New fishing pier at Tom Finley Park nears completion




GUN BARREL CITY -- The Eddie Oehlers Pier under construction at Tom Finley Park will be opened to the community at a dedication ceremony on April 6 at 11 a.m. Only painting, decorative touches, installation of benches and a brick walkway featuring commemorative bricks is left to be completed. The wheelchair-accessible fishing pier will be dedicated to the nation's past and present military service members by the Cedar Creek Lake Parrot Head Club, which sponsored the project. The club's members will be celebrating the completion of the biggest project they have ever undertaken at El Jacalito in Seven Points after the ceremony. When completed the pier will be available for use around-the-clock. The pier, which is a memorial to a former community volunteer and U.S. Navy veteran,is near the public boat ramp in the park. The club is selling commemorative bricks at a cost of $50 each for people to pay tribute to individuals, families, groups or special events. The benches, which are made of recycled plastic, can also be engraved for commemorative purposes.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 24)

EXCELLENT. Water slightly stained; 77 degrees; 1.71 feet below pool. Consistently finding the best hybrid action in 13-18 feet of water with slabs, and spinnerbaits using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons with a hellbender set-up at 3 mph in 13-17 feet of water is absolutely crushing the white bass on several humps throughout the lake. As water temperatures decrease into the low 70s we will target big hybrids on shallow ledges and humps with Alabama rigs. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck's Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The catfish pattern will remain consistent until cooler weather arrives. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet fishing 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 throughout the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
