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!
