Most of my memories are of recess and girls. However, I do recall springtime in grade school. It GARY MILLER was during that time that I was allowed to ride my bike to school. I can still remember breathing the cool, damp air as we road past the foundry and the ice plant, and across the railroad tracks, to the East End Elementary School. I remember very little about the destination but the journey is still vivid in my mind. The trip was only about two miles long but it seemed like an adventure. My neighborhood friends and I would gather up for the trip each morning. We looked like a future motorcycle gang and we had the nicknames to match. I'm glad my parents gave me such freedom. It seems today that we parents tie, too tightly, the hands of our children. We have a hard time distinguishing between things that matter and things that don't. Too many times we demand that our children like the things that we do because they are "right." We forget that each generation has its own styles and fads. Many of them are not right or wrong, just different. For instance, it was once thought that long hair was a sin. This came from loose interpretations of the scripture. We soon found out that it was just a different generation finding its own style. Some called it rebellion; and while some may have been rebelling, others were just trying to be "cool" just like we did when we were young. The Bible commands us as parents to "not make our children angry by the way we treat them." This simply means don't agitate them with things that only serve to make them mad. Now what does all of this have to do with my early childhood bike trips? It means that my parents could have said no to those trips for several reasons; but because they said yes a lot, their no's had more meaning. They hated my 70's bellbottoms and platform shoes. They also hated my leisure suits and long hair. But they remembered that a few years before, it was their parents who hated much of what they wore and most of the fads of those days. And in the end, those things didn't matter. There's a lot of difference between what's right and wrong, and what is simply taste. And it would serve us well to know the difference. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org Vintage Ford Tractor Parts & Service www.just8ns.com 2505 South Post Road Shelby, NC 28152 888-355-9937 704-482-9913 Derek Barkley Cleveland County Cattlemen's Association 7th Annual REPLACEMENT HEIFER SALE SHELBY TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS Service & Parts Work Guaranteed 734 Nalley Dr. Shelby, NC 704-482-8756 Hal Specials DRIVING RANGE OPEN TO PUBLIC 15 $20 Weekdays Weekends y 9 Holes $ 10 $15 Weekdays Weekends Must Have Coupon 328 Dogwood Valley Rd Rd.

Bruce Camp's Local AT AT U R E TU FISHING REPORT Caroli Carolina Bass Ch Carolina Bass Ch lina ass Challenge The Carolina Bass Challenge was held at Lake Wylie last week and some awesome catches were brought in. Hunter Hicks and Mike Stephens had 22.53 to pick up the win. Second place with 20.16 was Brian Travis and Larry Lehew. Third place went to Paul Guthrie and Jason Eaker with 17.83. They also had big bass of the event with a 7.36 largemouth. Eric Grigg and Jody Jones had 17.23 and claimed fourth while Ronnie Mueller and Wayne Frierson settled in fifth with 17.07. Moss Arnold Ledford called and informed me that the weekly Thursday night bass tournaments will crank up next week (March 21). The events will blast off at 6pm and weigh in each week at 9:30pm. Entry fee is only $30 and this does include big fish pot. Word is the fish are biting out on Moss and this usually translates to a full field so get there early. The word I am hearing from everybody is, fish are biting. Water temps are in the low 50's and good catches, both numbers and size fish are being caught about everywhere. So get out and wet a hook this weekend, and let me know how you do. If anyone has any suggestions on stories or pictures of their catch or kill, you can e-mail me at brucencracefancamp@gmail.com.

TROUT HUNTING In early spring you need to slow down and become intimate with the lake or river before you get close to likely trout hideouts. Trout like to hide under logs, behind rocks, near overhanging branches, and along banks. At times, especially during peak feeding activity, they will drop downstream to the tail of the pool or surface out away from the bank. If you can spot fish that are a good distance from cover, you can bet they will be eager to strike. However, a slow-motion stalk is required. Stay low and use the surrounding cover to sneak up on the fish. Lake fishermen should idle or drift into the area they saw fish, keeping a casting-distance away. Another advantage of stalking trout is you get to see how fish react to your lure or presentation. Trout that are visible can teach valuable lessons that you learn only when you stalk your prey, just like you were hunting.
