Mind your manners while fishing
On the water
By Teresa Hornburg
T^orgetting to
1 mind our man-
|i ners while fish-
ing is too many
times forgotten. We need
to remember that the
other person has lim-
ited time just as we do.
Hundreds of times while
throwing my net for bait
men who are not fishing
for the cold blooded one
will approach me and
enter the 3’ area that
surrounds my body that
I call my “personal space
and start to small talk
about nothing at all. I
am a serious angler.
Like most anglers I fish
to catch fish not men.
Unless you want a face
full of lead weights and
netting don’t stand that
close. I doubt if there is
anyone who would put
down their net or pole
to visit with a complete
stranger for very long.
This is annoying during
the day, threatening and
potentially dangerous at
night. One day I actually
pretended to be deaf as
I heard this man asking
“whats a pretty girl like
you doing out here,who
taught you how to throw a
net like that” (like what?
I’m thinking and it’s obvi-
ous what I’m doing.) My
luck would have it as I
heard his car door slam I
turned around to see him
smiling and using sign
language trotting over to
his new “friend”.
Come on fella’s think
about it. Many of my fish-
ing trips have been spoiled
by rude people. I have
spoiled a few for other
people as well. I was fish-
ing near Palm harbour
one summer day and not
having very good luck. I
was looking through bin-
oculars for some signs
of anything that looked
promising,when a huge
flock of birds were work-
ing about a half mile
away. There were three
boats and everyone was
catching legal to over-
sized trout two at a time.
I slammed down the
throttle. I got way too
excited. Boats are not
equipped with brakes!
I realized how terribly
rude I was way two late.
All I could do was apol-
ogize. It seems that all
those men new how to
use sign language as well!
Public fishing piers are
for everyone to enjoy.
Bayside has one of the
few left in Texas that
has no admission fee or
pole fee or limit. Be con-
siderate by not bring 25
poles with you and fill all
the rod holders Or take
up the entire T-head.
Nueces County Parks and
Recreation’s has a four
pole limit per person and
charges pole fees. The
price is fair. Remember
how nice it is not having
to pay next time you come
out to fish. If you are
headed home and have
bait left over why not offer
it someone who may use
it. Please don’t feed the
gulls while on the pier.
Angler etiquette is mostly
common sense. The most
important rule to follow
is properly dispose of your
trash or take it with you.
From the looks of things
around the “so called”
boat landing it seems that
a lot of people forget this
simple rule.
Shark anglers get ready!
The last week of May
until mid June numer-
ous varied species will be
making their appearance
as seasons evolve making
them sometimes predict-
able, sometimes not.
This year is already
showing signs that it’s
going to be an active
summer for shark fish-
ing. Numerous black tip
have been caught in San
Antonio Bay close to the
Aransas Wildlife Refuge.
All were very decent
size ranging from 2’ to
4’. They were caught on
a 6/0 Ambassador using
145# braided line. Skip
jack was used for bait.
This rig can also land a
8’ to 12’ Texas Lemon
,Tiger or any other big
shark if you have plenty
of line, time and ener-
gy. You have to go down
island to the Big Shell
area for the best chance
to get these big guys. The
blacktip in Copano Bay
are plentiful but on the
small side. Bonnetheads
and Hammerhead were
reported to be in a frenzy
at the Shrimp boat chan-
nel and I.C.W. intersec-
tion. While on the subject
of sharks I was horrified
Tonight is
as to what I saw while
shopping at an offshore
fishing store. There were
at least 100 baby nurse
sharks dead and being
preserved in a glass jar
and being sold as souve-
nirs
I hope you have a fishing
story to tell or good advice
to share. If you do I’ll wel-
come your correspondence

Good and simple
advice
Editor:
I read with much inter-
est the article about
Pauline Dillard and
105 years of life. I was
impressed by her advice
“live your own life, and
live it as full as possible
and decently. I am afraid
many people get the first
part but not the decently
part. This is very good
and simple advice for us
all. May she have years of
living as full as possible.

“BIG” thank you
Editor:
To the residents of
Refugio County. We
appreciate your par-
ticipation in the rabies
drive held in Refugio
County this spring. There
were a total of 162 dogs
and cats vaccinated in
Autwell, Tivoli, Bayside,
Woodsboro and Refugio.
A “big” thank you to
all the city and county
employees (and spous-
es) who so graciously
coordinated our dates,
advertised, opened your
facilities, and gave up a
Saturday to help us. We
couldn’t provide services
for your pets without your
volunteers who come out
to help us!
Please watch for our
advertisements for next
year’s drive. It’s good to
see all of you each year!

Lady Cats eye

Editor:
The taste of victory for
the Refugio Lady Cats
Softball team is twice as
sweet this year, not sim-
ply because winning is a
tradition at Refugio High
School; but because these
young ladies play for the
mere love of the sport.
Publicity, fan atten-
dance and school recogni-
tion are often overshad-
owed. The Refugio Lady
Cats have quietly and
humbly taken the field
for the majority of their
season to a handful of
fans, no cheerleaders, low
faculty attendance, no
concession building, no
rest room facilities, anti-
quated spectator stands
and more often than not,
no publicity.
Yet, these young ladies
have played with the
heart, soul and deter-
mination that embodies
the very essence of the
“Fighting Bobcat Spirit”
to obtain their spot in the
Regional Finals and one
game away from the State
Softball Tournament
something no other ath-
letic team has accom-
plished this year and fur-
ther than any other soft-
ball team in RHS history.
It is easy to compete
with state-of-the-art facil-
ities, more coaches than
sense, overwhelming fan
support, constant media
attention and the full and

complete involvement of
your student body and
administration, but it is
much tougher to compete
in a sport that is not so
popular or recognized.
It is obvious that the
Refugio Lady Cats play
because they simply love
the game; and we can all
learn a valuable lesson in
perseverance from each
of them-to win when no
one is watching is tanta-
mount to doing the right
thing when no one is look-
ing.
Ladies, please know
that the reward you reap
whether you win or lose

which no one else has;
and know that you have
done so in the true spirit
