Kids in the Outdoors hosted in Athens




The Henderson County WIldlife Committee put on, “KIDS IN THE OUTDOORS.” and it drew the attention of lots of area kids from Kemp to Tyler, back to Crossroads and everything in between.

Texas Parks and Wildlife brought their “Wall of Shame” trailer to show the kids animals that were poached. Athens native Officer West and transplant to the area Officer Johnson, both Game Wardens out of Athens were on site to answer any questions the community had.

Speaker Kyle Brunson told about hunting opportunities for youth in the area with 3 Teenagers who had attended similar hunts showcased their tri fold displays to explain to anyone who was eager to hear what they learned from attending these adventures.

Learning for them extended beyond just the learning to hunt, it extended to learning the habitat, what to feed the animals and how the animals thrive.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 25)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 83 degrees; 0.00 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 remain consistent 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.
