I love night fishing. Most of the times it’s because I don’t get to go out and fish during the day because of my work, but now there’s more to it than just the convenience. I’ve observed that night fishing offers you the same conditions as daytime, but with generally better results. Sometimes I can swear the fishing conditions are even better during the night, since there are fewer anglers to compete with for a good fishing spot,l.a.galaxy shirt, and less noise as well.

I’ve also come to realize that when you find a good fishing spot during the day, coming back to it at night will net you even more fish. Although I can’t explain why, but the fish just seem to bite more at night. One little drawback though is that it’s harder to see your line, but since you’re getting a lot of fish, it’s worth the effort. For this reason, perhaps, I’ve seen a lot of daytime fishermen turn to night fishing. When I asked one why, he just said it makes him look good because he catches more fish that way!

If you want to try night fishing, I say full speed ahead! But make sure that the weather forecast for that night is good. It’s going to be difficult enough moving about and finding things in the dark; when you go out night fishing during bad weather, it just makes it worse and more dangerous. I know this sounds elementary, but you’d be surprised at the number of anglers who forget this very simple rule.

Here’s one tip to make your night fishing even better: Watch the moon,Birmingham shirt! You might be thinking it sounds a bit crazy, but try it and see for yourself. You’ll be surprised at the things you might learn. One thing you’re most likely to notice is that most fish hide in the shadows during a full moon. I can’t tell you why because I don’t know myself, but that’s what I and my night fishing friends have observed,Football shirts, anyway. So now when you find some shadows on the water,Celtic shirt, you’ll know where to cast your line.

If there are no shadows and the moon isn’t shining down on the water, it will make your task of finding the fish a bit harder, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck and have to return another evening. The fish seems more likely to bite anytime it’s not a full moon or if it’s partially hidden by clouds. So now you’ll know how to determine which fishing spot will be more likely to get you better results. If the moon is shining full and bright, go for the shadows in the water. If it’s hidden or even nowhere to be seen, just go to your favorite fishing spot and expect lots of hits on the line.

I’ve heard a lot of anglers say that they only fish during a full moon, while others say that no moon is the best time for night fishing. What I’d recommend to you is to go out into the night and try both. You will get good results, whether it’s a full moon or night. All you have to remember is to adjust your fishing technique and change your fishing spots, depending on how much the moon is shining during the night.

COLUMBIA RaeShara Brown stands at 5-foot-8, making her the second-shortest player on the Missouri women’s basketball team behind sophomore Trenee Thornton. Her voice is the loudest on the court, though, often drowning out that of coach Robin Pingeton’s. While she was a strong contributer last season, Brown has tried to step up into the role of a leader on the team.

“I just try to learn how to communicate and lead my teammates in a positive manner, learn how to encourage and be uplifting, more so than using constructive criticism,” Brown said. “A lot of times,Atletico Madrid shirt, D-1 athletes are already hard enough on themselves, so by us being able to lift each other and encourage each other when things are going wrong, it makes the games go a lot smoother.”

Brown’s positive attitude translates on the court. The senior guard leads Missouri with 16 points per game. She has accumulated 41 steals in the Tigers’ 16 games, 27 more than any other player. But one stat stands out. The second-shortest player to wear the Tiger uniform this season leads the team with 6.6 rebounds per game.

While Brown improved on every statistic from last season, she focused most on developing into a strong leader this past off season.

“I think some people have it in them, and I think some people don’t. I’d like to think that I have a strong voice,” Brown said. “When people see me work, I think it makes them want to work hard,Villareal shirt, too. It’s just us pushing each other, and it’s the message we try to get across. Being a leader, it’s just a part of making people want to follow. I have to make the right actions when leading.”

Missouri coach Robin Pingeton looks highly upon the senior. Because Brown has been at MU three more years than Pingeton, the coach relies on her to carry the new coaching staff’s message on the court, saying Brown’s buy-in from day one has been outstanding.

“Shes a young lady that impacts a lot of people. Her body language has gotten so much better. Shes a fighter,” Pingeton said. “Sometimes we remind her, shes one of those players that needs to take a deep breath and make sure shes embracing and encouraging her teammates.”

Brown gives credit to the first-year coaching staff that came to Missouri from Illinois State for her continued success. According to the senior guard, the transition in coaching staffs this past off season was seamless.

“I can’t think of a hard time we had adjusting to the new coaching staff,” Brown said. “Of course we had to take time to learn what their expectations were and what they demanded of us,Ajax shirt, but as far as just embracing them and them coming in and making it easier to actually be a family, it wasn’t a big mess with that part of it.”

A smooth adjustment for the Tigers led to a conference-opening win over Texas. Missouri made a 12-0 run in the final three minutes of regulation to send the game to overtime. Brown scored a career-high 27 points that also led the team. The Tigers were unable to hold on to an eight-point halftime lead over Texas Tech, though.

“That win against Texas makes us want more of that, which has pushed us to work even harder,” Brown said. “And to know that we came so close against Texas Tech and weren’t able to finish I think put a bigger chip on our shoulder, and we don’t want any more (games) to slip away like that.”

Playing in her final year, Brown wants continue building on her leadership role by implementing positive thinking,Celtic shirt, both on and off the court. She attributes some of her growth to playing in the Big 12 conference, which has six teams in the USA Today poll’s top 30.

“It’s what the Big 12 is all about. When you get a little taste of something different every year, you learn how to intensify. You learn how much passion you have to play with,” Brown said. “When I’m working on my game, I’m just constantly thinking about the Big 12.”

COLUMBIA — Having dropped two of its final three matches,Santos shirt, including one at Texas A&M, the Missouri volleyball team’s postseason hopes were anything but guaranteed. But the Tigers managed to claim one of the last at-large slots in the 64-team NCAA tournament, their eighth straight tournament appearance.

“I’m really excited,” sophomore Lei Wang said. “Texas A&M was one of the things we were worried about, but they didn’t make it and we did.”

That was the good news. The bad news came when MU learned it would head to Seattle to meet the No. 6 seeded Washington Huskies at 9 p.m. on Friday. The Huskies have been to the past three Final Fours. But senior Na Yang wasn’t worried about the difficulty of the match.

“Any team can beat any team,Italy football shirt,” Na said. “We just have to play our best.”

The Huskies enter the tournament at 26-3, with all three losses taking the full five games. That includes an 11-1 mark at home, with the only loss coming to No. 1 seed Stanford.

“We’re going to have to prepare and do the best we can and hope we can execute some things,Juventus shirt,” coach Wayne Kreklow said. “But I’ve got no false illusions that this is going to be anything but one of our toughest matches of the season.”

Kreklow said that other than an injury to freshman Catie Wilson, the Tigers will be relatively healthy. Wilson will not practice this week,Inter Milan shirt, but should be available to play.

If the Tigers defeat the Huskies, they would meet either Brigham Young or Mississippi in the second round. MU already faced Mississippi once this year, losing in five games to the Rebels. The Tigers have never played Brigham Young.
