New fishing pier at Tom Finley Park nears completion




GUN BARREL CITY -- The Eddie Oehlers Pier under construction at Tom Finley Park will be opened to the community at a dedication ceremony on April 6 at 11 a.m. Only painting, decorative touches, installation of benches and a brick walkway featuring commemorative bricks is left to be completed. The wheelchair-accessible fishing pier will be dedicated to the nation's past and present military service members by the Cedar Creek Lake Parrot Head Club, which sponsored the project. The club's members will be celebrating the completion of the biggest project they have ever undertaken at El Jacalito in Seven Points after the ceremony. When completed the pier will be available for use around-the-clock. The pier, which is a memorial to a former community volunteer and U.S. Navy veteran,is near the public boat ramp in the park. The club is selling commemorative bricks at a cost of $50 each for people to pay tribute to individuals, families, groups or special events. The benches, which are made of recycled plastic, can also be engraved for commemorative purposes.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at 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.
