Cedar Creek Lake Rotary Club taps longtime newspaper woman to lead group in 2013




GUN BARREL CITY -- The Avanti Singers entertained the Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake with Christmas melodies at the group's regular weekly meeting at Vetoni's restaurant Dec. 14. The club's new president, Athens Daily Review columnist Kathy Nailling, led the meeting. Nailling, who worked at the Dallas Times Herald for two decades in the advertising department, also managed the Cedar Creek Pilot until the Athens Daily Review absorbed it about 18 months ago. Nailling took over the reigns of the Rotary Club from outgoing president Mike Moore, who is a Nationwide Insurance agent. The performance by the Avanti Singers featured a solo by The Monitor editor Pearl Cantrell, who played a ukulele and sang a Hawaiian song. She was accompanied by a singer doing the hula. The club also installed a new member, Dr. Lisa Jones, a veterinarian in Seven Points. The Rotary Club, which is an international organization, aims to encourage and foster the ideas of service to the community, high ethical business standards and the advancement of international understanding, good will and peace. The club's motto is "Service Above Self." Local events sponsored by the Rotary Club include Klothes for Kids, college scholarships, Reading is Fundamental book giveaway, Dictionary for Third-Grade Students, Mabank Good Samaritan Food Bank, library donations, Make a Difference Day, Four-Way Speech Contest, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards camp, Mabank Gold Card Luncheon and Interact Club Sponsor. The club raised some $40,000 in 2013 for its beneficiaries. For information visit: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rotary-Club-of-Cedar-Creek-lake/307288789366650

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 27)

GOOD. normal stain; 67 degrees; 3.48 feet below pool. The recent storms slowed down the fishing just a bit but it has picked up especially on the days it has been warming up into the 70s. Still finding hybrids and white bass on midlake points and drop offs along sandy flats throughout the dam area, Crappie Island, Key Ranch and the spillway humps in 11-19 feet. Cast spinners and slabs and look for schooling fish on these flats as well as deeper seawalls and shorelines. Fish any hump in 12-22 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools as the day warms up. Look for schooling fish on cloudier/colder days. Use spinnerbaits 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. Cast rattle traps, Spoons, Umbrella Rigs, slabs or sassy shads to get the hybrids to bite. The crappie bite has been getting better. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are good on shallow flats in the mouths of the major creeks and the adjacent points and shorelines are holding fish in 2 -6 feet, or with fresh shad anchored or drifting on mainlake flats in 12-24 feet. This bite should hold up for another month or so. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
