Warm weather and procrastination. . .
Good fishing beats finals blues
Phoenix eliminates San Antonio, 101?
W ith the semester winding
down and final exams
looming ever so omi-
nously, new ways to procrastinate
are always in high demand. If
you've never tried fishing during
finals, give it a shot.
The spawn has been over in
most area lakes for some time
now, and the fish are starting to
fall into a summer/warm weather
pattern. This means that fish are
going to be found feeding in deep
water as the temperature warms
and the days become hot.
A good bet for deep water fish
ing in this warmer weather is a
Texas-rigged worm fished using a
medium-speed retrieve. Start by
using a small four-inch worm be
fore you try something larger, and
use a small bullet weight no heav
ier than a quarter of an ounce.
When choosing a color, I like
to try several different colors and
decide after I have landed several
fish. Firecracker (clear with red
and blue fleck and a blue tail)
seems to be a better than average
color this time of year, and tequila
sunrise may also draw more
strikes.
The metabolism of the fish has
sped up since the spawn, and if
they're hungry, they are going to
eat.
Also, look for schooling fish
feeding on the surface, and take
full advantage of the situation. On
a trip to Bryan Utilities Lake last
weekend, a Zara puppy landed a
healthy three pounder, which is a
trophy by that lake's standards.
The trip also yielded several
smaller fish caught on anything

from worms to topwaters to jig 'n'
pigs.
So, if you're looking to find a
way to get out of studying besides
cleaning the entire apartment or
washing and waxing your car,
grab your rod and reel and do bat
tle with one of nature's finest, a
largemouth bass.
On the saltwater scene, many
students will get the opportunity
to fish Texas bays and even off
shore in the Gulf of Mexico this
summer.
For saltwater, the summer
means tournament time, and most
people automatically picture elab
orate billfish tournaments like the
Poco Bueno in Port 'O Connor or
the Deep Sea Roundup in Port
Aransas. Fortunately, these high-
dollar affairs are not the only tour
naments around.
The Gulf Coast Conservation
Association (GCCA) is holding the
summer-long State of Texas An
gler's Rodeo (S.T.A.R.). The tour
nament is designed not only to of
fer a tournament setting where
huge fish will be weighed and en
tire boats, motors and trailers will
be given away, but also the chance
to become a member of the
GCCA.
The entry fee allows the fisher
man in the tournament, which
lasts from Memorial Day week
end, May 23, until Labor Day,
Sept. 7, and provides the entrant
with a membership in the GCCA.
A boat, motor and trailer will
be awarded for the largest fish in
the following divisions: speckled
trout for the upper, middle and
lower coasts, flounder, gafftop,
sheepshead, dorado (dolphin but
not the mammal) and king mack
erel (kingfish).
In addition to the largest fish
in each division, 60 tagged redfish
will be released along the coast
from Port Arthur to Port Isabel
and the first ten caught will be
worth a boat, motor and trailer.
Since the tournament runs the
entire length of the summer, there
is little pressure to fish under the
stress of a typical tournament set
ting. But with the number of an
glers who will take part, the
chances of winning are not as
good as they could be.
However, you never know
when you may have a little luck
and hook up with one of those
tagged redfish worth a 22-foot
Redfin and 115 horsepower
Mariner.
It happened twice during last
year's tournament to anglers who
had failed to enter.
Even if the S.T.A.R does add
stress to your day of fishing, just
remember that your worst day
fishing is still better than your best
day of work (or school as is our
case).
Have a good time fishing, and
good luck!
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Jeff
Hornacek and Kevin Johnson each
scored 22 points, including 11
apiece in the fourth quarter, as the
Phoenix Suns defeated the San
Antonio Spurs 101-92 Wednesday
night to sweep their first-round
playoff series.
The Suns meet the winner of
the Portland-Los Angeles Lakers
series. Portland, which leads the
series 2-0, tried to clinch it
Wednesday night at Los Angeles.
San Antonio pulled to five
points with 4:40 remaining on con
secutive 3-pointers by Sean Elliott
and Trent Tucker. The Spurs got
to within four points on a 3-point
er by Vinnie Johnson with 35 sec
onds remaining, but never scored
again.
Tom Chambers added 17 for
the Suns, and Steve Burtt scored
14.
Antoine Carr, who stark
center in place of injured
Robinson, led the Spurs wit;]
points. Terry Cummingsani]
liott each had 17.
The Spurs, down 72-611,
the third quarter, closed tire
with a 7-0 run before the
ended the period with a'
lead. Phoenix stretched itsItj

It was heresy. Jerry Jones, the
heathen.
And early on, he had the pub
lic relations of a swamp sow.
The press loved every faux pas
that he served them. His
Arkansas accent could not cor
rectly enunciate the name of his
team. They were the "Ca-boys,"
to him. He played the fool to
perfection.
His reputation did not im
prove in the New Cowboys' first
season. With Landry, they at
least competed. But Johnson's
first year brought only one win
and many discontented fans. It
reflected poorly on the status of
the new regime.
Oilers suddenly became popular.
Things that never happened Jbe-
fore.
The New Cowboys were at
the bottom.
Well, now that has changed . .
somewhat. Dallas is winning
again, Jimmy Johnson is the
greatest coach since Knute
Rockne, and season tickets are
going like mad.
The best decision they have
made, though, was Sunday.
Lacking in the secondary, the
Cowboys took a hungry and con
fident Kevin Smith in the first
round of the draft. Not only is he
the SWC's all-time rusher, but
he's an Aggie.
And, yes, they still have a
truckload of draft picks held over
from the Steal or the Century,
otherwise known as the Herschel
Walker trade. But I refuse to give
any credit to Jones and Johnson
for that deal. Any moron would
have taken that and run.
Yet Jones stands high in the
saddle. He has newfound sup-

...Hey, wait a second! The holiday is past, but the significance of Easter touches our lives)
throughout the year. Some 2000 years ago Jesus Christ was executed and buried. Easter is
celebration of His rising from the dead three days later...and He is alive today! This fact hasgivei|
great meaning to our lives. Jesus is here to meet our deepest needs and provide spiritually
intellectually satisfying answers to life's most important questions.
