3/10/2023: Neighbor Graham and I went out from 2:30 to 5:50 PM and caught 102: 91 whites, 10 short hybrids, and a yellow bass. we caught them at Saint Annes Drop-off in 19 fow, Long Ridge in 26 fow, Long Ridge West in 26 fow, and Merimac Point in 15 to 18 fow. We caught them below the boat and casting out and reeling in. We both used a silver #4 Mepps. Graham also caught a few on a Red Mepps with a white skirt. About half the whites were big ones (13 to 16 inches). The biggest hybrid was 17 inches.

March 11-15 (spring break for our family): Have been taking my sister's grandkids out. We have had 6 trips starting Sunday afternoon through Tuesday morning with catches of 88, 110, 105, 59, 108, and 120. The 59 trip I took them up north as far as Enchanted Isle Ridge, and we didn't do as well up there. The good fishing has been in Crappie Island Flats, especially early in the morning with lots of bird action. Most of our fish have been big sandies. We've caught 2 legal hybrids and three 17+ inch ones. We have caught all on #4 Mepps - both silver and white blades, fished straight down on the bottom in 20+ fow and casting out in shallower water.

Lots of smiles Dennis.

You are probably known to them as one fish catching fool. Affectionately of course.

Hello Dennis,
I’m pretty new to cedar creek lake and lake fishing altogether. I’ve been reading / watched your technique but also have a few questions.

I assume you are locating fish with sonar on / around your named locations on lake. Do you now drift, anchor, or troll around the location while you fish? Seems I spend a lot of effort on keeping boat in a location, especially when there is some wind, or I can’t .

Im located a little north of the spillway, what locations would you recommend that are closer to the spillway area to get started?

Thanks

Bearcal: Welcome to Cedar Creek Lake. Once I locate fish I use the spotlock feature of my trolling motor to keep me either over the fish I have found or within casting distance. Before I had spotlock, I used an anchor to keep me where I found fish. The best spots in the spillway area are Game Warden Hump, Enchanted Isle Ridge, the Rock Pile, Spillway Hump. Spillway Point, and Dollhouse Point. Farther north, Sunken Island and the Tennis Courts are the best spots. Here is map showing these last 2 spots:

Thanks for the info. I will give it a try!

I really appreciate all of the information that is shared here. I am new to the area and the lake so it is very helpful. I will do my part and post what I find when I get down there with my boys.

Can anyone let me know of a good ramp to use towards the south end or middle of the lake?

Thanks again.

East side or west side of lake? Pay or free or doesn't matter?

East side. I believe it's free.

I’m ok with pay or free. I am coming in from the west but could do west or east side of the lake. Thanks!

Lone Star marina has a $10 launch fee. It is north of the spillway on the southwest side of the lake. The Causeway marina/store on the east side of Seven Points has a ramp. I'm not sure what the fee is. Just past that when you cross the bridge heading east there are a couple of free public ramps.

I appreciate the help!
