Thursday Aug 13, 2020: I loaded up with sunscreen and a wide brim hat and got out on the lake from 12:30 to 3:30 PM to do a scouting run. I started with Long Ridge West and found big concentrations there in 22 fow. Caught 2 hybrids, 11 whites on #4 Mepps and moved on. Next stop was Mid-lake Hump. I saw small schools there and they seemed to be moving. Caught 2 good sandies and went to Iron Wall Hump. Found fish there in 22 fow near the southern edge of it. Caught 12 more sandies and 2 cats there. Caught more on #2 Mepps than #4. Stopped and went to Spillway Hump - the south wing , and it had a huge concentration of fish in 19 fow. Quickly caught 10 more whites on #4 - all big - and headed to Enchanted Isle Ridge. Found a concentration there in 18 fow, caught 11 more whites (more on #2 than #4) to get me to 46 whites, 2 cats and 2 hybrids, and headed home. Left still catching fish at every spot except Mid-lake Hump.

Thanks for the report Dennis. Where do you get your Mepps from?

I order online from either fishusa, calelas or basspro.

Thanks! I'm getting back into fishing after a long lay off. I sold my big Triton several years ago and have just bought a little Tracker Pro 160 with with 30 HP Merc. Back to basics...

Thanks for the post Dennis , great information for the month of Hot August !!!

Friday 8/14/2020: Was supposed to golf this morning but golfing buds thought it was going to be too hot, so...I went fishing. Decided to check the shallow (12 to 16 fow) structure bite today. At 9 AM I started with 1st stop at Key Ranch Drop-off. It was loaded and caught 25 there on Mepps #2's and 4's - mostly on 2's. Next stop was Merimac Point. I located a good school there then a boat, which had been out in the deep, came trolling by too close to set up on fish. He had a kid with him, and I figured they may have been trolling throught the spot. So, I went on and checked out Doll-house Point. Not much there but did find some at Spillway Point and caught 5 whites and a cat there. Ended up at Game Warden Hump and caught another 20 whites on 2's and 4's before heading home at noon. The whites at Game Warden were the best - all going 13 to 15 inches.

Between yesterday's post and today's, you can see that fishing is good right now at Cedar Creek Lake with fish on both deep and shallow structures.

Thanks for the post Dennis , great information for the month of Hot August !!!

Thanks for the report Dennis, I’ll be out there in the morning.

Caught two 23” hybrids and about 12 whites on spillway hump first thing this am all with #4. Didn’t see enough on mid lake hump to stop. Ended up at enchanted and found a nice school and we limited on whites there on #4 & #3. Then the Trump parade started and we got off the water ASAP, tons of boats.
