What Vacation Days are Really For...

Location: Cedar Creek Reservoir - Alabama

Time: 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM
Air Temperature: 56 degrees AM, high of 73
Water Temperature: 62 - 66 degrees
Lake Level: 580.47’ - In range, but I like it about 1 ft higher.
Weather Conditions:  3 mph.  Light.  Wind not a factor.

I took off again today to try fishing Cedar Creek.  Its been a very tough season with cooler weather and inconsistent water levels, water temperatures, storms, etc.

I caught  a couple quick ones at the pump house bay and picked up one in the bushes on the other side of Britton Bridge levee.  Very tough, very scattered.  I ran down the lake towards the dam end and fished a couple spots along the way; the beaver dam, the boat docks, etc. with no luck.  I tried the spot in the flooded timber where I caught some last week, but a boat was sitting on the spot.  I spent some time just exploring and enjoying the day.  I pick up a few bass and bluegill along the way - I think 3 of each if I recall. 

I fished my way back towards the ramp and tried the bay by the boat ramp again where they were 1.5 ft deep last week and picked up a few more.  All the fish were very small today and I believe they were all males.  I caught 7 but only ended up keeping 3 crappie.  I enjoyed the day, but fishing was once again terribly slow!


7 Crappie caught, 3 keepers, 6 other fish (not crappie)
