Today's Top 4
1. Student felony charge for fishing tackle.
Here's the headline:
Felony weapons charge for student who brought fishing supplies to school
More:
> A Cobb County high school senior was charged with the felony of bringing weapons into a school zone after police found fishing knives in a tackle box in his car.
> Cody Chitwood, a 17-year-old student at Lassiter High School and avid fisherman, turned himself in and was released on $1,000 bond.
> Police were performing a random sweep, and drug-sniffing dogs detected black powder in Chitwood’s car. The powder was residue from a firecracker that had been in the car since Fourth of July, but it was enough to a warrant a full search that turned up the fishing-related weaponry. [Weaponry??]
> “It’s pretty ridiculous,” said Chitwood. “I have an attorney and I’m hoping to get the felony dropped so I can still get in the Air Force.”
> If the district attorney decides to prosecute, Chitwood could face two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

2. My friends laugh at me because when I skip the bait under there I still lift my left leg….

Tip of the Day
Good piece on Bassin'Fan:
> Green-pumpkin…"works well on almost every lake I've fished in the United States. It doesn't work as well, though, when the water turns brown or muddy. That's when I go to black."
> "Fall is when the fish tend to be on shad more than any other time, and it's when a chartreuse, white or fire tail is most effective. Those are hard to find in stores these days, but I've still get 'em and if I'm fishing around a lot of boats, I'll pull them out and usually catch more fish than the other guys do."
> "If I'm going to Florida, I'll go out to my shed and dig out all my red shad for fishing that brackish water. I hardly fish those anywhere else, but when you get on that black water anywhere around the coastal area, that color's got a flash to it like no other."
> "Guntersville, Toledo Bend and Rayburn all have a water color that's very similar – not clear, but not muddy. When I go to those places I'm thinking junebug, candy bug or a shiny grape color, along with green-pumpkin. Light purple is good in the summer when those lakes get clearer."
> "If I'm on Murray or one of the highland lakes in Arkansas in the summer, I like watermelon red or strawberry." [Do bass bait makers like fruit or what?]
> "When fish are looking up, I think a light pink looks like a shad body on a sunny day. They like a translucent color that they can partially see through…. If you're throwing a dark purple or a junebug under those conditions, a lot of times you can't hardly get a bite."
