Gun Barrel City Council appoints Carol Calkins to empty seat




The Gun Barrel City Council appointed Carol Calkins to serve out the seat left vacant recently by Curtis' Webster's resignation.

Webster resigned because of health problems. The seat will be on the ballot in May 2015.

Calkins is a 10-year full-time resident who has served on the Harbor Point Property Owners Association in the past. She is a retired partner of the tax accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Calkins said that she wanted to serve on the council because she is interested in the future of the community and that she might bring a different perspective to the body.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 5)

GOOD. stained; 54 degrees; 0.11 feet above pool. The hybrid and white bass deadsticking bite will be here for just a few more weeks while the water temperature increases with the warmer weather. The white bass and hybrids will be making their run into the creek arms and will settle in along shallow points and shallower water to lay their eggs for spawning. Use half ounce to 1-1/2 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes depending on what the winds are and drift long lengths of the lake in 22-36 feet of water. Drift at speeds of .2-.6 mph using your drift mode on your trolling motor or using drift socks. If the winds are not too bad you can just drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath as you drift. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. Try smaller sized plastics as the bite will be smaller sized baits. Look for Birds and Loons early mornings on shallow flats as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier and colder days. The crappie bite is on docks and in creeks with minnows or jigs. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish can be caught in shallow water near creek mouths, or drifting in deep water with cut shad. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
