And unless the weather man is bad wrong (I am typing this on Sunday night) they will not be fishing this week as well. Tournament Director, John Black says, “we have been hit with various things to keep most from going ,but as cold as it has been, I don’t mind at all”. As John and I were discussing the woes of the Kosa crowd, I reminded him that unless my memory had completely gone south, they didn’t fish but a time or two last year from Thanksgiving, until about February. J & J Both the Saturday and Sunday trails of the J & J Lake Norman Winter Trail fished this past weekend. On Saturday, 51 boats braved the cold and gusty winds. Maurice Freeze and Rick Poplin picked up the win with 12.70. Mark Brown and Wade Smith followed close behind with 12.30. Roger Pope and Michael Smith took third with 11.90, and right in their wake was Shane Lehew and Adam Waters with 11.80. Matt Haywood and Donnie Cooper rounded out the top five with 10.85. Big bass of the day was a 4.40 largemouth brought in by Ken Hoyle and Todd Phillips. The Saturday Trail will fish again Jan. 15 On Sunday, 35 teams blasted off at 9 am from Midway Marina. Shane Lineberger and Hank Cherry took first place with 12.20. Jason Wilson and Bucky Helms had 11.80 and were second with Terry Phillips and Billy Mize getting third with 10.45. Mike Fox and Tony Shook had 10.15 and landed in fourth with Craig Chambers and Keith Ogden taking fifth with 9.45. Big bass of the day was a tie between the second and third places teams of Wilson/Helms, Phillips/Mize, as both teams brought in a 3.80 largemouth. The Sunday trail will fish again on Jan 23. Mountain Island Lake The N.C. Divisions of Public Health issued an advisory last week warning lake residents and citizens about the dangers of consuming fish from Mountain Island Lake. Two seperate test, one in April and another one in July of 2010, showed high levels of PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl), an industrial byproduct that harms wildlife. Three species of fish were sampled: cat- fish, largemouth bass and red ear sunfish. Both the catfish and the bass showed high levels. The consumption of these two species are especially dangerous for pregnant woman and small children. There were, however no issues with drinking water from the lake.

So much so that purist are now practicing catch & release. Catfishing tournaments are taking place across America. The selection of specialized catfishing equipment expands each year. The major reason for catfishings new found respect is it offers anglers the opportunity to catch big fish close to home. Catfish species like Flatheads, Blues, and Channel are not timid scavengers and offer big game thrills in freshwater. Fish over 50 pounds are caught almost daily in lakes and rivers across America. 100 pound fish are common and not unusual. Another indication of their popularity is the emergence of the increased availability of catfish guide services to help you catch that monster fish of a lifetime.

Outdoor Truths By Gary Miller By Many of my childhood memories in- volve the park that was just below my house. For years it sat mostly as just an abandoned piece of land. Part of it was our baseball fi eld and the rest was simply stomping grounds. After a few years the city decided to spruce it up a bit. One of the nice ad- ditions was a basketball court that was perched on top of a hill. I remember running down that hill many times in order to fetch a stray pass or to retrieve the ball that had caught the corner of the concrete court and had ricocheted to the bottom. Needless to say, I spent many, many days in that park. Since it was only a short distance from my home, when it came time to come in, my mom or dad would sim- ply open the door of our house and call for us to come home. They were not the only ones, however, that used this approach. All of my friend’s par- ents did the same. When a voice was heard calling, each one of us boys would have to listen carefully to fi gure out which parent was calling. We all learned to recognize each of our par- ent’s unique technique and tone. I can remember going back home when I was a young adult. We had gath- ered for a Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday and I had made my way down ORIGINAL MILES ORIGINAL MILES 68K 68K YOUR BUY HERE•PAY HERE HEADQUARTERS Prices Good Thru Jan. 19th Outdoor Connection SPECIALS OF THE WEEK! ...get out & enjoy nature! ...get out & enjoy nature!

MOTORCYCLES • ATVS Gary Miller Aiming Outdoorsmen Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ oward Christ to the park that I had played at so many times before. It wasn’t too long until I heard a voice calling my name. Since I hadn’t heard the voice of my mother calling me in such a long time, I was unsure it was her. My doubt soon left as I fo- cused in on her familiar sounds. But because I had not heard that voice in a while, at fi rst I was unsure and slow to respond. Each one of us wants to hear from God concerning various things in our life. It may be concerning a decision or direction, but we really need to hear God speaking to us concerning our situation. If we have been in commu- nication with Him already, we will more readily recognize His voice. If it has been a long time since you conversed with each other, the more likely you will have doubt and be slow to respond to His promptings. Are you familiar with the voice of God? If not, start spending time with Him now. It will not only bring you present satisfaction, but it will help you hear Him more clearly when you need Him most. www outdoor ruths.or www..outdoorttruths.org ESTIM TES ESTIMATES FREE FREE ©CommunityFirstMedia *Based on time on job and time at residence.
