The crappie bite is heating up right along with the temperatures on Cedar Creek Reservoir, where angler Ferris Bavousett spent the morning with guide Chuck Rollins of BigCrappie.com bringing in a mess of fish.
“We had a great time out there this morning,” Bavousett said. “The crappie are still underneath the docks in 7 to 10 feet of water. We just shot the docks with a solid chartreuse grub. They loved it.”
The anglers kept almost 50 fish for a fish fry, and along with the crappie, caught hybrid stripers and sand bass.
“None of the hybrids were big enough to keep, but we did catch a 3-pound sand bass,” Bavousett said. “It was just a really good day.”
The water temperature on Cedar Creek is in the upper 70s, according to TPWD.
