Stagecoach Trail • Polkville, NC BODY SHOP DeRisi Outdoor Truths By Gary Miller The temperatures have been swelter- ing even though summer has just begun. Three days in a row over 100 degrees makes outdoor activities less appealing – unless they include a dip in the lake, and even that is like swimming in a tub of hot bath water. Yes its summer, but I won't complain. This is just the charac- teristics of where I live. I just returned from southern Califor- nia and it was odd that while this area is known for its diversity, I seemed to be the only one who stood out. I tried to keep my mouth shut in order not to give myself away, but as soon as I ordered breakfast at the IHOP, it was immediately known that a foreigner had arrived. The waitress almost burst into a full-fl edge laugh as I asked for the "payuncakes." She apologized but the damage was al- ready done. I can remember this same scenario happening in Maine at Dunkin Donuts. It must have something to do with breakfast. While in California, I met people from all parts of the country – and even from other countries. After a few days some of them found out about my associa- tion with hunters and fi shermen and as a result many of them came out of the closet (which is common in California); they admitted that they too were hunt- ers and fi shermen and began to show me the pictures to prove it. It really did feel like they were able to fi nally share MALE BEAGLE MIX white/or- ange, found in Lawndale. Call 704-538-1057 to identify.

Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ some of the most memorable times of their life with- out the possibility of ridicule. And what I found was, people from all over the country love to hunt and fi sh – even in California. There were stories from New Mexico, Minnesota, Illi- nois, and Wyoming. They included elder- ly fathers and young sons. And all were spoken of with a cherished thought. I was reminded once again about how hunting and fi shing can bring so many positive things in people's lives. This week I will continue to add to this list of memories. I will take my grandson on his fi rst fi shing trip. At 5 years old, he will ask lots of questions and will have the patience of, well a 5 year old. But that fi rst fi sh, and our experience, will tattoo his mind for the rest of his life. Without any urging from me, he will never forget this day. This means that along with his fi rst fi sh, there must be a fi rst lesson. That lesson must also be unforgettable and that too will be easy because of the illustration that accompanies it and by the picture we will share that will capture the memory in earnest. And lastly, this one single day will bond us together forever like nothing else I know. It really will be a special day – just like the special days others shared with me as they came out of the closet in southern California. www.outdoortruths.org 2003 ULTRA CLASSIC 100 AnMOTORCYCLES • ATVS MOTORCYCLES • ATVS 2003 ULTRA CLASSIC 100 An- niversary, silver, black chromed, has Stroker motor, $10,500. 2009 Ultra Classic white and sil- ver, $17,500. 704-300-9223.

That means drop-offs, weedlines and weed flats. Edges of humps and reefs tend to hold the most fish. During the day, bass hold tight to the bottom, or slide into the thickest vegetation they can find, to avoid sun penetration and boat traffic. But when darkness falls, they move away from the cover and higher up in the water column and feed aggressively. Bass have decent vision at night, though it is not as good as walleyes or other fish that have eyes specially designed to see in the dark. Don't worry much about the specific color of the bait you use. Think more about the shape and size. A larger lure produces more vibration, which bass pick up on their lateral line, but is also easier to see under the cover of darkness. Rather than seeing the details of the lure, which they would see during the day, bass only see the outline. So using larger lures at night than you do during the day is a good idea.
