Gun Barrel City Council nods OK to farmers market at City Park Pavilion




There may yet be a farmers market in Gun Barrel City this Spring.

The Gun Barrel City Council approved moving forward Tuesday with the development of a weekly farmers market at the City Park Pavilion.

Councilman Marty Goss presented the idea to the council, and he recommended that Councilman Ron Wyrick be appointed as the liaison to the operation. The farmers market would be open every Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon.

Goss said the Economic Development Corp. would be asked to designate $2,500 to the project for signage and other advertising.

The council shot down a plan presented earlier this year by the EDC to establish a farmers market on the vacant site of the old City Hall building on Highway 334.

Wyrick said he would be sending a proposal to the EDC, asking for $2,500 to pay for signage and other advertising. Then the proposal would go back to the council for final approval.

The city previously sponsored a farmers market at the City Park Pavilion that failed, but Goss promised this project would succeed if it is properly advertised.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 75 degrees; 0.43 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 hybrids and white bass have started schooling in water from 4-14 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 spinners 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. Catfish are excellent the first couple hours of the day on retaining walls where the shad are spawning using fresh cut or whole shad on a bobber or with a light weight. The bite slows as the day progresses because the catfish are feeding heavily at first light. Later in the day target catfish on the first drop-offs in 5-15 feet of water. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
