Robby Rose could usually put together a pretty good bag there in early february.  this is a direct quote from the basschamps website from cedar creek in 2007... "Robby Rose weighed in a 5 fish limit of 17.92 pounds to win the tournament. Considering that this was but one of only two limits brought in, he obviously had some tricks up his sleeve." Guess who had the other limit? You? Thats gotta be pretty painful

I live at Cedar Creek as well and I'd say 4 feet low was accurate. You can check with Chuck Rollins at BigCrappie.com about which ramps are open if you want to fish it. If I want to fish for bass I go to Purtis Creek State Park but I am usually a catfisherman which is perfect for Cedar Creek which also has a good Hybrid Striper and Sandbass population. I also agree that King's Creek would be a great place to fish but I don't know where you could launch to get there. I fish out of a kayak so I can pretty much go anywhere and launch.

If the lake wasn't so low, I'd say slow-roll a spinnerbait around docks and grass in the backs of creeks... but you guys don't have alot of that up there right now.
You could also probably pick up a limit on structure around the dam throwing a rig, there's a few road beds and some house foundations out there. I've done decent doing that when the water was low in February. Crankbaits around bridge rip rap running across major creeks on the lower end can be good too. the fish will stage there before moving back there to spawn.
That year that it was real tough the water had come up and was muddy and 49 degrees. We fished a spinnerbait and jig in a single creek pretty much all day. The fish moved up and started eating once the temp hit about 52.
Those are the three patterns I would work. Good luck fellas!

[/quote] there is no grass on Cedar Creek even when its at full pool. [/quote] You should get out more. Watch some of the older BassChamps DVD's, the individual championship on Cedar Creek is one of the episodes that showed some areas that had grass. I think the guy ended up winning it.

I really like fishing CC..but there is one thing I have learned...if the water is cold take your fishing else where...you really have to know the lake to do good in these conditions...

and that's precisely why that's the kind of spots that win tournaments.
