  Fishin' with Capt. Gus! ~ T-Shirts
November 30, 2008
From time to time people wear t-shirts with messages. Images and words printed on a shirt might support a cause, a product, or sometimes an event or sport. Shirts that fishermen wear often show pictures of leaping fish. Some are very funny, while others are off the wall with subtle humor. Below are some that might bring a smile to your face.
A lady, pushing a cart at a local discount store, wore one that said, “Fishing is like picking green beans. It’s a spiritual experience.” Another showed a hand written sign in the grass with an image of a church in the background. The sign reads, “No fishing - violators will be baptized.”
There was one with a rainbow trout in a frying pan. Below the picture said, “The End of a Rainbow.” Another was of a big bass that read, “You have to hook ‘em to cook ’em.” A sequel read, “Bad fishermen have to buy ‘em to fry ‘em”, and printed on another, “Vegetarian is an Indian word for a Bad Fisherman.”
For the holiday season, one shirt reads, “Fishermen never have enough rods, reels, tackle boxes or boats.”
A guy wearing a camouflaged shirt proudly displayed this derogatory remark about anglers. “Hunters lie and wait; fishermen wait and lie.”
An elderly gentleman was seen wearing a t-shirt shirt with the picture of a big catfish. It said, “Gone fishin’- be back some day.” Another good one was, “There is no limit to how many times you can go fishin’.”
And finally, my all time favorite says, “I spent most of my money fishing. The rest I wasted.”
Tips from Capt. Gus!
Stripers have razor sharp gill plates. If handled improperly, they will severely cut your hands and fingers. Stripers do not have teeth. So, when unhooking it can be held by the jawbone by using your thumb and forefinger.
Upcoming Events:
A holiday seminar about “Frequently Asked Questions When Fishing for Lake Norman’s Bass, Stripers, and Catfish” is scheduled for Thursday, December 11, 2008 from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Gander Mountain, Mooresville, Exit 36.

Hot spots of the week:
Hot spots of the week are the major creek runs up and down Lake Norman. Stripers are being taken by slow trolling and by drifting live baits. Anglers in Hicks, Stumpy, Hager and Reed Creeks are seeing plenty of action. Spotted bass are hitting lures and live baits around brush piles and drop offs. The surface water temperature is in the sixties and the lake level is about 3.2 feet below full pond.
