SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSummerStructureRip RapMy fishing tournament partner and I fished the Team Trail Outdoors TX tournament on the lake on 06/10/23. It was a mostly sunny day with lows in the 70's and highs in the low 90's, and a steady southwest wind at about 8-12 mph. Later in the day, a big storm rolled in, so we were fishing in pre-frontal conditions for the duration of the tournament. The water clarity ranged from about 2 feet of visibility on the main lake, to about 4 inches of visibility back in the river we did most of our damage in, and the water temperatures ranged from 83-93 degrees fahrenheit across the lake. We started the morning cranking squarebills on some seawalls and around docks, as well as throwing chatterbaits around flooded bushes on a main lake point off of an island, and caught a few. After that, we ran way back into the back of a river and caught several fish flipping brush and timber along the river channel bends, until we worked our way up to a spillway of another lake that had some water flowing down it into the river. This area was surrounded by rip rap and concrete walls, and we were able to catch the majority of our bag throwing a squarebill in this area. After that, we made one more move back out to the main lake to an offshore roadbed in about 10 feet of water, and were able to catch our kicker fish dragging a 10 inch worm on that spot. Our bag (pictured with the report) weighed 15.07 pounds and got us 18th place out of over 150 teams and a nice check, and it pushed us up to finish the year in 8th place in the AOY standings out of over 200 teams. Overall, it was a grind, and it may have been the hardest we have ever had to work for a limit, but it was very fun and rewarding. The lake is fishing pretty tough right now, but there are still fish to be caught and good ones too, so get out there and make some casts!
BrodyBroganBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSummerStructureDocksWas their fishing state for B.A.S.S Nation and caught a limit and took 9th in state. They are really shallow in the morning and tend to hand around ladders entering the water. Later throughout the day I found them going deeper but staying under the dock in the shade and hanging onto poles.

boat docks
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Prop)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureBaitfishCedar 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.

The bite from the day before completely dissolved and started catching bass on docks on secondary points and docks that had brush piles. The mustad assault hooks are pretty solid hooks. Really stout, and coated for a slick puncture like most other higher end hooks. Had no problem pinning a fish on the hook and having it come off, every fish that bit got brought in and was easy to handle.
