Take the road less traveled to find unpressured water to find some great North Carolina bass fishing.
By Craig Holt
Tar Heel state anglers have a couple of choices to make during June — aim for numbers or bigger bass.
So what should bass fishermen consider if they don't want to sit in a queue of trucks and boat trailers at a premier Triangle-area bass factory? Consider two keys — a lake's fishable acres and its numbers of decent-size bass.
Here's a look at one of the greatest smallmouth rivers in the state and two North Carolina lakes that offer plenty of room, marginal pressure and great spring fishing — with the added attraction of the possibility of landing a lunker.
More popularly known as Buggs Island, only about one third lies within North Carolina's border, while the rest is in Virginia. However, a reciprocal fishing license agreement allows either state's anglers to fish anywhere on its 49,500 acres.
Because its two major arms extend approximately 50 miles in length and include 80 shoreline miles, Buggs actually has four parts. It's created by two main rivers — the Dan flows from the west, weaving in and out of both states, while the Staunton begins at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia's Appalachian foothills.
At their confluence near Staunton River State Park in Virginia, the lake courses east toward Clarksville, Va. June's two top bass fishing tributaries along this stretch (west of Clarksville) are Buffalo and Bluestone creeks.
East of Clarksville lies the lake's central and largest section. Tributaries such as Grassy, Butchers, Eastland, Island and Mill creeks feed the main lake. Their irregular shorelines offer shallow spawning areas of sand and pea gravel, numerous flats, nearby deep channels, protruding points covered with sweet gum trees, stump flats and blowdowns.
The other major arm — and North Carolina's largest section — is north-to-south Nutbush Creek.
Several tributaries, including Little Nutbush, Quarry Branch, Burroughs Mill and Flat creeks, create Nutbush Creek. Each has "bassy" shoreline structure marked by buck brush, flooded willows and sweet gum trees, long rocky points and islands where largemouths regain pounds and energy lost during the spawn.
They ambush baitfish — and lures — throughout June.
"In June, bass get on the long flat points at the lower end of the lake," said Jeff Coble, who has three Bassmaster Classic appearances, two BFL titles (worth $100,000 each) and an ESPN Bassmaster Series Championship to his credit.
"During June I mostly fish points from Kerr Lake Dam to Grassy Creek (to the west) or toward Satterwhite Point (in Nutbush Creek) to the south," said the 54-year-old native of Snow Camp, N.C.
"You'll see slick sand bars and red clay points (that hold bass) and can also pick up (a bass) now and then at solitary stumps."
Most Buggs bass weigh 2 1/2 to 4 pounds, but 5- and 6-pound fish aren't rare.
Coble likes to fish during June with a medium-action, 7-foot custom graphite stick by rod-master Bill Poe (from an 843 G. Loomis blank), mated to an Ardent 1000 reel spooled with 14-pound-test Vicious co-polymer line.
He prefers Poe rods because "they really throw Lucky Craft Sandys and Zara Spooks good. White's the main color."
During June he's usually looking at his depth-finder for signs of blueback herring or alewife schools.
"I'll use darker (lure) colors if the water gets muddy, but it's hard to get muddy at Buggs in June," he said.
He'll often throw a Zoom Super Fluke after 9 a.m. when alewives and bluebacks school off main-lake points.
David Wright, a retired Davidson County high-school teacher and Coble's long-time fishing partner, said the lake's water level dictates the spring bass bite.
"People who fish the lake in early June still can find shallow bass," he said, "especially in the morning. You can catch 'em with topwater lures then — and later if it's a cloudy day.
"If water is high in the bushes, you'll have a somewhat normal bite (Carolina-rigged plastics or jig-and-pig lures). Years ago it was a great topwater bite, and you threw buzzbaits. There'd be a lot of shad (threadfins and gizzards) in the bushes."
Wright uses 7-foot-long American Rodsmith rods mated to Lew's BB1N reels. He also uses 10-pound-test clear Stren monofilament line with a Lew's reel or a Quantum E600 PT bait-caster (4.4-to-1 gear ratios).
"Jeff and I both use Zoom crankbaits — and Zoom plastics," he said.
During the last five or six years, the two have changed their approach. Largemouths still may be caught shallow, but expanding numbers of bluebacks and alewives have altered bass post-spawn locations.
"Bluebacks and alewives have changed the way people bass fish," Wright said. "Buggs bass don't relate to cover like they used to. They just swim around (the open lake), following baitfish."
Bass pro and guide Joel Richardson of Kernersville (336-803-2195) lives 114 miles from Buggs Island Lake and likes the place so much he built a vacation home there.
But when he wants quality fishing closer to home, he heads south down US 220 to Randleman Reservoir.
"It's the best bass lake in the piedmont," he said. "This spring it should be near its peak (as a largemouth lake)."
Most of the lake's shallow brushy structure and small stickups have dissolved. But N.C. Wildife Resources Commission's fisheries biologists, with help from Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority workers, have replenished Randleman's woody shoreline cover with the help of chainsaws. They cut large trees and let them fall into the water, often near channels that curve near the banks.
Baitfish have discovered protected pockets at the ends of these trees, and bass have followed the baitfish.
The workers secured the trees to the shoreline with cables. Now they provide cover for shad, minnows, crappie and bream while at the same time setting the dinner table for bass.
During June the tree tops are at exactly the right place for famished post-spawn largemouths that have left shoreline beds and begun to move toward cooler, deeper water.
"In June I like to get there early enough (at daylight) to work the shorelines (for a topwater bite)," Richardson said. "They'll hit Chug Bugs, Pop-Rs or Zara Spooks and Spook Jrs. along with white or chartreuse buzzbaits until the sun gets up.
"The good thing about Randleman Lake is channels near shorelines, and a lot of laydown trees with the tops submerged in 1 to 6 feet of water over those channels."
Richardson, who created a lake map by using a four-wheeler to explore its bottom before Randleman Reservoir filled with water, knows the location of submerged structure.
"Submerged road beds in moderately-deep water, say 8 to 10 feet, that have rocks nearby, usually hold bass," he said.
Several underwater humps, deep points and steep shorelines beg to have a variety of 8-inch soft-plastic worms with pegged Texas bullet weights thrown at them.
One of the best spots is the first point to the left of the Adams Farm Access Road lake office and boat ramp. Buzzbaits, topwater poppers or pencil baits work well early, along with shallow-diving crankbaits.
One of the favorite bass haunts is a rock-covered point approximately 125 yards southeast of that spot. Bass will hit topwater lures, including Zara Spooks and buzzbaits, the first two hours of daylight in June near those rocks.
Continuing down the southeastern shoreline, anglers will see a house with white siding and a gray cinderblock foundation. A round concrete pad at water level sits near the shore with stickups in front of it.
"The water drops off really quick down to 18 feet deep in front of it," Richardson said. "It's a good place to throw a Carolina-rigged plastic worm."
The lake has several submerged roadbeds that hold bass. St. Peter's Church Road may be the best. Baitfish schools often favor roadside ditches as places to hide. When bass — and anglers — find them, the action can be serious.
Richardson likes to throw a Zoom Magnum 12-inch-long Ol' Monster Worm after trying topwater lures at those ditches.
To the northeast the Deep River channel cuts between the main shore and an island with a fish attractor buoy. That slough is a baitfish funnel. A Texas- or Carolina-rigged plastic worm is a good choice for 4- and 5-pounders, with larger fish always possible.
A similar island sits a few hundred yards north in the middle of the Deep River. It also features a rocky shoreline where bass respond to white or bone-colored Chug Bugs, Pop-Rs and Zara Spooks.
Farther north (1/3 mile) off the river channel is a tributary Richardson calls Shad Creek. It originates near Hockett Dairy Road.
"I like to have three rods — with a Carolina-rigged plastic worm, a top-water bait and a shallow-running crankbait — tied on to use in that creek," Richardson said.
If bass are crashing baitfish in the creek, he throws a shallow-running crankbait or jerkbait.
The lake's most visible shoreline marker is a radio tower on the eastern shoreline south of Shad Creek.
"It's got a wide brushy shoreline point that sticks out into the river directly in line with the tower," Richardson said. "It's a good place to work a buzzbait in and around those stickups in the morning or Carolina rigs or shallow-diving crankbaits in the mid-morning."
Anglers might find bigger smallmouth bass in certain stretches of the upper Yadkin River (below W. Kerr Scott Reservoir) or at Lake James, but for consistent action and beautiful scenery matched with possibilities of landing a 5-pound or larger bronzeback, no location can match the New River during June.
The river's level usually drops by June and the water temperature usually will be 50 degrees or higher. Smallies spawn at 50 degrees, which usually occurs from mid-May through the first few weeks of June.
By then spring rains usually will have passed through the south-to-north flow of the New River in Ashe and Alleghany counties as the river makes its way into Virginia.
That also means meager currents, pools and runs that hold hungry bronzebacks that will eat anything to recover from the spawn's rigors.
Marty Shaffner (Tri-State Angler Service, 336-957-4630 or 336-902-0044, www.tristateangler.com) has been a fishing guide for nearly 20 years. He knows the New River and its smallmouth strongholds like his own face.
"We've had some good spawns in recent years," he said. "Now smallmouths are averaging 11 inches, with plenty of 13- and 14-inchers, and we catch 15- to 17-inch fish each year.
"The most surprising thing that largemouth guys discover is a 2-pound smallmouth fights like a 4-pound largemouth. And a 4-pounder fights like an 8- or 9-pound bass.
"I think growing up and living in (river) current all the time that makes 'em strong."
June is the month when Shaffner and most New River guides begin half- or full-day float trips with pontoon boats carrying two anglers.
"You can cast ultra-light spinning rods with 6-pound-test line or use a flyrod," Shaffner said.
Anglers can choose to float continually and work virgin water — meeting other anglers is rare — or Shaffner can drop anchor to allow his clients to work good-looking water.
During June the water's cool and refreshing. The river rarely gets much wind (except when thunderstorms roll over the ridges), and anglers who forget sunscreen easily can get blistered.
"The nice thing about fishing the New River is you can drop anchor, step into the river and cast to good-looking water," Shaffner said. "Good places to cast are toward banks, as close as you can get. It's a good tactic to cast up-current and let a fly float beneath overhanging limbs into shade."
Stopping, getting out and fishing are easier from a canoe or kayak than a floating raft, but it can be done. Shaffner owns two inflatables (a 14-foot Moravia and a 16-foot Cataraft).
Anglers should take advantage of his knowledge to fish particular logs and rocks. Shaffner knows which ones are likely to hold trophy bronzebacks.
"I know where a few big fish, from 4- to 6-pounds, hide, so we usually stop and give 'em a try," he said.
During March and April he mostly hosts pontoon trips, and clients use spinning tackle and lures.
"From early June through August we have the best topwater action," he said. "Fly-rod anglers cast popping bugs and streamers."
One of his secret weapons is an earthworm-color Senko worms, dabbed with a little ProCure scent, and fished with a small split shot (or nothing at all) about 1 1/2 feet above the hook.

Writing is often an imposing task. The prospect of setting out a plot, developing realistic characters, balancing the effect of verbs and adjectives- when considered in a serious manner it is a wonder that any one takes on the challenge.
Henry James believed that all great stories begin with a "germ"- an idea that grows in the mind from a "hint," a casual idea that just happens to catch your interest. In John Gardner's book The Art of Fiction Gardner expands on James' idea.
"The writer's first idea for the story- what Henry James calls the "germ"- may not be an event but an interesting character, setting, or theme…Whatever happens in life- a curious fact one comes across in one's reading…a snatch of conversation, something from the newspapers, a fight with one's landlord- all this becomes possible material for the shaping of the plot, or for characters, setting, and theme as they may influence the plot."
Rather than waiting for these chance "hints" to come to me, after reading this I sat down and wrote a list of the things that interest me: themes, events from my past, my favorite books, special places or seasons.
Well I love rainy days, and hot coffee. I love being wrapped in a blanket while reading a favorite book. I love The Lord of the Rings and classical music. I love reading by the fire with candles on a winter's day. I love remembering that vacation to the Black Hills, the last one with my mom.
With this list I attempted to whittle down the extraneous bits. Yes, I love Jane Eyre, but why do I love it? What elements of that story stood out to me? I love a fireplace on a cold snowy day, but what specifically about it do I love? The warmth, the sense of home, the nostalgia? You will find that you do not love the named object so much as the things that come with it, the feelings, the sensations.
In this manner I came to several common factors that I recognized as key elements in my writing. These have become my Brand, the things I want to be known for. Being able to identify them in this manner helped me to guide my own writing, hone in on new "germs" of ideas and identify my sense of style.
How to use this technique to find your own inspiration:
- Create a list of your favorite things. Things to think of are: books, songs, movies, places, seasons, weather, clothes, activities, holidays, hobbies, tv shows, favorite objects, traditions, feelings, emotions, memories, stories you heard or read, friends, vacations. This list will be your list to reference for idea sparks.
- Look closely at each of these things. Don't just think of the actual thing they describe, think of what it is about that thing that speaks to you. I listed Jane Eyre as one of my favorite books. I reread it every few years and it is just something that has always stood out to me in my childhood memories. But what about that book is meaningful to me? I listed everything I loved about the book: mystery, the gothic elements, the mysticism, governess/master relationship, feminism, independence, the stormy wild weather.
- As you follow this process for each item on your list repeated elements will stand out. I noted mysticism in Jane Eyre as an element that intrigued me. I noticed that that word kept springing up. I added mysticism to a new list entitled "My Writing Elements." This list will be the one to define you and your writing.
- Using your Writing Elements list, you should be able to recognize common themes within your own writing. These are the common elements in the things you love. We find them in our homes, our music, our relationships, our reading and our writing. Understanding them will help you to make your writing unique and meaningful.
I continue to use these lists to find objects, songs, themes to use and reference throughout my stories. These things from the first list are objects that connotate the style I wish to convey in my works. Including the objects from the first list will convey the feelings and sensations from my elements list.
When stuck for ideas I pull out the first list, the favorites. I choose one item to fixate on. I consider it beyond the dry meaning of the word. Consider the connotations, the associations, the history of the word, the history of the object or quote, or song. I wrote books on my favorites list. I love just seeing books, holding books, being near them. I let my mind wander. I began to wonder what life might be like for those that do not see the beauty in a book. See the possibility, the escape. How dull that person must be. For him, reality would be stark, cut and dry. There must be little hope in that life. And as I thought this man came to life. He grew within my imagination, a cold pillar in a beautiful library, unaffected by the beauty and imagination surrounding him. Why was he there? What did he come for and what will he leave with? The plot continued on it's own.
Settle into the elements of this object and see where it takes you. When your writing seems to stray away from the intended goal, pull out these lists, see what is missing.

Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science Arthur Sinodinos has officially launched the 20th anniversary of National Science Week at the Young Australians' Plan for the Planet event at Parliament house.
National Science Week is Australia's annual celebration of science and technology. This year, over 2000 events were registered online with activities being held across Australia. These allow Australians to meet scientists, discuss hot topics, conduct their own experiments and celebrate the importance of science.
The school theme this year is Future Earth. This will focus on Australia's sustainability science and highlights issues unique to our region.
The Young Australians' Plan for the Planet is a program to promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a sustainable development plan for Australia to 2050.
The Plan was presented to Minister Sinodinos as he launched National Science Week 2017, by students and teachers of schools involved in creating it.
Minister Sinodinos said he was delighted to launch his first National Science Week.
National Science Week provides a valuable opportunity for all Australians to meet scientists, discuss hot topics, do science and celebrate its discoveries and impact on our society.
The Australian Government provided $500,000 in grants to 39 National Science Week projects this year. They include communications training for female scientists, coding workshops for young people, and educational activities relating to Indigenous science.
The week's festivities aim to inspire the next generation of Australian scientists and increase community awareness of science in our everyday lives.

The Empire Theatre Company is closing out its 2013-14 season on "American Community" with the musical The Spitfire Grill. The musical focuses on a young woman fresh out of prison who moves to the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin to make a fresh start. It's an appropriate entry in a season focusing on American communities, especially for North Dakota: those who come from the small postage stamp towns that dot the state will recognize many of the traits of Gilead's residents, both good and bad, in themselves and their experiences. When Percy Talbott (Misti Koop) gets off the bus in Gilead, greeted by the local Sheriff, Joe Sutter (Evan Montgomery), the town is set abuzz with gossip and conjecture, fueled by the town's Postmaster and resident gossip-monger Effy Krayneck (Abby Shoenborn). This insular attitude is very familiar to residents of small towns, where people want to know all about the strangers who happen into their midst, and offer politeness if not necessarily a true welcome.
The name Gilead has many associations, most notably Biblical associations, but perhaps the one that seems the most pertinent is that Gilead in Hebrew can refer to a memorial site; Percy has her own secret and her own reason to mourn, and Hannah Ferguson (Nicole Quam), the elderly owner of the Spitfire Grill where Percy ends up making a home, is haunted by her own memories from the past. Hannah has been trying to sell the Grill since her husband died 10 years ago with no luck. With a half-serious suggestion from Percy and meek housefrau Shelby Thorpe (Maura Ferguson), Hannah decides to raffle off the Grill: anyone can enter provided they write an essay about why they should be given the Grill and include a $100 entry fee. This plan vexes Hannah's nephew and Shelby's domineering husband Caleb Thorpe (Darin Kerr), a down-on-his-luck good ol' boy who serves as the primary villain for the show, or at least as much of a villain as their light-hearted, homespun concoction will allow. But when Percy discovers a mysterious visitor (Christopher Olsen) with ties to the town's deepest wound, everyone's lives are in for some unexpected changes.
There is a certain unsophisticated simplicity to the residents of Gilead that could be almost offensive to people who come from small towns if the actors didn't play them with such interesting characterizations: none falls too deeply into a stereotype and each has a certain charm in the role they fulfill in the small Wisconsin town. Koop's Percy has an urban grittiness about her that plays well against the other characters, the contrast giving them a certain cloying sweetness that sometimes smacks of a Steel Magnolias-esque southern hospitality without completely betraying its Midwestern setting. When Percy reveals her secret to Shelby, it's an uncharacteristically dark moment in the show, filled with tabloid-worthy scandalous details that further accentuate her urban origins; Hannah's secret, once revealed, is another dark spot on the sunny landscape, but it's wrapped up in a certain patriotic-family-pride-Americana that more firmly grounds it in the rural setting, rather than isolating it.
The major disappointment of this show is the music: as if to provide an auditory argument for the idea of the homogenous rural community, the songs in the show display very little variety. The music in the show sounds like it could very well be the exact same song played on a loop at slightly different tempos and with slightly different voices – which is a shame considering the tremendous voices the cast display. Another factor that adds to the sameness is the use (or rather, overuse) of repetition: there are few if any songs in the show that don't feature lines that are repeated over (and over…and over…) again. A perfectly beautiful moment was almost ruined by the fact that I couldn't stop thinking to myself, "I swear to Christ, if I hear the line 'The colors of Paradise come to you…' one more fucking time!" It's possible that the lyricist meant this repetition to symbolize the sameness of life in a small town to highlight exactly how jarring Percy's arrival is to Gilead's status quo; it could be that the repetition is meant to act like a refrain, reinforcing the simple virtues of the town's residents, almost like a comforting hymn. It could be that the songwriter was just lazy, or unimaginative. Whatever the reason, the show suffers from a lack of musical variety and the absolutely stellar voices of the cast are not given a range that would truly allow them to shine. It's not even that the music is bad; there are definitely bright spots like Percy's first day cooking at the Grill ("Out of the Frying Pan") and Caleb's lament at losing his sense of masculine pride when the quarry closed down ("Digging Stone"), and there are several ballads handled expertly by Ferguson, Koop, and Quam that are poignant without being precious, but what could be great songs become just good songs because of the similarity from number to number, and there is an overall blandness to the soundtrack as a whole that I just wasn't able to get past. But hey, I've always hated A Chorus Line, so what the fuck do I know?
What I do know is that criticism of the music aside, I had a rather delightful time at the Empire Arts Center seeing The Spitfire Grill. The voices of the cast really are wonderful, and there are moments throughout that show small town life in an interesting and authentic way. A small detail that I found especially enchanting is that Percy's real name is Perchance – like maybe. Everyone in Gilead is wrestling with their own maybe: maybe I could have (or should have) done things differently, maybe I can decide things for myself, maybe I don't have to turn my back on where I come from. Maybe someday I'll be welcomed back into their hearts. Percy's maybe is reflected in the raffle submissions that start pouring in from all over the country: Maybe I can start over. Maybe is a word that can keep us wrapped up in our regrets, but it's also a word that can represent possibility. And though the resolutions that come aren't particularly surprising, they are a definitive celebration of the hope of possibility.
The Spitfire Grill is directed by Chris Berg with music direction by David Henrickson, and runs the rest of this week through Saturday, 7:30 pm at the Empire Theatre. Tickets are $15, $12 for students.

Reviews for the The Sparkling Cruise
Albertus LourensNovember 2016
It was an awesome experience. The scenery was beautiful and it was so peaceful. It was also very exciting to explore all the little towns along the way. The boat was very cosy.
True value for money. The starter pack is also great value. You get much more than what you pay for.
AxelAugust 2016
We were allowed to stow our supplies on board several hours early, as Le Boats preparations were almost complete. This made for a very relaxing afternoon prior to picking up our charter
Relaxing cruise along a not too heavily travelled canal, with two Pont du Canals, and a double lock at Decize
DerekAugust 2016
The staff were very helpful and the boat was superb. The weather helped to make it a very peaceful and relaxing holiday with about 95% of the steering done from the top deck. We were glad of the bikes that we hired even if the gears didn't work on one of them. All in all a very well equipped boat made for a fantastic holiday, thank you Le Boat.
It was a good journey and the distance was about right for a week. I was a little disappointed there were not any open to public chateaus and few vineyards on route, but thats our our issue not Le Boats
Anita WebbAugust 2013
Finding a pub restaurant or shop open in august!!
Not to go in august and saw lots of pubs restaurant and shops shut
Joan ByramNovember 2017
All personnel we came in contact with were courteous and helpful but if they had taken us for a test drive they would have realized the steering was amiss. We are experienced boat drivers and didnt need lessons but took us 2 days of zigzagging to realize it wasnt us but steering needed hydraulic fluid. Help did come immediately to our mooring next day, however, then it was fine. We should have been FOREWARNED to buy enough food to make all meals since it was so late in season that most restaurants,etc. Were closed for tbe season. Also, our boat was advertised as sleeping 4! The double bunk was comfortable for 2 and a SMALL person could sleep on right side bow cushion. we are curious to know how 4 adults would sleep in it!
A fun experience with chance to see beautiful french countryside, villages, small chateaus, vineyards while leisurely cruising and bicycling. Enjoyed the process of helping in the locks and meeting people along the way. Glad we did it late in the season, aside from fact that many restaurants closed for the season by then.

This is a sign we are far from God, Move On !!
"The chaotic heart is uncertain, no one can fix it unless it confronts the heart to God." [Zadul Ma'ad 2/82].
Sufyan bin Uyainah -rohimahulloh- had previously said:
"The early scholars used to counsel each other with these words:[Book of Ikhlash, by Ibn Abid Dunya].
Whoever improves his inner state, Allah will improve his birth.
Whoever mends his relationship with God, Allah will improve his relationship with man.
Whoever works for the Hereafter, Allah will suffice his worldly life. "
Often we feel our state is not directed, erratic, irregular, empty, arid, etc ..
If this situation happens to us, remember that it is a sign we are far from God. The solution is very simple actually, it's just all back to us, whether or not to move on.
Get back to God, and focus on worship. If our worship is in order, God will take care of our lives and bless our time. It is highly unlikely that God will bring those who draw near to Him with sincerity and guidance.
Please share .. hopefully useful ..
(Musyaffa 'Ad Dariny MA)

Brad meets Foundation college student signing for Gills
14 May 2015|Tottenham Hotspur
Brad Friedel visited Barnet & Southgate College earlier today (Thursday, May 14) where he met with Tottenham Hotspur Foundation's Education and Football Development Centre student Emmanuel Osadebe after he signed professional forms to play for League One side Gillingham.
Whilst studying for his BTEC Level 3 in Sport which he started at Barnet & Southgate College in August 2014, the 18-year-old midfielder played four games with the Gillingham development side, leading him to secure this one-year deal with the Kent-based club.
The Education and Football Development Centre programme is one of Tottenham Hotspur Foundation's flagship projects, offering Academy-standard football coaching alongside BTEC qualifications at colleges across the Club's local community to young people aged 16-18 classified as NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training).
Opportunities exist for students to study full-time BTEC level 2 or 3 and NVQ level 2 or 3 courses with the potential to continue onto a foundation degree in Sports Development and Coaching, run by Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
Speaking shortly after announcing his retirement from the game at the end of the season, Brad said: "This is a life-changing moment for Emmanuel, really well done to him. Opportunities like this don't come around very often and I'm pleased I got the chance to meet him. The best of luck to him at Gillingham."
Speaking about signing for Gillingham, Emmanuel said: "I've been working hard since a young age so this is a dream come true. It means a lot to me and I'm very excited.
"The Foundation College programme has helped me to get to where I am today. It's a great way of combining education and doing what you love - playing football."
Below: Justin, Emmanuel and Brad
Gillingham are managed by our legendary former defender Justin Edinburgh, who played 276 times for us between 1990-2000.
He said: "With my connections at Spurs I was made aware of Emmanuel's progress and we were able to get him to train with us and see how he performed during a few development games.
"He impressed us during those fixtures and we are delighted to have signed him on a one-year deal, He will have opportunities within our development squad, certainly pushing for a place in the first team."
Tottenham Hotspur Foundation runs centres in partnership with Barnet & Southgate College, St Thomas Moore Catholic School, Epping Forest College, Harrow College, Waltham Forest College, Haringey Sixth Form Centre and Turnford School.
Since the programme launched in 2010, more than 870 young people have been given the opportunity to study a full-time BTEC level 2 or 3 and NVQ level 2 or 3 courses.

Over 60 Years of Worship - By The Sea!
Norah Atkins, a winter resident of Clearwater Beach from Canada, had long thought the children who lived on the beach should be offered religious education. So in 1949 she decided that she would work with other residents to start a church. With the help of neighbors and friends, as well as the Clearwater Beach Association, the Jaycees, and several local businesses and congregations, she organized the Clearwater Beach Community Church, soon to be known as Chapel-By-The-Sea. At the inaugural worship service, 120 people attended. A committee was formed, plans were developed, and, through the generosity of the Skinner family, land was donated on which a building could be constructed. The Chapel was designed to be, and became, an interfaith community church in every sense of the term – a church of the community and for the community.
The Chapel-By-The-Sea is non-denominational, but belongs to the International Council of Community Churches and the Florida Fellowship of Community Churches. It was instrumental in founding Religious Community Services, an agency consisting of over 80 Christian and Jewish congregations, which provides food, clothing and shelter for those in need through its Food Bank, spouse abuse shelter, and two transitional housing programs. At the Chapel there has always been a heavy emphasis on outreach, and it is one of the major supporters of RCS. It also belongs to the Clearwater Beach Chamber of Commerce and its members are active in many local charities and civic organizations.
As a community church, the Chapel provides services for all beach residents and visitors. It is progressive in its theology and places a heavy emphasis on freedom of thought and belief as it encourages its members and friends to search and question. Its congregants come from many different religious backgrounds, or no religious background, and the strengths of the various traditions come together as personal growth is sought for and by all who participate in its programming. The Chapel-By-The-Sea believes in enriched living, inspired learning, and expanded loving…and invites all who are interested to join it on its journey.
The first service was held on March 6, 1949 at the Jaycees building. The charter and bylaws were signed the next month. The land was donated, fundraising began, and on February 10, 1952, 400 people attended the first worship service at Clearwater Beach Community Church Chapel-by-The-Sea, 54 Bay Esplanade, Clearwater Beach, FL.

DentiStar definitely stands up to its promise, Simply Superior Dentistry! I went in for a annual check-up and was very impressed with its new technology and equipment. New office is clean, location is great, staff is friendly and best of all Dr. Shin knows what he's doing! After my initial check-up I went in for a filling and as expected, Dr. Shin was flawless. Also after all the great services that I received, I was able to convince my Mother (shes the type to wait until she can't bare the pain anymore) to go in for a checkup/cleaning. She was impressed with Dr. Shin's services/skills that after she was done, she started recommending to her friends of DentiStar. I highly recommend DentiStar to anyone who's had a bad experience at a dentist, Dr. Shin will make you feel welcome and do whats best for you!

I enjoyed meeting and having Richard prepare my taxes. He showed up on time, conscientious and takes an interest with his clients and their families. He is pleasant to be with and makes the whole tax process understandable and bearable. I would recommend him to others for their tax needs. He is knowledgeable with his years of experience and background in business.
Skidmore Business Solutions was engaged as a strategic business consultant for our start-up e-commerce company. With Bob Skidmore's extensive experience in distribution, marketing and customer development, he provided us with the insight and networking we needed to effectively build out our online business model. He also made numerous introductions to key product and service vendors in our industry that were extremely valuable. Bob exceeded all of our expectations and I would recommend him for any engagement that he is being considered for.
Nice man, I like to support small business owners.
Mr. Cobb-Phillips has an excellent background in Corporate, non profit and small business budgeting, taxation and audits. His breadth of knowledge and ability to organize complex systems and problem solve make him my number 1 choice as my account manager.
I had a great time working along-side DeeAnn! She took the time to understand each of her client's requests, and would then cater to those specific needs. The partnership between agency and client encouraged communication and transparency when embarking on a range of projects. I would highly recommend working with DeeAnn! She understands the business and will do anything to showcase a company's business/product in an authentic light.
Adrienne and her team were able to listen to what my needs were and execute accordingly. I needed someone to really take interest in what I do, and be my voice. I needed someone to custom create content that was going to be of interest to my client demographic on Facebook,Twitter, and Instagram, and blog. I also wanted to engage and expose my brand to people that were unfamiliar with my line; to generate new business. Adrienne really took the time to understand my needs, and over delivered with her efforts. If you are looking for someone who is an expert at social media you have met your match!
Kamal Verma has been our tax accountant since 2005. We always recommend her company to our friends, family and associates. Her fees are reasonable and she always does her best to save us money. We own a small internet retail business and have been struggling with a very low profit margin, especially since the economic downturn in 2008. Recently, with escalating energy prices, our product costs sky-rocketed by over 25%. Kamal, as a valued consultant, diligently strives to help us through these hard times, by suggesting strategies and making certain we are monitoring our cash flow correctly. In short, Kamal has essentially become a valued "business partner" and a dear friend.
MG Business services offers my business excellent work quality and professionalism at all time. they always have an answer for my questions and very responsive with their email response. thank you MG business services and keep up the good work :)
I've worked with Raymond and his team for 2 years now, and I can vouch for his professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction. I have a small construction company, and Raymond helped to incorporate my business, saving me tons in taxes,. He continues to help by balancing my books every month and sending me updated reports so that I know how my business is progressing. He has also been great at advising me and providing me with a better understanding of my business. Great person to work with and highly recommend!
Mr. Finkelstein was very professional. Our taxes were a mess and he cleaned it all up. He was thorough, accurate and attentive to detail. Years ago, we had filed our taxes with other popular tax preparers over and over again, and never received any refunds that we were supposed to get. Well, Patrick got us the refunds we were entitled to and supposed to receive. We can't say enough about Patrick, he is outstanding, smart, well organized and had a warm and professional demeanor. We highly recommend him and will use him again. Thank you Patrick!
Emil Estafanous is second to none. I don't know what I would have done without him. My "tax mess" involved nothing but problems that had gone on for years. Mr. Estafanous knew exactly what to do and handled my situation perfectly. The man is a professional with many years experience. Don't bother with other "tax consultants". Simply make an appointment with Mr. Estafanous and explain what the problem is, and he will take care of it. No more headaches.
Great SMM Consultant! Awesome advice for FB growth and even updated my site. Thank you for your help!
My experience working with Business Catalytic Consulting has been great. They have helped me in all aspects of my business. I have instantly seen the increase in income since applying the skills they have taught me. Along with the confidence I was lacking.
With Jim's help I learned how to run my business instead of my business running me. Jim has been my business consultant for the past four years, during this time I saw my income increase each year, with Jim's help my business has more than doubled. I now have up to date & correct P&L's, Standard Operating Procedures, Points of Sale. These were all terms I knew nothing about before Jim. Jim takes the time to know your business inside and out, so that his guidance is point on to move your business forward.
CJ handled business. His quick response to my request was amazing. He was able to meet me that day and have a resume put together for me by the next day. I am greatful of his services and will be using him again as well as making referals. Thanks CJ!
Thank you, Mira, for our amazing session this afternoon! Going into our call I was super excited, during our call I had a sense of calm take over. It was good having someone to talk to and help me figure stuff out via guidance and conversation. Now, after we have spoken I have my goals and need to get to work! If you're on the fence about which coach to choose, work with Mira! You'll leave your first call MOTIVATED + READY to move forward in your life… totally worth the investment! Not to mention she's super easy to talk to. It was like I was talking to a long time friend.
I am in the process of building a tech startup from the ground up, and have been consulting with Choon about all aspects of the project. His depth and breadth of knowledge, his professional and organised approach and his consistently excellent advice have been invaluable to my success.
Working with Nathan has been a great experience. He's a business owner himself and shares what he looks for when he's interviewing people for his own business. It's priceless information. What I like about Nathan is that he teaches you how to read and interpret a job description so you can tailor your resume for that job. Instead of just writing the resume himself he gives you the tools you need to write it yourself. That way you can change your resume when needed and helps you become more independent. He's responsive and encouraging. I really enjoy working with Nathan!
Don was meticulous in his pre-workshop research. He customized his training to our Team's specific improvement areas. He was very personable and entertaining to keep everyone's attention, and my Team has delivered significant growth numbers ever since.
Rand was exceptionally helpful with my son's college application procedure and ultimate school selection. His expertise and guidance made my son's college search experience much less daunting than it could have been. Rand's approach is all encompassing. He is well versed in the entire process, utilizing lots of college app resources, his terrific writing skills and his funny, warm personality. During his junior year, my son (Scott) and Rand worked closely together to develop an entire strategy which included test prep, application paperwork, and a compelling personal story that would be relevant to each of his college choices. Rand's style also helped to increase Scott's confidence, allowing him to understand that he would be fine at any of the schools he chose. This helped make my life easier as well - that first senior semester is extra stressful for everyone (Scott ultimately was accepted at his first choice, but he really believed any of his choices would have been great too). I would highly recommend Rand, and believe his help could benefit other college bound juniors and seniors.
Jessica is a consummate professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The experience was excellent. I highly recommend HRF for all small business HR services.

First rat snake
So I got my first rat snake yesterday, a yellow rat snake to be exact! There's no reason in particular for me writing this post exactly, I've just thought that I'd share! I was actually quite surprised at how fast they move! I have had heavily bodied snakes that don't move all that fast, but this little guy is a runner!
I'm going to give him a good week or two to calm down a little more but in general he's not as bitey as I expected.

The mobile algorithm update we've all been expecting (and those unprepared have been fearing) is finally upon us. We take a look at why Google have decided to implement this change, what it entails, how you risk being penalised, how to prepare, monitor and avoid issues, what the potential positive outcomes could be and finally, how to make your site mobile-friendly.
Mobile-Friendly Sites To Rank Better In Search
Google have announced that on April 21st 2015, mobile ranking factors will come into play. For some, this update may seem daunting and we've even heard the terms 'Mobocalypse' or 'Mobilegeddon' thrown around. However, it's not all doom and gloom and if you prepare correctly this can actually be a very positive step forward - your site will not only be labelled as 'mobile-friendly', but could also help you rank higher.
So What Does This Update Entail?
We've heard grumblings that this change will have more of an impact than Penguin or Panda! Fundamentally, we believe this algorithm is designed to give a boost to mobile-friendly pages in both desktop and mobile search results. This means that mobile devices will no longer display the most popular, organic results; instead, the most popular 'mobile-friendly' sites will rank higher.
One interesting point to note is that it won't judge your site as a whole, but it will analyse each page of your site on an individual basis. This means you don't have to optimise your whole site for mobile, you have to focus on the pages you want to rank (although we suggest the whole site should be fully optimised as most mobile-friendly sites are).
We've also learnt that Google news, images and videos are unlikely to be affected by the changes; however, adwords quality scores can be affected. So if your site is not mobile-friendly you may get a lower quality score and have to pay a higher CPC (cost-per-click) or appear lower down in the results; even for desktop searches.
What is a Mobile-Friendly Site?
Put simply, a mobile-friendly site is any website that offers a good user experience on a smartphone or tablet. The user experience on a mobile phone is determined by the way it displays on the device, how it navigates and how long the load times are.
When Do I Have To Optimise My Site?
The official date is April 21st and Google have stated that it will take about a week to fully role out. Importantly this algorithm runs in real time, so you could theoretically make your site mobile-friendly on the day and not be penalised.
What Are The Consequences of Not Making Your Site Mobile-Friendly?
For most of us, a decent mobile UX is and has been mandatory for a while now. This is not only because we predicted such an update, but due to the ever growing importance of mobile technology, and in particular mobile search. Gone are the days when mobile would just trickle through a few conversions or sales; now it can be as important, if not more important than desktop.
If you don't have a mobile-friendly site by the time this algorithm change is fully implemented the following a very real possibilities:
- Miss the chance to improve your mobile ranking
- Your site could actually fall lower down in the rankings
- Loss of mobile traffic
- Lower conversion rate (this is ever present and could affect you regardless of the update)
- Higher bounce rates
Will Small Businesses & Startups Be Affected By The Mobile-Friendly Update?
The answer to this question all depends on the amount of traffic a business gets via mobile. If it's a lot, then it is crucial you optimise; if not, then is there an opportunity to gain more traffic?
We have mentioned that Google will not be judging the whole site on its own. This being the case you should look at what pages your users are 'landing' on. Is your traffic entering on the homepage or a specific page, perhaps it's a location specific page. If it is location specific and you do not have a mobile-friendly site, you could lose out on traffic as other mobile optimised pages may rank above you (despite not being as specific to that location).
Why Are Google Releasing A Mobile-Friendly Update?
There are two main reasons why Google are updating their mobile algorithm.
Firstly, it benefits Google's mobile phone business. Google are definitely driving the smart phone revolution. They are the world's largest mobile operating system provider with their Android platform. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, they do in fact have the biggest app store (not apple).
The other main reason is that primarily, they want to be the best search engine they can be. Surfacing mobile-friendly sites on a mobile or tablet makes sense. It improves the users experience and should in theory give them better results. Plus, if it forces more sites to conform and make their site mobile friendly, users will have better experiences when surfing.
Companies That Do Mobile Optimisation Well:
Kaptur is the very latest property information and report management technology. By nature the product utilises tablet technology so it would make sense for the site to be mobile optimised.
Isuperdrive is the European luxury and supercar rental service, operating in London, UK and Europe. They made sure they were mobile-friendly early on as they realised the importance. For them the whole site was important, not just the homepage; often customers would enter the site going straight to a car page such as the Lamborghini Aventador car page.
And of course we couldn't not mention www.netleadz.co.uk – we made sure our site was fully responsive and mobile optimised a while back.
How To Test If Your Site Is Mobile-Friendly
You may be wondering if your site is mobile-friendly and many of you may have no idea at all. Well there are ways to test. A basic way to approach it is to see whether there is a 'Mobile-Friendly' label visible in the search results on a mobile phone. This however, does not tell the full story and may not address the whole of your site.
We would suggest a bit more of an in depth test in order to evaluate your site. One of the best ways to do this is to use Google's Mobile-Friendly Test tool. This is something we have been busy checking for our clients behind the scenes (we like to be on the ball and offer added value to our standard services).
Even if you think your site is optimised for mobile, run the checks and ensure specific elements such as images, CSS and Java script are crawlable.
How Do I Make My Site Mobile-Friendly
If you have tested your site and found it fails, you should look to make amends or improvements immediately.
Here's what you could do:
- Firstly, (and maybe somewhat obviously) make your site mobile-friendly.
- If possible, make it responsive – This utilises the same code on the same URL and renders the display for the appropriate device (Responsive design is Google's recommended choice).
- If you're using a CMS such as wordpress see if you can update your theme or update the software. If you're using a custom built website, this may be a bit trickier and probably would require some development work.
- Either way, make sure you have a backup of your site before you begin any work.
- Deep dive into Google Webmaster and locate specific issues and suggested routes to fix them. In particular, look at the crawl errors report and select 'Smartphone' to see if there are any problems:
- Is it accessing the right version, or is it being redirected to a non-relevant page?
- Is the content accessible?
- Are the relevant SEO elements, such as the title and meta description of each page being discovered?
- Are the site pages set up correctly (including the relevant annotations, http status, user agent detection, etc.) based on your chosen mobile site configuration?
- Make sure you monitor your traffic meticulously and keep an eye out for any changes.
We understand that some of this becomes pretty advanced and if you aren't experienced can be terribly daunting. If you need us to check your site to see if it is mobile-friendly, or would like us to resolve any issues then feel free to give us a shout or just visit the Netleadz contact page.

The Smit Muara (Smit Lloyd) is a dive supply tug which sunk in nearly 50 meters of water in the end of the last century. She is sitting upright, and although now draped in some fishing nets is a great wreck to explore. Visited by many large fish like Barracuda, and schools of Batfish it's a great wreck.

We've made a pdf of our 2013 book which you can download here as well as ebook versions - Kindle (alternate Kindle) and epub. Just remember - don't read ahead!
There is a daily blog posting of the devotions, just follow this link
Here is the introduction from the 2013 book:
Once again, it's been my honor and privilege to edit this book, and as always, it's been a real Joy to me. As usual, we cut it very close in getting the devotions in – as usual, much closer than I would really prefer!
One thing that was different this year as I waited for more submissions to trickle in, was that I couldn't count on my go-to devotion guy, Ron Draper, for a couple extra devotions. Well, that's not exactly right, I got his permission to pull out some old favorites to help fill in the empty days.
You'll see a request for continued prayers for JeriLynn at the end of his devotion on February 19, and the whole idea of God's presence with each of us was a thread that wove through many of this year's devotions – and also of the hymns you'll find here each Sunday.
We have much to treasure and celebrate in the pages of this little book; it's hard to believe that just fifty or sixty pages can contain so many thoughts and emotions and experiences. I don't know how it works, I just know that it does.
Just as we have each year since reviving this Lenten tradition, we repeat the introduction from our congregation's first book of devotions of well over thirty years ago:
Keeping a true Lent requires us to be vigilant in many ways: in prayer, study, worship, sacrifice, giving, meditation, and fellowship.
One or all may take precedence, depending upon our daily commitments. From these devotions, lovingly prepared, may you find a well spring of faith to renew and sustain you, so that the Glorious Triumph that is Easter will remain with you always.
The Lenten Committee
Again, we can but say, "Amen."

This post comes from Senior Producer Mindy, who edits podcasts and troubleshoots technology.
Most of the posts you'll find on the Winning Edits blog focus on writing, publishing, and editorial strategy, but this one is a little bit different. In addition to producing and editing content, one of my jobs at Winning Edits is Content Administrator, which is a fancy way of saying that I make sure everything published on our clients' websites looks right.
Recently I had the opportunity to solve a confounding problem with a podcast—and because massive amounts of Google searches didn't turn up a viable solution, I wanted to record the fix here in case you ever encounter this with your own podcast.
Hey iTunes, Where'd My Timestamp Go?
When you publish a new podcast episode in your feed, iTunes pulls a variety of information—often called "tags"—from the MP3's metadata. One of those tags is duration, which tells iTunes how long the podcast is.
For a reason that we could not uncover, the duration tag suddenly stopped populating in our client's podcast RSS feed, which means iTunes looked like this:
A missing timestamp is annoying for your listeners—a lot of podcast listeners choose episodes that will last the length of their commute, their workout, their bath, etc. Here's how we fixed this problem.
Adding a Duration Tag Manually with PowerPress
This podcast's feed is set up using the Blubrry PowerPress plugin, which is a popular WordPress plugin that allows the podcaster to set up a custom podcast feed through their website. PowerPress is designed to manually detect the episode duration, but you can override that.
First, open up your podcast's post, and then scroll down to PowerPress's Podcast Episode box. If you've already published your post, check the box next to Modify existing podcast episode to expand the box.
It's easy to overlook, but in the Podcast Episode box, there's a section called Duration. Enter your file's audio length (in hours, minutes, and seconds) in the specified section.
Finding this information is easy on a Mac; look in your Finder window. Set your Finder view to Columns (image below, blue circle), and duration will be displayed when you click on your MP3.
If you aren't a Mac user or you don't see the duration listed in Finder, open your MP3 in a podcast player like Quicktime or iTunes or Windows Media Player. MP3 file length is always displayed in these players.
After you enter the file information into the PowerPress Podcast Episode box, be sure to update your post.
A note for non-PowerPress users: You're much less likely to run into this problem if you use your feed directly from your podcast provider (like Buzzsprout or Libsyn). If you do use your feed directly and you find your duration tag empty, reach out to their customer support for help.
Happy podcasting!
