Location: Cedar Creek Reservoir - Alabama

Time: 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Air Temperature: Hot, 85 degrees.
Water Temperature: 80 - 82 degrees
Lake Level: 580.56'
Weather Conditions: Calm

This was my first time fishing Cedar Creek.  The North Alabama Crappie Facebook page showed people catching 40-60 crappie frequently, so it peaked my interest and thought I'd give it a try.  

The lake is not as big as I thought.  Tried fishing spider rights first.  Had a hard time finding suspended structure, but fished in 25' of water.  Quickly picked up 1 crappie, 1 white bass, and 1 catfish.  I was surprised to find 30-40' deep entire stands of timber underwater.  Fished slip float in trees, but no luck.

Spent most of the day just exploring the new lake, but didn't catch many fish. I think there is  good potential for deep water winter fish.  Explored 60% of lower lake.  Caught fish on minnows.
