Travis: Yellow Jackets for first bowl win under Johnson

for me,” Travis said.
“You get more contact.
It's more of an NFL

USC never thought El

Kiffin apologizes for Sun Bowl etiquette breach

EL PASO, Texas —
USC coach Lane
Kiffin, who delivered

On Wednesday night,
the Trojans arrived late
for a kickoff dinner
that was to involve both
teams and bowl offi¬
cials. Georgia Tech
'coach Paul Johnson and
his team were leaving
as the Trojans arrived.

matchup side with the
Jackets. The Trojans are
0-2 in the Sun Bowl,
with their most recent
loss toTCU in 1998.
USC allowed four
teams to run for 200
yards or more this sea¬
son, including an
Oregon team that
racked up 426 yards on
the ground, meaning
Georgia Tech running
backs Orwin Smith (673
yards) and Zach Laskey
(637) could enjoy a big
day against a porous
place of my jigs and
spoons with great
resulted out deep.
These are inexpensive
and effective swim
baits for probing the
depths.
During active feeding
periods the bass have
been up against steep
wind blown banks and
the fish will strike fast¬
er moving lures like a
McStick, spinner baits
and even rattling crank
baits like Rattle Trap or
Aruku Shad in natural
shad colors.
Stripers. Striper fish¬
ing should continue to
be strong as long as
you are able to travel
around to find the
active schools. Stripers
go through a false
spawning run up into
the creeks and rivers in
early spring.
Before they start
these runs they concen¬
trate all winter on get¬
ting fat and healthy,
and you can find them
both shallow and deep,
but the majority of
stripers will be shal¬
lower in early winter.
Flat lines and planner
boards are both good
methods. Better yet, set
a combination spread
of both planner boards,
fueled by a photo of an
empty dining room,
became a hot topic on
Twitter and news out¬
lets.
Kiffin said the
Trojans were 30 min¬
utes tardy because of
their late arrival at the
airport, which pushed
back the start of a late
afternoon practice.
Kiffin said bowl offi¬
cials were with the
Trojans throughout the
day.
Upon seeing Georgia
Tech exiting, Kiffin
said he thought the
teams were perhaps
scheduled to arrive and
depart at staggered
times and was not
aware there was an
front seven.
“I think they’re ready
to go,” said Travis, who
is close friends with
Laskey. “They want to
show how hard they’ve
been working.”
The Jackets may also
benefit from USC’s
undisciplined play.
While Georgia Tech
ranks 24th in fewest
penalties per game, the
Trojans are ranked a dis¬
mal 113th in the nation
with an average of eight
penalties per game for
flat and down lines to
cover a w ider area.
Here is a neat trick
that 1 use that will help
you to pull multiple
lines without getting
tangled.
Take a regular flat
line (just a hook and
live baitfish) and let it
out about 20-30 feet of
line behind your boat.
Then tie a balloon to
the line right where
your line comes out of
the tip of your rod.
Then let another 50 feet
of line out.
When you reel in a
fish, your line will just
slide through and the
balloon will just stay at
the tip of your rod.
Then you can run a
regular flat line out on
the same side. The line
with the balloon will
hold the free swimming
baitfish far enough
behind your flat line so
they won't get tangled.
I run two balloon flat
lines and two standard
flat lines (two rods on
each side of the boat) at
the same time so I have
four rods going at once.
1 often run two addi¬
tional down lines from
the front of the boat
(one on each side).
This allows me to
issue until Thursday
morning.
“We had no intention
of disrespecting any
body,” A' Kiffin said.
USC athletic
department spokesman
said that Georgia Tech
had arrived earlier than
scheduled. But a
Georgia Tech spokes
man said the Yellow
Jackets were there at
their appointed time,
adding: “From our per¬
spective, it was not a
big deal.”
Kiffin also expressed
disappointment about a
Twitter post by defen
sive lineman Leonard
Williams later
Wednesday evening.
Williams, a freshman
66.5 yards.
But for Georgia Tech
to pull out the victory, it
will have to contain star
receiver Marqise Lee.
The sophomore has 112
receptions for 1,680
yards and 14 touch¬
downs to lead the nation
in receptions and is sec¬
ond for receiving yards.
The Trojans will try to
exploit a Tech secondary
that has given up 239.2
yards per game and
ranks 81st in passing
efficiency defense.
fish six lines at the
same time without get¬
ting them tangled and
greatly increases my
odds.
Gulls dive bombing
the surface are a dead
giveaway that there are
loons or stripers corral¬
ling baitfish close to
the service.
Cast buck tails or
spoons to any swirling
stripers you witness or
let your offering fall
below loons as stripers
often school below
feeding birds to pick
any wounded bait fish.
Loons are very smart
and l have never had
one strike a lure, but 1
have caught a lot of
stripers around loons.
Trolling umbrella rigs
has been working very
well this past week and
as stated in my past
reports, it is an excel¬
lent way to cover water.
If you catch a striper
while pulling your
umbrella rigs, circle
back around because
you may catch several
in the same area.

proficient at trolling

comment about the city
of El Paso. He later
removed the comment
and apologized.
Williams’ post came
less than a month after
Trojans linebacker
Tony Burnett tweeted
negative remarks about
El Paso, including “no
one wants to be there
New Year’s Eve.”
Burnett and Kiffin
later apologized for the
remarks.
On Thursday, Kiffin
said he was “very sur
prised” by Williams’
tigect.
“We talk about it, we
address it,” he said.

SUNDAY. DECEMBER 30.2012
Quarterback Matt
Barkley will not play in
the game after separat¬
ing his shoulder against
UCLA, giving way to
freshman Max Wittek.
Wittek, who only start¬
ed the final game for the
Trojans, threw for 186
yards while boasting a
60.9 completion percent¬
age and 8.1 yards per
attempt. However, the
former four-star recruit
threw two interceptions
in a 22-13 loss to Notre
Dame on Nov. 24.
stripers on their graph.
The umbrella rig fol¬
lows, then it is “fish
on!”
Crappie: Crappie
fishing is slow, but 1
did witness a person
catching from inside of
his boat house.
He had the heater
going and the game
playing while he low¬
ered his crappie min¬
nows with a split shot
directly down to a
brush pile 15-20 feet
below the dock.
You can fish the same
way minus the dock by
working small crappie
jigs tipped with a live
minnow through brush
and lay down trees in
the backs of the creeks.
Look for baitfish in
water that is stained for
your best success.
Trout. Trout fishing
has been a little slow
below Buford Dam, but
there are plenty of
holdover trout to be
caught, so it’s still
worth a try.
For better luck, take a
trip up to the mountains
to one of the year round
trout streams and fish
there.
The fishing has been
better in the mountains
due to recent rains.
unfortunately, they
screw up. ... Once
again, another apology
was sent out as soon as
we got ahold of it.
“It does not reflect
the way our staff feels
or the way that our
team feels, so I was
really upset with that;
especially, you’d think,
we would’ve learned
from the last one.”
Kiffin, however, indi¬
cated that no punish¬
ment was forthcoming.
“You’ve got to be
careful where you get
into people’s rights,” he
said.
“You can disagree
with what they’re say¬
ing, like we do, but 1
don’t think you start
“It doesn’t matter who
plays [quarterback],”
Travis said. "We’re a dis¬
ciplined team. We have
confidence no matter who
starts. We’ve got a bunch
of guys on the scout team
that do a real good job.
“They’ve got some big
receivers that are going to
do stuff after the catch.
We have to be in pursuit
and play as a team to stop
their players."
The 2012 Hyundai Sun
Bowl will kick off at 2
p.m. on Monday.
Live earthworms
(where live bait fishing
is permitted by law) are
just about the best
thing to fish because
rain often washed
worms into the streams.
Rooster tails fished
slowly in the rapids in
the rivers or streams
work well when the
water is slightly cloudy.
Bank Fishing: Many
anglers are out fishing
from the shores of Lake
Lanier and most are
targeting stripers.
Even if you only
catch one of the large,
hardfighting fish in an
outing, you can usually
make a meal for the
whole family. Other
species can be caught
in winter from the
shore.
If you are targeting
stripers, use large shin¬
ers or trout because
they will stay alive a
pretty long time in a
regular fiVe-gallon
bucket when it is cold.
If your bait dies, you
can still use cut bait on
a bottom rig to catch
stripers and even cat¬
fish. Smaller bait like
crappie minnows or
medium shiners will
work for a variety of
species.
