I fished the second stop of the Team Trail Outdoors TX tournament season on the lake on 05/04/24, as well as the day before for practice, with my tournament partner Iain. It was a mostly sunny day with morning temperatures starting out at around 65 degrees and warming up to around 90 degrees at the peak of the day. There was a slight southwest wind at about 5-10 mph all day, and water temperatures on the lake ranged from 69-75 degrees. Water clarity on the lake ranged anywhere from 4 inches of visibility to almost 2 feet of visibility. We caught all of our fish in practice and in the tournament on 1 long tapering point at the mouth of 2 spawning pockets where the postspawn fish are pulling back out too. It is a rock bottom point with scattered stumps on the bottom in about 9-17 feet of water. Utilizing our garmin livescope, we would creep around the point and find individual stumps or groups of 3-5 to cast to and see the bass sitting in them. We would then pick off the bass with a drop shot, texas rig, or a deep crank. It was the toughest Cedar Creek tournament I have ever seen, with the weights being extremely low for the time of year. Nonetheless, we were able to grind out a limit for 12.98 pounds and place 28th out of 186 teams, missing the money by 5 spots or half a pound. Still a fun day on the water in an absolute grinder derby and another good finish for us that should slide us up into the top 10 in AOY with 2 events to go! Cedar Creek is fishing tough right now but it is still a good time! If you get out on a windier day, the bite is a bit better, as we had close to 20 pounds on our best 5 the day before the tournament in practice when the wind was blowing 16-20 mph. Get out there, wet a line, and good luck!

  Shad
Cedar Creek is in transition from spawn to post spawn fishing. Evidence of this is the presence of the shad spawn, which will probably last for at least another week or so. Focusing on main lake sea wall's and rocky points that you can see shad flickering around will produce some bites early in the morning. Alternation between a choppo and can walker is the one two punch to catch those fish chasing baitfish. Once the shad spawn starts to dissipate those fish won't go to far. Slide out to the first major drop, or graph around for offshore cover and those fish will be there. Target them with a big worm like the Fatty Bottom Hopper 7", or crank them with the Dredger 14.5. If you prefer to stay shallow wacky rig a General and hit the boat docks to find success.
