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 (Jun. 11)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 81 degrees; 0.46 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass bite is on fire and with fish on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for these fish on flats throughout the lake and on edges of drop-offs, especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on drop-offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in 5-14 feet of water with slabs. Reports of great catches in 17–26 feet of water using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits off the bottom with a very slow retrieve. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for fish under bridge pylons or under docks in 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Numbers of catfish can be caught targeting humps in 10-20 feet of water, but there are a lot of small fish. Bigger fish can be caught drifting cut shad, carp, drum or bream. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
