Skunked on Cedar Creek

[td176]

Cedar Creek was really busy today, My oldest son caught 1 bass on a pumpkinseed jig and craw (approx 2 pounds) as for me and my other son we caught a couple of real nice tree limbs! Still had alot of fun just being with them

[fishalltime]

in my opinion the fish aren't there anymore like they where last year ? agree or disagree ? i think they became fish sandwiches ! i was told that the game warden knew last year that there wear fish leaving out of there illegally ? you get something good going and "bam" its gone !! you can't have nothing...................

[td176]

I have to say I wasn't marking fish like I did last year, all I can think of is that there pattern has changed from last spring?

[DYNATRAK]

just my opinion.

with all the publicity, hype, and playup, i believe this lake will be overfished by the end of the summer. forget it on the weekends. not to mention the illegal take-outs that seem to have been occurring quite often.

oh well, it was indeed fun while it lasted.

[fishalltime]

i dont go there all that much because of the reasons you all mentioned about the number of boats and i'm certainly not an expert but i think with the pressure it gets that you should'nt be aloud to keep any bass! and the KDFW should strickly enforce it. just my opinion !!!! ? how many times have any of you guys been there and seen a warden????? just wondering , me never...........

if you fished the t-ville when it first was opened you could have some awesome days,as word got out and pressure got extreme..from day one,it was down hill from there,i was only 14 years and even i had a few days with my uncle where i had more than one 5lber and he wore them out, with an old brown jig and #11 frog all we used.I have heard in the years that people were putting trap doors in boat bottoms and filling coolers in there trucks and taking 20 or more a day,that's here say but the fishin now i believe it.

I Have Never Been To Cedar Creek. I Live Approx An Hour And A Half Away. I Work With Several People That Live Close To The Lake Though. I Know Several People That Have Fished The Lake And Kept Bass Under The Limit, And Over The Limit, To Eat Them. I Personally Do Not Eat Bass. They Are A Competitors Fish, A Tourney Fish, A Sport Fish. Say What You Will, But Bass Eatin Doesn't Turn Me On. That Is What Crappie, Walley, And Bluegill Are For If You Can Take Time Out Of Bassin To Fish For Them. But Nevertheless This Has Stopped Me From Traveling To This Lake. Hopefully This Will Stop With Some Strict State Enforcement. The Lake Sounds To Have Unlimited Potential, But Until These Idiots Quit Eating The Trophies, I Will Continue To Fish Other Lakes!!!! Keep Them Lines Wet!

Problem solved-All the state needs to do is put the size limit up to 25 inch-Now put on the big fine-for each fish that is took out of the lake it will be $100.00 for each inch under size--THAT will make some people think long and hard about trying to leave with some............Worth trying

[MsgMills]

I can agree with the new size there BiggW, and especially the fine of $100.00 for every inch under 25"'s....No more taking illegal fish for sure...But some knuckleheads willl always try and be successful....

[Tim_T]

Maybe they could offer a reward to people who turn in the fish poachers. I remember when they were trying to build up the turkey flock, you could turn someone in for poaching and get a reward. We even let the conservation officer put signs up on our hunting lease telling people about the reward. Of course two of the signs got shot shortly thereafter LOL.

I fished Cedar Creek yesterday(Sunday) and killed them we cought 15-20 one of them being over 5lbs... Got on two patterns in two different places... A white and chartruse slone's spinnerbait, and i green pumpkin brushhog.. caught most of them off the boat ramp as alot of people where putting in..... I was in a red and white Lowe, probably seen some of u guys there..

The thing is there is no law enforcement on the lake. I have been there alot of times and still yet have seen a warden. Just for the hell of it a partner and me went down to the bank right there by the ramp and 5 people had LM from 12 to 18 inchs on stringers. If ya tell em they are wrong they just smile at ya. Easy pickings for a game warden. On Herrington I have been checked 2 times in 1 day for safety stuff in the boat and a license. Send some to Cedar.
