Halloween Plays Big at Cedar Creek Lake




This Halloween, Tuesday, Oct. 31 three public venues in Cedar Creek Lake will host little ghosts, goblins, heroes and costumed characters in Mabank, Gun Barrel City and the City of Kemp.


In Mabank, starting at 5:30 p.m. local businesses and organizations will be offering treats and fun to trick-or-treaters at the Mabank Pavilion. The popular event runs through 7:30 p.m.


In Gun Barrel City, starting at 8 p.m. The Monster Mash Bash gets underway at the Gun Barrel City Pavilion, behind the main fire station on Mabelle Lane with prizes for the best contest in three age categories with $50 prizes. New this year is a glow in the dark Halloween Egg Hunt, all followed by a dance to the musical stylings of DJ Tuley’s Karaoke.


In Kemp, an old-fashioned Trunk or Treat event gets underway at 6 p.m. and closes at 8 p.m. at the Kemp City Park.


Other Halloween events have been ongoing in the days leading up to Halloween, including this one at Big Daddy’s Flea Market on Saturday.


Trick or treaters walk the booths at Big Daddy’s Flea market in Tool on the West side of the lake gathering treats of all kinds.


Various booths offer games, face painting, tons of candy and witches protecting the place with their “magic spells and shrieks to scare away any evil.” Little one come dressed in cute costumes that let their personalities shine -- from a medieval times joker to brothers dressed as Buzz and Woody from Toy Story, with the sound effects to match.


Spooky cakes and glittery paint with the smell of BBQ fills the cool crisp air. Einstein smelled it, waited for his sandwich while princesses walked around every corner.


All walks of life join in the festivities with childlike spirits coming out to play.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 64 degrees; 0.21 feet above pool. The 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 bite will continue to get even better in these areas as the shad spawn will start to take place in the next 2-3 weeks across the lake. Slowly retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 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.
