On Sunday it looked like it was down about the same amount as you described. I know I had to walk out about 20ft farther to put in the kayak, but it's a real gradual bottom at that spot.

Been down there quite a bit this year and I'd say it's a foot down minimum. This weekend, for the first time, we had the trailer wheels drop off the Jamestown concrete ramp and onto the gravel. If anyone puts in there, take a good look before dropping in. The section of ramp near the boardwalk is nice and long, but the two sections of ramp on the boat slips side is much shorter.

Markmac60 .... I think he was talking about Cedar Creek Lake .... not Cumberland Lake.

Fishrgurl,
A little off topic but i know you have kept up with Cedar more than i have and i was wondering was there any talk ---ever--- about making Cedar a trolling motor only lake? Motor restriction lake? Just curious because the other thread on here made me wonder what other states have done to get a Trophy Lake really going so i checked out Lake Dixon in California and what has been done there to achieve the results. I for one could handle tighter restrictions on the lake in addition to enforcing the fishing laws.

I think there was talk of a HP restriction before it opened, but that was shot down for whatever reason.

I think it's a little big for a trolling motor only lake, but then again it does have 3 launch ramps, so maybe.

Other than that, I haven't heard anything other than that short article about dropping the lake and a quick mention on the Strader show last week about the same thing.

Honestly, there are probably others much more knowledgeable than me about this lake. I live farther away from it than I used to even though it would probably be close to my first choice if I ever had time to go fishing anymore..

is there not a hp restriction now?The sportsman map book i have says there is a 150 limit.On lake with a hp limit if you only use the trolling motor is it still against the law?

That was the limit that they DIDN'T put into effect.

OK here it is--This is what i think is going to happen at Cedar this draw down is to kill off some shad--i THINK they are hoping for another freeze like last winter that will kill a lot but not enough and get rid of some small bait fish---Now for the motor speed i can see a no wake for the entire lake coming soon--Its going to happen put it in the bank you heard it here lol. It won, t be long i will be hitting Cedar soon i have gave them bigguns long enough to get their sore mouths to heal up lol GL to us all

I'm all for electric motors only... Bring it on and I'll vote for it for crying out loud. The lake level is about a foot or better down from last thursday. I have a buddy that lives 4 miles from the lake check on it for me every 7 days. It is dropping..

Idle speed only----GO BIG BLUE

OK, I bet I'm not the only one with this question, so I'll go ahead and ask. How would a HP limit help the fishing? If what I keep hearing is true (and I haven't been there enough to see it for myself) about the short fish walking out of CC then that is what needs to be addressed. I'm know I'm missing something here?
