I went out to the lake on March 25th to practice for my upcoming Bass Champs TX tournament I have on April 1st. It was sunny outside with morning temperatures starting in the high 50's and low 60's and warming to about 80 degrees by the end of the day. There was a strong west wind pretty much all day at about 12-15 mph, and the water clarity on the lake ranged from about a foot and a half of visibility on the south side, to about 3 inches of visibility or less on the north side of the lake. The water temperatures ranged anywhere from 59 to 66 degrees, as then north end was warmer than the south end until later in the day when the sun warmed it up and it caught up. The pockets were warmer than the main lake, but only by a degree or two, and the very backs of the pockets would actually start to cool back off, most likely due to runoff from the rain we had the week before. We spent the day targeting docks and rocky seawalls in 3-5 feet of water with a texas rig, using a multitude of beaver baits in the summer craw color, like the Strike King Rage Bug, the Googan Baits Bandito Bug, and the Knockout Craw and Knockout Grub from K.O. Baits (@k.obaits on instagram)! Overall it was a great day as we probably caught over 20 total fish and our best 5 bites would have gone for probably 19 or 20 pounds, including the almost 6 pounder my tournament partner Iain caught pictured below. The fishing is starting to pick up on Cedar Creek and the big ones are chewing, so now is the time to get out there! The large majority of the fish should be spawning within the next few weeks, and it's going to be a blast. Overall it was another great day on my favorite lake and I'm excited for this weekend's tournament! Good luck everyone reading this and tight lines!

I went out to the lake on 03/27/22 to practice for two upcoming tournaments I have next weekend. It was sunny all day with lows in the lower 50's and highs in the mid 80's, a steady southwest wind that picked up later in the day, and water temperatures between 55 and 64 degrees. The water clarity was between about 6 inches of visibility to a foot of visibility across the lake. I spent the morning looking deeper trying to find fish on points or in brush or rock piles, but did not have much success, so I then transitioned to fishing shallow and targeting docks along rockier banks as well as rocky seawalls in 2-6 feet of water with a texas rig. I focused mainly on main lake stretches or stretches just inside the mouths of creeks as I could not seem to get bit in the backs of pockets. The water in the lake was about a foot and a half low, so I think that may be why some of the fish haven't pushed all the way back yet even though the water temperature and conditions are starting to get right for them to start moving back. I was able to catch 4 fish throughout the day, and my tournament partner was able to put 3 in the boat as well. In total, we probably had between 10 and 12 bites, and our best 5 would've probably been around 16 or 17 pounds, all on the Texas rig. Fishing stretches that had the wind on them seemed to be key later in the day as well. Below is a photo of one of the better fish we boated that day! Thank you all for reading my reports, and tight lines!
