Fines to be levied in Cedar Creek Lake area for loose dogs; Henderson County gets tough




Henderson County will be cracking down on the owners of domestic animals who allow them to run loose.

The Commissioners Court added fines to its nine-year-old animal control ordinance on May 17. Henderson County Humane Society spokeswoman Norma Lambert praised the action, saying it would help animals and provide a better environment for residents of the county.

If a pet owner allows it to run loose, fails to shelter it or abandons it, they will incur a fine of up to $500.

If a pet owner fails to obtain a rabies vaccination for the animal and attaches the metal tag to a collar, they will incur a fine of up to $500.

If a pet owner fails to provide food and fresh water daily, they will incur a fine of up to $500.

The ordinance already prohibited pet owners from allowing domestic animals to run loose to "worry or kill domestic animals, fowls or livestock" under penalty of a fine up to $500. The revision imposes tighter restrictions on Henderson County residents.

The animal control ordinance is designed to protect domestic animals and the public at large, according to county officials.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 15)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 76 degrees; 0.12 feet above pool. Start early in the morning at daylight and hit the dam or the western shorelines of the lake and look for schooling hybrids and white bass close to seawalls and shorelines. After that fish any hump in depths of 22-28 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools. Use spinnerbaits like a mepps#4 spinner or drop a slab down to the bottom and work it fast up and down and the fish will hit it immediately. Also throwing out a slab and reeling it back with a slow retrieve is also working well. The crappie bite has been getting increasingly better. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Quick limits are being reported. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Some catfish are moving out deeper now that the shad spawn is about over. Blue catfish are good early in the morning along retaining walls. When this action slows focus efforts on points and humps in 10-20 feet of water with cut shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
