Bass in season at Gibbons Creek
— #.-,;i r'ckm Ho vprv nroductive this
G ibbons Creek Reservoir is
heating up in both a liter
al and figurative sense.
The water temperature is rising
as spring rolls along, and hefty
female largemouth bass, that
don't appreciate lures near their
precious nests, are in the act of
spawning.
Some of the excellent fishing
that will take place at Gibbons
Creek this spring, can take place
from the bank if the fisherman
plays his or her cards right.
Guide Jim Butler says that
there are several areas accessible
to fishermen without boats, but
some degree of discretion should
be used when fishing from the
bank.
"Female bass spawn in real
shallow wather and many peo
ple don't realize this," Butler
said. "It's very important not to
wadefish this time of year be
cause by doing so, you may be
destroying young bass."

tail can be very productive this
time of year as well as topwaters
like a fire tiger Thunderstick,"
said Butler, "But the key is to
fish real slow. The slower you
he
The large females sit on
"beds" and are often visible
from the bank in water as shal
low as six inches. By wading
through shallow areas, it is easy
to see how a person could
severely damage a bed. Dogs ca
pable of retrieving objects
thrown into the lake by their
owners may also pose a problem
to spawning fish.
Butler suggests staying out of
the water and casting parallel to
the bank with a variety of differ
ent artificial lures including
lizards and hard stickbaits.
"A black lizard with a blue
fish, the better chance you have
at landing a big fish."
Rig the lizard as you would a
Texas rig, but instead of using a
sliding bullet weight, pinch a
small split shot 12-18 inches
above the lizard. Butler said that
this will draw more attention
from the big female bass and
produce more strikes.
Another good idea this time
of year is to have you camera
and scale on hanef.
Since the fish are spawning,
keeping a fish will reduce the
number of hatchlings that will
emerge in the coming weeks and
go on to become trophies them
selves. By weighing the fish,
taking a picture of it and releas
ing it, the future of fishing will
be safe for everyone to enjoy.

ATLANTA (AP) - Don
Chaney, fired as coach of the
Houston Rockets on Feb. 18, was
hired by the Atlanta Hawks on
Wednesday as a consultant for the
upcoming NBA draft.
"We welcome his addition to
our staff," general manager Pete
Babcock said. "We believe his fa
miliarity with the Hawks is an as
set."
Babcock said the job is strictly
for the draft and "we will see
where we are afterwards."
Babcock said he assumed
Chaney wanted to return to coach-

ing next season.
Chaney spent the 1987-88 sea
son as an assistant to Mike Fratello
on the Hawks' staff. He was
named coach of the Rockets on
June 13,1988.
Chaney was named the NBA s
Coach of the Year last season after
the Rockets finished 51-31 despite
the absence of Hakeem Olajuwon
for a large portion of the season.
Babcock said Chaney will be
gin his work with the Hawks on
April 7 at the Portsmouth, Va., in

entering the draft will work out
before NBA scouts.

Aggies'
Olajuwon says hamstring needs more time to heal
HOUSTON (AP) — Suspended Houston
Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon says it may
be three weeks before his injured hamstring
will allow him to resume playing.
"The people I have asked, who have had
the same problem, say it usually takes them
about three weeks when they have had pulled
hamstrings," Olajuwon said. "It's not going to
be overnight. It feels better but the improve
ment has been very little."
The Rockets suspended Olajuwon on Mon
day because the six-time All-Star center re
fused to suit up after doctors cleared him to
play on Saturday. Olajuwon claims his ham
string is still too tender to run normally.
Leonard Armato, Olajuwon's agent, says
he plans to file a grievance with the NBA Play
ers Association.
Olajuwon remained in Houston to get
treatment and to work out after the team de
parted on a three-game road trip that included
Tuesday night's 128-106 loss to Seattle.
The Rockets play at the Los Angeles Clip
pers Thursday night and at PortlancT on Satur
day before returning to the Summit on Tues
day against the Los Angeles Lakers.
A three-week recovery period for Olaju
won would mean April 9 would be the earliest
he could return with six games would remain
in the regular season.
The Rockets have accused Olajuwon of us
ing the injury as leverage for his contract de
mands.
Olajuwon is under contract through the
1994-95 season and is attempting to get a one
year extension at $15 million, which includes a
$3 million signing bonus.
Olajuwon will earn $3.8 million this season
and would lose about $600,000 if he sat out the
rest of the season.
"I'm not going to lose any money," Olaju
won said. "That's what they are attempting to
do, but it won't work."
Patterson said Olajuwon was attempting to
make the dispute a one-on-one battle.
"A star player doesn't have to like the gen
eral manager of the team," Patterson said,
"Look at all the stuff Michael Jordan says
about Jerry Krause (Bull's general manager)
All they did was win a championship."
Rockets guard Sleepy Floyd, the club's
player representative, thinks Olajuwon would
nave a good chance to win a grievance case.
"My personal feeling is that it's har&totell
someone he's not injured," Floyd said.
Floyd said he thinks Olajuwon will rei
to the club this season. I
"We expect him to miss the normal titett
a guy with a hamstring pull," Floyd said.
Hornets hand Spurs 113-108 defeat
Gill scores 28 to keep Charlotte in playoff chase; Robinson sits out from injury
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -
Kendall Gill scored 28 points as
the Charlotte Hornets took advan
tage of the absence of All-Star cen
ter David Robinson Wednesday
night for a 113-108 victory over
the San Antonio Spurs.
Robinson sat out the game
with sprained ligaments in his left
thumb. It was the first time in his
232-game career that he has been
out of the lineup.
In his absence, Terry Cum
mings had 34 points and 15 re
bounds for the Spurs, while An
toine Carr had 21 points.
It was the eighth win in 11
games for the Hornets and the
10th victory in their last 11 home
games.
Clinging to a 73-72 lead in the
third quarter, Charlotte closed the
period with a 12-2 run, behind
eight points from Dell Curry, to
pull ahead 85-74.
A tip-in by Atoine Carr closed
the Spurs to 101-97 with 3:01 left,
but they got no closer.
Curry finished
with 20 points and
Kenny Gattison 19
for the Hornets,
whose reserves
outscored the Spurs'
bench players 41-11.
At the 4:05 mark
in the second quar
ter, Larry Johnson's
slam dunk gave the
Hornets a 42-37 lead.
He tossed the ball to
an official, said
something to him
and was called him for a technical
foul.
Hornets coach Allan Bristow
immediately stormed the court
and confronted official Bruce
Alexander. The official whistled
him for two quick technicals, giv
ing Bristow an automatic ejection.
The Spurs made
one of the three
technical free
throws and Cum
mings added a
layup to pull San
Antonio to 42-40.
J.R. Reid an
swered with eight
straight Hornets
points to put them
ahead 52-48 at half
time.
The win. put
Charlotte 21/2
games behind New Jersey for the
eighth and final Eastern Confer
ence playoff spot. But Gattison
said the Hornets aren't thinking
about the playoffs.
"We're trying to keep ever) I
game in perspective," Gattisoni
said. "We're not getting thepap er
every morning and looking to see j
if New Jersey lost."
Much of the postgame
was about Bristow's ejection.
"I asked the official why rtwasl
such a quick technical on John
son," assistant coach Bill Hanzl|
said. "The official said Larry ha
said some things prior to that
was a buildup thing."
Gattison flourished in themW'
die without Robinson to hinder
him. Gattison had 11 rebounds.
"We knew they would stills
tough without David,"
said. "Antoine Carr is tough. Th e ) |
really didn't miss his scoringh'
his presence in the middle."
