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!

I fished the 2nd stop of the North Region of the Bass Champs TX tournament series on the lake on 04/01/23. It was a nice day with morning temperatures starting in the high 40's and low 50's and warming up to about 75 degrees outside by the end of the tournament day. We had a steady northwest wind throughout the event at about 5-15 miles per hour, and it was mostly sunny out with a few clouds in the sky here and there. The water temperature on the lake ranged anywhere from 63 to 70 degrees, and the water clarity ranged anywhere from a foot and a half of visibility to about 6 inches of visibility. We spent the day targeting docks and rocky seawall banks in 2-6 feet of water with a texas rig and a weightless wacky rig, fishing on main lake points and the first few hundred yards of major creek arms where the fish will eventually spawn. The fish were all prespawn and staging in these areas, and they were pretty difficult to catch. In total, we only had about 9 or 10 bites, and all of them came on a texas rig or wacky rig working it as slowly as possible through the rocks and around the dock posts. We could not get bit on a moving bait of any kind all day long, which is weird for cedar creek, as we usually can catch them on a chatterbait and squarebill in addition to the wacky rig and texas rig, and we usually have between 15 and 30 bites a day out there instead of 9. Luckily, the quality was there for us despite the tougher fishing, and we were able to catch a 5 fish limit weighing 17.53 pounds which got us 23rd place out of the 232 teams fishing the event, and a nice check to go with it. 4 of the 5 fish in our bag came on the texas rig, but some other smaller keepers that we culled out, and our biggest fish of the day (pictured with the report), which went 4.30 pounds, came on the wacky rig, so it was definitely necessary to soak both of these baits in your productive stretches to get bit. We caught fish on a multitude of different soft plastic baits, such as the Missile Baits D Bomb, the Strike King Rage Bug, the Yamamoto Senko, and the K.O. Baits Knockout Senko (check them out on instagram @k.obaits), all in some form of green pumpkin or summer craw color. All in all it was a good day on the water, thanks for reading my reports and tight lines!
