| I assume your talking about ontario Canada. We will be at cedar point resort 2 weeks in july, awesome lake my wife's family has been going to cedar lake for many many years but i have gone 2 times only. Topwater wtd baits are pretty much can't go wrong baits up there but i blew many fish on wtd baits lol and sent the baits over my head. Colors not that big of deal but whites seemedto work well. Locations for us we don't really fish deep but finding the cabbage beds in 7-12 ft areas is all you need if u can find deep water close by that helps too..... Are you looking for action or monsters? Small bucktails like musky killers probably put multiple fish everyday in the boat but i go to Canada for 45 plus inch fish so i fish bigger lures, through the years wizzie and his girls put tons of huge fish in the boat and seen a monster fish people wouldn't believe of up there a few times by cedar point, a fish named oscar who is long dead and was seen by many locals up there as well... Pm for more info

| You should be able to get many updates on Cedar due to the amount of traffic that Lake has seen in last few years. Was there last year and it was like bumper boats. Pretty Lake for sure but too crowded these days for my taste. Won't go back till I know it has slowed down. Just my opinion though. Good luck and hope you do very well. |

| Cedar Lake? Yea, there'll be a good amount boat traffic so be prepared for a little frustration. Usually a morning race to get down into Hatfield Bay (where the cabbage is), or any other weedy cove. We had good luck on the main lake reefs and inside turns along the main channels (those usually had submerged weeds in the middle), and most other boats seemed to ignore them.
There are muskies in the lake, and big ones. Blaze orange and natural colors worked well for us.
Don't bother heading up to Perrault, unless you like fishing a big bowl. The channel heading up there is a fun little trek, though. |

| There is fish everywhere in the lake never had a problem with boat traffic but we stay at cpr so I mostly fish the east arm and up till the tip of the u in the horseshoe because thats where cpr is, sure there is boats but it's mostly camp boats and not bumper boats by any means, there is cabbage alot of places as well if you have problems with crowds adventure around more plenty of great spots on cedar |

No, you need the Navionics North or Navioncs Canada. Either works... |

| Not sure what booch is talking about. It isn't a race to Hatfield every morning.. I have gone early in the first two weeks the last few years for muskies and Hatfield has some of the best cabbage and it still isn't hit heavily early morning. Although I get up at 430am. As I am on eastern time zone. Perrault is also worth fishing unlike what booch said. Plenty of good cabbage and rocky areas to fish. Lost a monster in Perrault this year as well. Fishing the rest of the trip was slow but that was because of the weather. Every year you go you will end up learning new spots that no one fishes |
