Gun Barrel City gears up for July Fest; Ninja Turtles to make appearance with Vanilla Ice




Gun Barrel City Treasurer Mickey Raney who is organizing the July Fest celebration in City Park said this year's event will be the "biggest and best yet."

She announced the Ninja Turtles would be joining Vanilla Ice on stage in concert, and that this year's event would be more "kid-friendly" than ever before.

The budget for the festival is $80,000, but Raney said she hopes to recoup all of the money through ticket sales and other July Fest revenue.

The event is estimated to have a $200,000 economic impact on other busineses such as restaurants and hotels in Gun Barrel City.

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.
