Kids in the Outdoors hosted in Athens




The Henderson County WIldlife Committee put on, “KIDS IN THE OUTDOORS.” and it drew the attention of lots of area kids from Kemp to Tyler, back to Crossroads and everything in between.

Texas Parks and Wildlife brought their “Wall of Shame” trailer to show the kids animals that were poached. Athens native Officer West and transplant to the area Officer Johnson, both Game Wardens out of Athens were on site to answer any questions the community had.

Speaker Kyle Brunson told about hunting opportunities for youth in the area with 3 Teenagers who had attended similar hunts showcased their tri fold displays to explain to anyone who was eager to hear what they learned from attending these adventures.

Learning for them extended beyond just the learning to hunt, it extended to learning the habitat, what to feed the animals and how the animals thrive.

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.
