On a related note, I finally had a few spare minutes of free time over the weekend and I took the kayak down to Cedar Creek and fished for about an hour yesterday (Sunday). Was just fishing for catfish and I caught 3 small ones. Not too bad for an hours time.
I am thinking along the lines with mhall....this lake had it's glory days and now it's time for the hard work in finding the fish or good fish. I'm ok with the way the lake is now because i never had any illusions that this would be a "trophy lake".
I still catch fish there as good or better than other lakes it's just not as easy as it once was. Drawing it down will help with the future spawns because thats what Florida does and it works wonders. JMO
