I ran across Cedar Creek last week and hate to hear it has no fish! I thought about trying it this fall or next spring.

cedar creek

fished cedar creek on monday. tough day. put in at 7 am. saw lots of fish on sonar. threw the tackle box to no avail. around 11 am started trolling crank baits and picked up 6 fish. largest was 3 lbs. rest were dinks. earlier in the spring I caught a nice 4+ pounder and a few 3+ pounders. I won't be going back until fall and next spring to try again. did talk to some locals that caught some on live bait.

umm... there are some BIG fish in this lake.. and a lot of them.

Check out how the SWAT guys did in both of their tournaments... one caught about a month ago was 9.4lbs....

but we (BANG) fished it in Feb - there was a HUGE shad kill, and out of 14 boats, only 1 fish was caught... and it was 11"

I hit it yesterday from 1pm to 7:30 pm with no luck. A buddy caught 1 bream. We both had a few bites but could not seal the deal. Fish were jumping all over us though. The place looks really nice. I hope to go back and have more luck next time.
