Another day in paradise on Cedar Creek. The weather was just gorgeous and the fishing was slow to start but improved as the day progressed. The water temp was 56 at the start of the day and 64 in shallow water by the end of it. Dewayne and Joann Ordner along with their son Joe spent a day soaking up rays and catching blues. Joe leaves to return to Iraq next Sunday. He is home on two week leave and this is his second tour. Today's trip produced 43 blues. Joe managed to land a 10.8 lb. for big fish. The fish cleaned out to about 40 lbs. or five gallon bags jimmymack full. All fish caught in 3' of water or less, on rod&reel using fresh dead shad. This trip concluded with a stop at Xtreme Bar B Que, the perfect ending to any Cedar Creek outing.

Curt Frisbie, James Florez and Dennis Connally, all members of Dallas Woods and Waters, put in a day of blue cat fishing on Cedar Creek. James hung and landed the largest fish, a 16.4. The total bag was 57 blues, one channel and two gar. Fillets came to a total of 6+ gallons or just over 50 lbs.

Mr. Jay Winans and Walter (Tubby) Costello of Thatcher, AZ put in three days of very windy blue cat fishing. Monday left a lot to be desired with winds at 20 gusting to 37 mph. Tuesday provided to be a much better day with limits of blues, six hybrids, and 21 white bass. Wednesday was also another so-so day with 25 blues and a few hybrids mixed in.

Dub Swaner, of Arlington, along with brother by law Bill Coleman, pal Jack Bradley and friend Heath Smith put in a very windy half day of blue cat fishing. Had trouble locating fish and moved a lot. Largest fish, the Blue Plate Special, that cost Jack dinner for four, went just over 11 lbs. The 27 fish caught made three gallons of filets or 24 lbs. Not a good day by any standard but some nice fish.

Slick lake, cool morning, warm afternoon, whole fresh high butterfat Jersey milk, and unique sisters make for a fun trip. Juanita Gipson of Kemp, TX and Melba Slack of Homer, LA put in a half day of fishing.
The lake conditions, cool muddy water combined with recent rains, presented some problems in locating fish and required several moves and many spots to gather up 32 fish.

Trying to blue cat fish today with Big Al Mireault and his father Jim but these scaley fish kept taking the bait. Half day trip produced 30 hybrids and 24 nice blues. Tuesday and Friday of next week are open if anyone want in on some prime time mud shark spanking.

Mr. Bill Ward of Malakoff along with his long time friend Ronnie Rodrigues from Hot Springs put in a half day of fishing. The final count was somewhere around 30 hybrids, 34 blues, and 21 sand bass. All but seven of the hybrids were of legal keeper size, the largest went 7.8 lbs. Fished from 7-11 a.m. and just beat the bad weather off the lake. This trip ended like all good trips should with a trip to Cedar Creek's finest Xtreme Bar-B-Que.
Nice and dry, 7.8# hybrid

Robert, Keith, and Kent began this trip at 7 a.m. under very cloudy, windy conditions. A light mist was in the air. At 7:45 the weather forecast and conditions made us make a run for the bank. We sat on the back porch of Sandy Shores telling tall tales, drinking coffee and adult beverages until around noon. Headed back out to the north end, finding fish, a few here and there, but they were scattered by the 3 inches of rain. We moved several times, never catching over 3-4 fish per spot.

A beautiful day in Gun Barrel City. Slight breeze and a little cool for the seven mile boat ride. Things warmed up quickly when the anchor hit the water and blues hit the shad. Robert and Vernice Phillips of Phalba, TX. put in a half day of blue cat spanking. Fifty blues in four hours. As always the lady catches the biggest and probably the most fish. Robert didn't mind, being as he fished last Saturday and plans to again this Sunday.
I had a trip for Friday cancel so its if anyone wants in some prime springtime blue cat fishing call or email, half day morning or afternoon.
