Kemp Police Dept., EDC to get new homes




The Kemp Police Dept. and the Kemp Economic Development Corp. plan to open offices in vacant spaces in the Kemp National Bank complex on SH 274.

Under terms of the lease the city will receive free rent for seven years, but it will be responsible for half of the cost to finish out the interior of the spaces, according to city officials.

The current police department behind City Hall needs remodeling and major repairs, officials said. The cost to upgrade the old building would far exceed the cost to finish out the new space, they said.

The EDC office is now in City Hall, which is cramped for space.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.40 feet above pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
