Gun Barrel City appoints new fire marshal; council considers new fire substation in closed session




The Gun Barrel City Council appointed Fire Chief Joey Lindaman to be the city's new fire marshal Tuesday, July 28.

Lindaman, who began volunteering for the city's fire department in 2000 and joined the city staff in 2003, replaces Fire Marshal Michael Grant, who resigned to retire.

Gun Barrel City plans to expand its fire protection services to the community in the the future. The council met in executive session to discuss options for the location of a new fire substation the same night as Lindaman's appointment.

The council has identified enhanced fire and police protection and the development of a community center and a skate park in Gun Barrel City Park as priorities.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 21)

EXCELLENT. stained; 77 degrees; 0.02 feet full 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! Start looking for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on using slabs on drop offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in depth of 5-14 feet. 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 17-26 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. Shad spawn is nearing an end, but there continues to be a good early shallow bite on and around points and windy shoreline. Drifting in 15-25 feet of water is consistently producing bigger fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. As we enjoy a weekend of fishing we salute and honor our Nation’s heroes this Memorial Day. Anticipate increased recreational boater traffic this weekend.
