Halloween Plays Big at Cedar Creek Lake




This Halloween, Tuesday, Oct. 31 three public venues in Cedar Creek Lake will host little ghosts, goblins, heroes and costumed characters in Mabank, Gun Barrel City and the City of Kemp.


In Mabank, starting at 5:30 p.m. local businesses and organizations will be offering treats and fun to trick-or-treaters at the Mabank Pavilion. The popular event runs through 7:30 p.m.


In Gun Barrel City, starting at 8 p.m. The Monster Mash Bash gets underway at the Gun Barrel City Pavilion, behind the main fire station on Mabelle Lane with prizes for the best contest in three age categories with $50 prizes. New this year is a glow in the dark Halloween Egg Hunt, all followed by a dance to the musical stylings of DJ Tuley’s Karaoke.


In Kemp, an old-fashioned Trunk or Treat event gets underway at 6 p.m. and closes at 8 p.m. at the Kemp City Park.


Other Halloween events have been ongoing in the days leading up to Halloween, including this one at Big Daddy’s Flea Market on Saturday.


Trick or treaters walk the booths at Big Daddy’s Flea market in Tool on the West side of the lake gathering treats of all kinds.


Various booths offer games, face painting, tons of candy and witches protecting the place with their “magic spells and shrieks to scare away any evil.” Little one come dressed in cute costumes that let their personalities shine -- from a medieval times joker to brothers dressed as Buzz and Woody from Toy Story, with the sound effects to match.


Spooky cakes and glittery paint with the smell of BBQ fills the cool crisp air. Einstein smelled it, waited for his sandwich while princesses walked around every corner.


All walks of life join in the festivities with childlike spirits coming out to play.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 87 degrees; 0.07 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. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom. Drifting larger cut bait like carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
