The Flying Grape & Bean Coffee Gift House is not the type of cafe you might expect to find in the rural area of the Gun Barrel City Airpark. From the tastefully decorated rooms to the unique menu of gourmet coffees, Frappaccinos, exotic teas, soups, salads, Paninis, cold and grilled sandwiches and exquisite desserts, The Flying Grape is a delight in every respect. Owner Vicki Irwin's imaginative decorative skills and culinary expertise make it a delightful experience. The extras on the sandwiches such as avocados, gorgonzola, cranberries, cheese artichokes and Dijon make them really special and different from anything else available around the Cedar Creek Lake area. There are also several vegetarian dishes to please every taste. As the menu points out, "it's not fast food - great food." The menu even includes breakfast items Paninis, French toast, crepes and super crepes. Whether you are flying in or out of the private airport or you just want to pass the time in a charming atmosphere, it is a stop well worth making. The coffees, teas, jars of pickles and other items served in the cafe are available for purchase in the gift shop. The Flying Grape is at 1223 Harbor Point Road, Gun Barrel City, TX 75156.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 75 degrees; 0.43 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy! Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The hybrids and white bass have started schooling in water from 4-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinners and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are excellent the first couple hours of the day on retaining walls where the shad are spawning using fresh cut or whole shad on a bobber or with a light weight. The bite slows as the day progresses because the catfish are feeding heavily at first light. Later in the day target catfish on the first drop-offs in 5-15 feet of water. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
