By Gary Miller By There’s nothing like fi shing this time The retirees from Kosa fished Lake Wylie last week, Ned Blanton and Tony Black got the win with 13.95. Ray Hembree and James Oz Osborne were a close second with 13.25. Hembree and Osborne also had big bass of the day with a 4.65 largemouth. Arnold Leford and Coleman Hoyle took third with 12.0. This week the oldtimers will be on Lake Norman. Moss Twenty seven boats fished the weekly bass tournament last Thursday night on Moss Lake. Jody Black and Travis Hamrick had 12.42 and got the win, they anchored their catch with a 4.21 largemouth, which was big fish of the night. Brian and Cody Hoyle had 11.63 and took second with Matt Arey and Chet Beam taking third with 9.93. JR Garland and Ronnie Beason had 8.84 and landed in fourth while Larry Denton and Allen McSwain rounded out the top five with 8.77. If anyone has any suggestions on stories or pictures of their catch or kill, you can e-mail me at plail5@carolina.rr.com.

The mornings are cool, the eve- nings are warm, and the fi shing can be good most of the day. While most fi sh- ermen still prefer to arrive at daylight, some of the best fi shing will actually be up in the morning as the sun comes up and warms the water. This really allows more opportunities to hitch up the boat and head to the lake or river. These next 6 weeks will be a fi sherman’s paradise. I love this time of year. What I have noticed over time is that I have to watch becoming so set in my ways that I am unwilling to adapt and change. For instance, I know that these mid-mornings are perhaps the best time to catch fi sh, but I still plan my quick trips around being in the water at daylight. The problem is that by 11:00 am I’m rushing to get back home and idling by some of the best fi shing spots. Why didn’t I just get a few more things done before I left and arrived at the river at 9 instead of 6? This also goes for deer hunting. I 6-year-old Ty Mosteller is pictured at left with his fi rst duck a 20 pounder. He is pic- tured with the nice turkey he bagged on Youth Day 2011 in Cleveland County. It had a 10 inch beard with 1 inch spurs. Ty was hunting with his Dad, Brian Mosteller. - Photos Provided Garrett Patterson killed his fi rst turkey on April 9th. He was hunting with his Father and Stepmother, Nicholas & Amanda Patterson. He sat in his new ground hunting blind waiting for the chance at a perfect shot. He used his Dad’s 20 gauge shotgun and pulled the trigger when the 20 lb. gobbler stood just 21 yards in front of him. Congratulations Garrett! - Photo Provided 2007 SEA DOO 15 ft.

But for some reason I still arrive before dawn and have a hard time staying in the stand until 10:30. Why can’t I learn and adapt. I think it is because these times only come around once a month and even then it doesn’t matter unless we are in a particular hunting or fi shing season. As a result I just do what I have always done and get the same bad re- sults. And then beat myself up because I know better. There are times in each year that are more productive than others.

And some hours dur- ing those times are also better as well. It doesn’t matter how excited I may get or how much I think this day will be dif- ferent, or how much I think I have fi g- ured out a new way. Some things and some times are more productive and I would be served well to change my ac- tions instead of following my own hype concerning how I may have beaten the odds one time 20 years ago. I sometimes get tired of hearing people talk about the good old days, especially when they talk about religion. To be honest, I think we talk about the “old time religion” ad nauseam as well, as if God can’t keep up with the times. And as if we need to “go back” in order to get God’s best. There’s a Greek word for that – malarkey! I really don’t want the old time religion. I want to be a part of what God is doing today. Please don’t put words in my mouth; I do believe the Bible is Holy Spirit inspired and without error, but I also believe that God is not an antiquated piece of furniture where we are always exclaiming “they don’t make furniture like that anymore.” The truth is, they do make good furniture today and God is still relevant, contemporary, and as fresh as tomorrows headlines. What we need to do is realize that God may have shown up at dawn 30 years ago, but He may be showing up at mid-morning now. We can bemoan the past and long for Him to return at dawn or we can decide to put our boat in at a different time – at the place He is working today. www outdoortruths.or SHELBY www..outdoortruths.org COME SEE THE EXPERT TRANSMISSION RANSMISSION Service & P SPECIALISTS PECIALISTS vice & Parts ts Work Guaranteed 734 Nallel y Dr. She b NC Shelbl y, NC 704-482-8756 Hal JON BOAT, 12’, 2 batteries, life jackets, paddles, trolling motor, $400. 704-937-9168, 7-10am to 7-10pm. 704-482-8756 AT 12’ 2 battBOATS BOATS Hal Jimmy 15’ ALUMINUM JON BOAT & TRAILER. $250 obo. 12’ Alumi- num Jon boat, $200 obo. 704- 739-1421.
