Gun Barrel City Council appoints Carol Calkins to empty seat




The Gun Barrel City Council appointed Carol Calkins to serve out the seat left vacant recently by Curtis' Webster's resignation.

Webster resigned because of health problems. The seat will be on the ballot in May 2015.

Calkins is a 10-year full-time resident who has served on the Harbor Point Property Owners Association in the past. She is a retired partner of the tax accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Calkins said that she wanted to serve on the council because she is interested in the future of the community and that she might bring a different perspective to the body.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 85 degrees; 0.26 feet above pool. Big numbers of white bass and several trophy-class hybrid stripers have hit the deck. We are consistently finding the best action in 15–22 feet of water. Good go-to setups include a variety of slabs, sometimes paired with 2–3 jigs above, and the always-reliable yellow bladed jig using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons at 3 mph in 13–17 feet of water absolutely crushed the white bass. Water temperatures are currently holding around 83 degrees and will continue to rise as summer heats up over the next couple of weeks. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom, or drifting larger cut carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
