[quote name="liltex" post="819652" timestamp="1279802876"] People in the work force get tested so why not test teachers/coaches/admin and especially bus drivers. [/quote] That is true but in my mind, what an adult does to his own body is his business from an employment standpoint. As long as it does not interfere with his job or endanger the public I don't really care. Now with teachers/admin, etc., I can understand the performance aspect of it. The employee needs to show up and ready to do the job. From a law enforcement perspective, I understand the fact that it can be a crime but is it the business of a school district to be enforcing or investigating criminal law? Their business should be to make sure that their employees show up on time and ready to do their job. If a substance interferes with that then it is an issue and even with a legal substance like alcohol. Children/students are a different issue entirely. What we do or require from or for children to protect them in no way has any relation to what an adult employee does. It is not tit for tat.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="819236" timestamp="1279644376"] I say continue the testing.  [size=12pt][b]I am one of those that believes that the confirmed cases are so low because of the deterrent effect of the testing. [/b][/size]The $1 million in scheme of things is not that big of a price tag when we are talking about the health of our young men and women.  In fact, that is an amount that should not even touch the taxpayers.  As discussed in an earlier thread, by the next re-alignment, Texas will have almost 200 more teams in the playoffs games, which amounts to about 100 more playoff games which the UIL gets 15% of the gross...and that is just football.  All other sports pay a portion of the gross in post-season games to the UIL.   Off of this alone, they have more than enough to pay for a testing program in Texas. [/quote] You are correct.

[quote name="mat" post="818716" timestamp="1279383737"] Where were they bank fishing? Under lights? live or artificial? [/quote] Bank fishing under the lights. Last night all were on artificial.

They are back again tonight. I watched a couple of coworkers put a couple on the bank that were over 20" and a few other keepers by the time I left.

CRAP! [/quote] You would have loved it last night, especially if you just wanted to catch fish. I caught almost 30 and they were still hitting when I left. [/quote] live bait or soft plastics? [/quote] All of the above. I couldn't find much live bait but when I did find some, I lost it in less than a minute. I got tired of using the cast net. I finally caught the most on about a 2.5" shad looking lure that I had just bought at Academy. It looked about the right size, shape and color of the shad so I tried it. I am heading back for some more. Like flyfishing, match the hatch. Throw a bait at 'em that looks like what they are eating.

[/quote]That is not funny if its your kid at QB :D [/quote] Maybe. If he is the 5th quarterback, he gets the win at LCM.  ;D

You know, I guess for a forum anything is game for discussion but Nederland and LCM don't play for several months. It could almost as valid discussing their chances in the 2012 season.  :D

I predict that when they play almost 4 months from now, Nederland will be on their 5th quarterback  and will win anyway.

The specks are moving back north again.. finally. I did a spur of the moment trip late Thursday night. I started fishing about 11:15PM and finished about 1:15AM. I took home 8 keeper specks with the biggest being a little over 18". I caught 16 others that were undersized or right at the 15" mark and I didn't want to chance it. [IMG][Hidden Content]]

[/quote] I never went to the docks, only to the seawall.

[quote name="sharkfutbol" post="816380" timestamp="1278424452"] Someone told me Fiddler crabs or the  small crabs with ONE big pincher  are good bait.  Is this true and how much do they sell for.  [/quote] They can be good for reds and drum as are any crabs. I have never heard of anyone selling them. Just catch them on the shore near where you fish. You can catch the usually seen blue crab and get the same results. According to how big of a fish you are going for, either crack it and fish with the whole big crab or shell it and use half of it or less for smaller drum and reds.

[quote name="Bucof2010" post="816113" timestamp="1278286526"] We're going out there tonight with lights hope there's not to much July fourth commotion near the water [/quote] After the fireworks show, I fished for about 20 minutes. I caught one at almost 18" and a couple of undersized ones. I couldn't see much moving where I was so I gave it up early.

[quote name="Bucof2010" post="816077" timestamp="1278250104"] Hows the water there? It's bad in the bay [/quote] I was okay I guess and not really muddy in the channel from all the rain. On Pleasure Island last night near the boat basin, we saw lots of fish exploding in huge schools of shad. We were at work and couldn't fish though. I saw one guy make a cast with a shad on his hook and in about 10 seconds he hooked one up but lost it by the bank. We left as it started to rain but we still saw them exploding in those schools of shad.

[quote name="thetragichippy" post="815752" timestamp="1278080968"] So, did anyone go fishing? [/quote] Nope. I fell asleep watching the television and didn't wake up until late.  ;D

[/quote] what time are you headed out?? [/quote] I am not sure about the tide tonight. I might go about 10PM-ish if I go...... and if the weather holds.

[quote name="Bucof2010" post="815561" timestamp="1277982404"] 87 was closed last night Idk when its going to be open again [/quote] It's a good thing that I am not going that way then.  :)

[quote name="Vpbaseball#9" post="815558" timestamp="1277977677"] I was going to go last night but i figured the water would be too screwed up from that hurricane.... [/quote] I didn't worry about the water so much in the ship channel but it was still raining and fairly windy. Maybe tonight.

I am off from now until July 10th and I might make some nighttime fishing trips if the weather will clear up from this storm. I will have to check and see how the tides are running.

It started raining from the outer bands of Alex so I didn't go fishing. I start vacation today so I might make some night trips in the next few days.

[/quote] So how are those IFS holdin up??? [/quote] Since I work the night shift, I don't know yet. I might get off in an hour or so if it is slow and if the other sergeant stays the rest of the night.

If the weather holds and if I can get off of work early tonight, I might try my luck but that is two big "IFS".

A couple of guys went out last night and took 20 of them home but it took about 4 hours.
