There’s bass lures that work and then there’s lures you can serve with coffee
The time has come! Spring is here, the sun will be shinning late into Autumn this year, and the fish are promising to be jumping in the boats, especially that most delectable of fish, the bass. You need only gather a formidable array of bass fishing lures to entice them, and, as you’ll see, a little java helps.
Bass fishermen, like all fishermen, differ sharply on which are the best bass fishing lures, the ones sure to get that strike every time it comes in sight and smell of that slimy delight. Live swimming grub or a lure imitating grub have proven effective for snatching those bass ten to fifteen feet deep. Live grub wag their tails in a subtle manner, which brings attention from those bass below, so if you’re using artificial grub, assure their tails will wag gently as you fan cast around your boat. Use a steady retrieve, slow and smooth. Shad coloured grub lures are especially attractive.
 Poter B with 42 inch striped bass Oct 5th 2009 Many bass fishermen use spinner baits, but most find these sink too slowly and the action doesn’t fool the bass. Interestingly enough, a one half ounce Sonar has properties that call those bass like a school of shad. The metal blade vibrates and the lure sinks quickly, hitting the bottom with a hard thud. The size of a threadfin shad will catch the eye of any bass. You’re sure to land your max with these.
Switch blades are popular bass fishing lures for catching bass, the Heddon Sonar, the Reef Runner Cicada, and Wordens Showdown are popular and very effective lures. These lures are normally fished vertically, but many cast them for more extensive coverage. Cast these out about 15 feet, let them fall to 20 feet, then pump it back up to 15, repeating this until you’ve completed the retrieve. Aim in another direction and try again. The more area you cover, the greater likelihood you’ll hook that large one.
Soft plastic bass fishing lures have also produced good results. These are constructed almost like a fly. The hair and feathers are neatly tied to the soft, plastic bodies. Some sparkling flash material is also tied to the body. Nothing like flash to spark that bass’ interest. These lures may imitate worms, shad and grub. They are more a work of art than a lure, but perhaps there are art-loving bass out there too.
An interesting bass lure that eerily seems to have considerable success is the coffee tube. The tub is soft plastic oiled with coffee oil and, of course, the hook at one end. Apparently, the bass can’t resist it. Chum with coffee grinds?
In addition to the commercially sold bass fishing lures, you also have the option of making your own lure. You can melt some lead, such as soft-lead catfish sinkers. Construct a mold and set within it the hooks nicely spaced. Then dribble the mold to close the lead and hold the hooks in place. After a minute, open the mold, clear excess lead, and then paint it with a bright, intense color. Rub some coffee oil on it and see if that doesn’t make it your favorite bass lure of all. Like some coffee with that, mister big mouth bass?

The truth about environmental health will not come from politicians, but from scientists
Global warming – is it fiction? The dispute is nearing an end as environmental health scientists narrow the data down to scientific evidence and whichever side prevails, this data will give humanity the information we need to exercise some control over earth and our own destiny.
When politicians in the past called into question the validity of global warming, the science community, with few exceptions, angrily revolted, as scientists do, vindictive, with contempt and disparagement. This interfered with science, did boggle the progress the world was attempting to achieve through emission control treaties. As predicted, this irresponsible, perhaps even selfish meddling with the fate of humanity has been brought, into the clear and shown to be pure foolishness.
Thirty years before politicians proposed his myopic vision of the perils facing the earth through global warming, an esteemed thinker, the chemist; Charles F. Baes, Jr. of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (a U.S. Department of Energy institution) sounded the alarm. He pointed to the rising Leviathan of global warming, the reality of the greenhouse effect and the unconsciousness of man to the coming disaster that would follow as effect.
No self-respecting scientist today denies that the activities of humans, from the burning of fossil fuels to deforestation, are significant, contributory causes of global warming and the deterioration of environmental health. New data is revealing the intricate relationship between human activities and the biosphere. Common sense tells us that if a man sets a forest on fire and burns it down, carbon dioxide is increased in the atmosphere, ecosystems are destroyed, animals of every variety are killed and at least in that former forest, the microclimate is altered.
In addition to common sense, the light of science breaks through the black clouds those dark men, for reasons of power and profit, have breathed over our cherished earth. Science continues to bring us out of ignorance and the arrogance of selfish men.
Today and for the last ten years, scientists are experimenting with grasslands and forests, measuring carbon dioxide levels, temperatures, precipitation and actually varying these in order to determine the responses of life forms and ecosystems. With this data, we will be able to establish environmental health boundaries and requirements to predict possible dangers and enact measures to control and restore the damage our activities have done.
Using scientific methods, theory, experiments, observation, reasoning and results, our environmental health scientists are providing us with something we should never look to political forces to disclose. Science is revealing the truth – truth about our affects on the earth, on life, from the worm to the lark. On the generations of humans that will come after us and on our responsibilities to all of these. Thanks science!

Novel Gardening Ideas – the Upside Down Garden
So you have a problem with your garden pests and you’ve tried everything you can think of; but have you tried turning your garden upside down? No this is not a joke. They’re actually selling upside down planters now to help you grow your garden in pots turned over and most recent converts are so crazy over this that they refuse to ever grow a normal garden ever again.
As gardening ideas go, this one is terribly popular now, as a gardening enthusiast friend (a tattoo artist in Montréal) tells me. His problem was [...]
