FARMVILLE, Va.—The Broncs lost a non-conference game at Longwood Sunday. \”We never really got on track today,\” said head coach Lori Hussong. \”We got beat to the ball all over the field.\”

Rider (2-3) junior forward Diana Celebre (Lake Grove, N.Y./Sachem) scored her first goal of the season off a loose ball rebound 22 minutes in to tie the game at one but it wasn’t enough as the Lancers scored twice in the last 20 minutes of the game to seal the win.

\”It was a very physical game,\” said Hussong who saw her team whistled for one green card and two yellows. \”We seemed to back off a little when it started getting physical.\”

Bronc senior goalie Jen LoCastro (Cherry Hill, N.J./Camden Catholic) made nine saves as Longwood (1-6) out shot Rider 19-8.

\”It’s a concern that we aren’t keeping the ball out of our circle,\” said Hussong. \”We are still young and inexperienced back there and we need to use each game to gain the experience needed to improve. If the team listens to the adjustments we need to make, we have a chance to play very well, if they play as individuals the system won’t work that way.\”

The Broncs travel to Rhode Island September 16.

\”Anyone could have won the game going into the second half,\” Hussong added. \”Longwood had a 14-5 shot advantage but it was still tied. We just didn’t execute the adjustments we needed to make that we talked about at halftime. They out hustled us and we didn’t play smart.\”

There is an idea in the angling world that you need large lures to catch large fish. This may prove effective for spring and fall, but during the summer doldrums you may have to modify your tactics to bring fish to the boat. Instead of going larger, think smaller when the fish aren’t biting.

Ultra-light fishing is an oft-overlooked tactic that can prevent you from getting skunked the next time you are on the water. There is definitely skill involved when hooking a nice sized largemouth on lighter equipment.

So what do you need? For starters, you\’ll need a shorter rod. Most ultra-light fishing rods range in size from four feet six inches to five feet six inches. The shorter rods are necessary to accommodate lighter line and smaller reels. You will have greater success on the water if your equipment is matched and well balanced. The small guides on these shorter rods restrict heavy the passage of heavier lines (8+ pound test).

Smaller reels are required for ultra-light fishing as well. An ultra-light fishing reel typically holds no more than 100 yards of 6lb. test monofilament. These smaller reels are not as durable as their larger counter parts. These reels lack the multiple ball bearing construction that makes larger reels run smoother. But don’t let their size fool you. Many of the large reel manufacturers have made progress in the realm of ultra-light equipment. Advancements in drag systems have allowed some of these smaller reels the ability to handle any fishing situation.

Another major advancement that benefits the ultra-light fishing market is the development of co-polymer and braided fishing lines. These lines can have the diameter of a 4lb. test monofilament, but the ability to perform like an 8lb. test line. The added test strength will ensure that more fish end up in the boat than swimming away with your favorite lures. These advanced lines resist the twisting that is common with light monofilament line.

One you have your setup you’ll need to have a few lures in your arsenal that will accommodate your ultra-light experience. The first, and one of the most effective ultra-light lures is the Johnson Beetle Spin. Ranging in size from 1/32 oz. to 1/4oz these lures catch fish of all sizes. For your ultra-light needs consider the 1/32–1/16oz. Beetle Spins. For colors, look to chartreuse, black, white, and yellow to increase your catch.

Fish the Beetle spin steady through moving water. Near dams or spillways cast the lure into the falling water and fish it fast with the current. Larger fish wait at the bottom of this rough water waiting for a quick meal. In lakes and ponds fish this lure erratically. For finicky fish do the old bump and run along longs and around blown down trees to draw a strike.

Another lure you should have for your ultra-light tackle box is the 1/4oz. Rat-L-Trap. This lipless crankbait is extremely versatile. Burn the lure over the tops of submerged weed beds. Be sure to keep your rod tip high because this lure is not weed friendly. In my tackle box the Rat-L-Trap, regardless of size, is affectionately called \”The Grappler\” for its amazing ability to snag everything below the surface of the water. It may be difficult to keep it out of the weeds, but if you can you will be astounded at the variety of fish that will chase this lure down. I focus on three main colors when fishing Rat-L-Traps, chrome, baby bass, and the silver shad.
The next time you find yourself frustrated out on the lake remember that bigger isn’t always better. Go small, because ultra-light fishing offers a fresh challenge. Even a slight change in size or patterns may draw a heavy strike from a lurking largemouth.

Category When East meets West

By Hank Miller

 

This is just a little pick me up that I received from a friend. When things don\’t always go the way you want them to go. This is something we all need to read and apply to ourselves from time to time.

 

Me the Fern and the bamboo.

One day I decided to quit…. I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality ….. I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.\”God\”, I said. \”Can you give me one good reason not to quit?\” His answer surprised me…

\”Look around\”, He said. \”Do you see the fern and the bamboo?\”
\”Yes\”, I replied.
\”When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.\”

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo\”. He said, \”In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.\”He said, \”Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from
the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.\”

He said to me, \”Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don\’t compare yourself to others.\”He said, \”The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern, yet, they both make the forest beautiful.\”\”Your time will come,\” God said to me. \”You will rise high!\”
\”How high should I rise?\” I asked.\”How high will the bamboo rise?\” He asked in return. \”As high as it can?\” I questioned. Yes.\” He said, \”Give me glory by rising as high as you can.\”

I left the forest and brought back this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you……..
Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give you Happiness.
Bad days give you Experiences.

Both are essential to life.
Keep going…
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going!
Have a great day! The Sun is shining!!
God is so big He can cover the whole world with His love
and so small He can curl up inside your heart.

Warm Regards from Kitakyushu City, Japan
