Cedar Lake Fishing Reports - Scott County - New Prague

[PikePatroller]

Any body having any luck this year hows the ice. ... will be home for the holidays and can fish... all catch and release. thanks is everything still dinky sized for the most part?

[LOTWSvirgin]

There is a little info in the South central forum about the lake

[Simon M.]

I have a buddy that was actually catching some decent sunfish on the lake by the old access in 6 fow

[CrappieKilla]

Any word on this lake this season? I did pretty good there this summer panfishing, and would like to try it ice fishing once there's enough ice to start driving on. Anyone catching anything decent? Any tips or advice? Thanks in advance.

[walleyeslayer18]

I have been out there the last 3 night tageting walleyes and all im finding is 7-9" crappies so if thats what your looking for you might be in luck!

[CrappieKilla]

Yeah I'd be willing to try to catch some of them. I'll be throwing them all back anyways, but it's better than sitting at home or another lake catching smaller ones.

[Zelmsdawg]

7-9" crappies? I'd love to catch one over 7". If your looking for action you can catch crappies anywhere and everywhere but they're all cookie cutters. Was out a couple days ago and there was about 10" of ice. I also saw someone driving a car out there although they got stuck a couple times. Not sure all this snow will help either. Good luck

[walleyeslayer18]

idk where your fishing but 3/4 of the crappies i have caught have been 7-9 and i have measured all of them.

[CrappieFan]

Anyone been down to Cedar Lake this year? Was curious if there was any weed issues like last year and whether or not anything is biting since so many fish died last year.

[jblabsnduck]

Have not been there yet this year but if you are willing to go cedar, there is another lake close by that is producing some nice eater wallys along with some nice gills.

Will be trying to put the hurt on them tomorrow (saturday) early a.m.

[BIGRED07]

did cedar have a winter kill last year i was thinking of trying for some bass tommorrow there. i was going to take my nephews

[CrappieFan]

what "other" lake are you referring to? Or is that asking for too much info? Understand if it is.

[jblabsnduck]

Went out to the "other" lake on saturday morning and boated a limit of nice eater wallys.

Then put the smack down on some nice gills.

Sorry, don't want to mention the "other" lake.

Heard from a friend that cedar is putting out 7-9" cookie cutter crappies.

[CrappieFan]

No problem. I have a pretty good idea what other lake you are referring to.

[tracker x-2]

Has anyone who has been out there seen any carp in the shallows looking to shoot a few?

[fishingsfinest]

Does anyone have a report about the weeds on the lake?? Would like to get out there, but I know the Spring and early summer out there are pretty tough with the weed growth. I usually fish the shorelines...

[SteeveeD]

I was there Thursday and the north end would have been pretty tough fishing (I left. Alot of weed growth along the shore.

[ThunderLund78]

Have not been on the water yet. Weeds look pretty think near shore but it looks like they're not on the surface as far out as they usually are. Maybe it's a better year for them. Plus that lake is up about a foot from last year which s a good thing. Interesting to see how the Muskie guys do this weekend.

[bisekb]

Fished the lake on Wed, and the weed growth is not to bad. Especially if you know how to fish it, just hit the edges fo the thick weeds for bass, or throw into the slop with frogs and you will snag some bass. I was tryin to move some muskies and got my first 43" of the year. Saw one other fish boated also.

[tracker x-2]

bisekb by chance do you work at scheels in Kato?

[tracker x-2]

I was out tonight and spent a couple hours with casting to muskie with no luck. All the dink crappies you would want. great place to take the kids.

[the rod tosser]

if you look at the lake survey it has a lot of small crappies. ceadr lake survey

[bisekb]

yes i do

[Eric_Kruger]

bisekb was that you out there lastnight, having boat issues? i was the guy on the dock if it was!

EK

[bisekb]

Nope, i was out on French last night. (no luck by the way and lots of pressure) I might be heading out there Wed though, or maybe waconia im not sure yet.

[bisekb]

Spent teh day out there castin for skis, and weather was tough. Dead calm, hot, and water is suprisingly clear. No fish movin for me today. I threw the box at um. Still a fun day!

[Zelmsdawg]

Hey bisekb,

Glad to see you on this site. Not sure if you remember me but we played a lot of football together after school in NP. Are you done at school and around here for good now? If you are it'd be nice to get out and chase some muskies sometime as my regular boat partner is leaving to go to school out of state

[CrappieFan]

How were the weeds? I normally love hitting Cedar Lake. The crappies are small but my boys are still at that age where they just like catching something. So would love to take them back down there. And how is the water level? Getting out of the little bay area on the East always makes me nervous.

[Eric_Kruger]

that landing is hairy at times....should be good right now, you can also use the access on the north end of the lake....

[Muddy41]

Anything happening on Cedar; What is the fisihing like. Want to take my daughters out and was wondering if the bass and walleyes are biting
