TPWD Takig Public Commet o

Use of Dogs to Trail Wouded DeerHearigs Slated for Woodville, Lufki ad Hemphill

A proposal is being considered or 12 counties in East Texas by

the Texas Parks and Wildlie Department that could allow hunters

to use dogs to trail a wounded deer. It is a practice that has been

prohibited in this area o the state since 1990.

Hunters could use dogs to trail a wounded deer in 12 counties in

East Texas, a practice that has been prohibited in this area o the

state since 1990, under a proposal being considered by the Texas

Parks and Wildlie Department.

A series o public meetings will be held to provide details o the

proposal and give the public an opportunity to comment. TheTexas Parks and Wildlie Commission is expected to take action on

the proposed change at its August 22.

In 1990 TPWD adopted rules prohibiting the use o dogs to

trail wounded deer in 34 East Texas counties. The rulemaking

was necessary because the department determined that dogs were

being used unlawully to hunt deer, which was causing depletion

o the resource.

By 2000, TPWD determined that the practice o using dogs to

hunt deer had declined to the point o being nonexistent in some

o those counties and removed the prohibition in 10 o those

counties. TPWD now believes the prohibition could be lited inan additional 12 counties, including: Harris, Harrison, Houston,

Jeerson, Liberty, Montgomery, Panola, Polk, Rusk, San Jacinto,

Trinity, and Walker.

Details about the proposal, along with an opportunity to provide

public comment, can be ound online at http://www.tpwd.state.

tx.us/business/eedback/public_comment/proposals/201308_

deer_dog.phtml . Comment may also be made in writing to Robert

Macdonald, TPWD Regulations Coordinator, 4200 Smith School

Rd., Austin, TX 78744, in person at any o the ollowing public

hearings or at the TPWD annual public hearing on Aug. 21 at 2

p.m. at the above address.

TPWD Pblic Hrin Clndr

All meetings are set to begin at 6 p.m.Tuesday, July 30 in Woodville at the Woodville Elementary

School Community Room, 306 Kirby Drive.

Wednesday, July 31 in Lukin at the Angelina County Courthouse

District Courtroom, 215 East Lukin Avenue.

Thursday, Aug. 1 in Hemphill at the Sabine County Courthouse

District Courtroom, 201 Main Street.

At the conclusion o each public hearing, wildlie ocials willconduct a brie presentation on deer management and regulations

in the Pineywoods. TPWD sta will present inormation related to

regulations and data collection and take questions regarding deer

management, deer hunting and regulations.

and These women just dont want to have no

understanding! Gary was still eating so Melvin

continued their Hall o Fame story.

So the next summer our two youngest boys

wanted to go with us and our two oldest boys

(that would be us) said WERE gonna teach

them how to skin rogs! That later resulted in

my wie catching our two younger boys doing

like a trumpeteer! Melvins reenactment o ourlittle brothers Dustin and Kevin blowing up a

bullrogs backside made or interesting audio

entertainment. Garys version o us doing it was

WAY better. Not that we are proud o being better

at it. Anyway the Knoche Brothers story ended

with and there aint been no rog hunting

since in our amily. Gary deadpans the amily

tradition is gone! with his brother sadly shaking

his head adding no understanding what so ever!

Used to have a heck o a lot o un. Gary jumps

back in we were gonna carry this tradition on

orever and ever! Now they are talking over each

other smiling Pass it down rom generation

to generation! But these dang women just

dont understand! Including Aunt Lou! Gary

hollered good naturedly at our Great Aunt, who

was walking by.

And that riends, in a nutshell is Froggin...

the Knoche Way! As told by our Dads Gary and

Melvin Knoche. To say they ed o o each other

is an understatement. Thats what a tight knit

amily does. They were tough men, tough on

their kids, and each other but thats what made

all o us so close. They were jokesters too and

loved to have un. They may be gone but their

memories, traditions and legacy never will.Well, writing this brings back memories and

then we realized that maybe or 25 years the gigs

didnt even come out o the car. Thats why Gary

didnt miss any! Little things like this are over

looked when you are excited, and i we wouldve

brought it up to Uncle Melvin we would probably

just get that little Melvin smile letting you know

that you were right. Hed never tell you.

ANGLING NEWS KEEPINGANGLERS INFORMED

b pro gide, Joe Joslin

CoLLege aND HIgH SCHooL BaSS TeaMS

oN THe RISe

Hello, Anglers. Fishing teams rom colleges,

middle schools and high schools across the

country are growing in number by leaps and

bounds. This is very exciting to me as a pro

angler to see the next generations loving and

embracing the same sport that I have enjoyed

or so many years. Weve always had young

anglers out there but not with the excitment and

organization that is currently trending. Many

o these young anglers are also starting to sh

tournaments and include both girls and guys.

While the college teams were the rst to start to

organize about 7-8 years ago, high school teams

have organized somewhat dierently with state

bass shing organizations leading the way.One o the rst states to have a strong state

organization was surprisingly not a southern

state but Illinois which was one o the rst

to have state wide organizations or young

anglers with competitive events. This soon led

to a national championship event with teams

qualiying in their home states in order to have

the honor o shing in the National High School

Championship.

A prime example o such a young local

angler who had rather bass sh than just about

anything is Cole Moore o Anacoco, LA. Although

Moore is just an 8th grader, he has a lot o

shing experience under his belt. Recently he

won the 11-14 age Division in the Louisiana

TBF State Tournament held on Toledo Bend

which qualied him to sh the National TBF

Tournament in August.

Other recent accomplishments included

catching an 8.36 pound bass in the Toledo Sealy

Big Bass Splash where he nished 5th over-all.

He also is a member o East Leesville(Louisiana)

Bass Club where he won Co-Angler o The Year

honors in 2012 plus he also has shed some

o the national Fishers O Men tournaments

where he was very competitive. We congratulatethis ne young angler and wish him well in the

national tournament.

unique action, like a baitfsh lost rom its school.

This lure is perect or the pro or beginning angler that w nts

August 2013 and the heat is on hereon Big Sam with plenty o summerun or everyone.

Big Sam has been in great shapeas ar as the water level or the yeareven with the small amount o rainallwe have had. The water has just begunto drop slowly as the days get longerand the summer sun turns on the heat.Sam Rayburn is a big lake with 114,000acres to play and explore with lots ogreat cover or the bass to hide in.

Now here are some tips or shingon Sam Rayburn. The top water bitehas been a little tough to get startedthis year but with all the lily pads,peppergrass and hydrilla its going to

happen. There are a lot o baits thatcome to mind but the Stanley Ribbitis one that stays on top o my list.Throwing a Ribbit into thick cover;pulling it across slowly; waiting to havesome Monster Bass try to take it awayrom me is awesome! It can be heart

pounding when they blow up on it. Nowhere are a couple more oldies that haveproven their catching ability over theyears. Buzz Bait, Pop-R and Spook Jr.These oldies have caught sh all overthe world and still are avorites withmany shermen.

These are also good to catch some othe schoolies that will be out chasingshad o the main lake points andhumps. These schoolies can be a lot oun or everyone and can sometimessave a hard day on the lake when thebass have lockjaw. The crank baits andspinner baits will be good around thegrass edges and o the points early andlate, and you can cover lots o water

looking or active sh. Look or somebass to hang out o the long pointsand ledges in 8 to 20 t o water or thesummer. Thats where you switch overto Carolina or Texas rig and do a lot odragging. Stanley jig has a new castingjig we have been using around the grass

edges to get some o the sh to bite. Itsbeen working pretty good with just alight tap to bring it through the grass. Iyou dont have a ew you need to checkthem out, the hookup has been great.Lets not orget the Stanley ootballjig as its a great tool to catch sh allyear around o the ledges and oshorestructure.

Crappie will be out around most othe stumps this time o year. Movingrom stump to stump can put somenice slabs in the boat. The 147 bridgewill still put out some nice sh andyou can stay in the shade most o theday. Crappie shing this time o yearcan be a lot o un or everyone as you

catch everything rom catsh, bass andperch out there. Grab the kids, come onand enjoy the great outdoors. I have apontoon boat to handle up to 8 anglerswith plenty o shade.

Thanks and God Bless

Well here we are at the rst oAugust; yes it is hot but this time o theyear is also known or hot top wateraction, perhaps the best o the year.Because its also about time to send thekids back to school, its also time to getthose last minute vacations and trips tothe lake in.

As long as there are not aternoonthunderstorms built up, the school basswill get going rom about 2 PM untilabout an hour beore dark. The best

baits or the schooling bass are any kindo shad or clear color top water baits,like a Spook, Spittin-King, or YellowMagic. When the bass are not hittingthe top its good to use a shad coloredcrankbait like a Strike King 3 or 5 XDand sh under them. This is also whenyour slab spoon will come into play.Keep in mind that when the bass quithitting the top they dont go back to thebottom they just suspend and wait oranother ball o bait to come over the

top o their heads and then they run thebait back to the top and its on again,so make sure that when you jig or cast

your spoon that you dont let it hit thebottom, but rather keep it up in theirstrike zone. This is a great opportunityto use your Humminbird 2D and DownImage. Find the sh on your unit andnotice what depth they are hangingat, this is the depth that you want yourspoon to be in. While shing theseschools, you nd that there are lots owhite bass and yellow bass (bar sh)mixed in with the black bass, so youllget a mixed bag and lots o great action

all around!I hot aternoon shing isnt your

thing, there will be some top wateraction happening or the rst hourat day light and again about an hourbeore dark, but remember most o thetime it doesnt last long. Its best to starto with a Yellow Magic, Spittin-King orSpook on the edge o the pepper grass oraround the pads. Then you can switchto a Texas rigged V&M R-Ringer wormand work it on the deep edge o the

pepper grass or the pads. Middle divingcrankbaits also work great out a littledeeper rom the pepper grass and pads.

Your best baits are Strike King 3 XDor Norman Baby N in a shad or perchcolor. Ater this, you can move out tomain lake points or ridges and crank aStrike King 6 or 10 XD or continue touse your Texas rigged R-Ringer. Theseareas are also great places to drag aCarolina rig hooked up with a V&Mworm.

Have a great time on the lake thismonth, but do take care in the heat .. . drink plenty o water BEFORE you

eel thirsty! When you need a breakrom the heat, or i you need to re-loadon hot baits and worms, be sure tostop by Needmore Tackle on Hwy 255;they have new stock arriving and willhook you up with what you need onBig Sam.
