FISHING REPORT
Snook biting on Gulf coast By Steve Waters SUN SENTINEL
Not all snook fishing is tough on Florida’s Gulf coast, where the season has been closed since January because of last winter’s cold spell that killed thousands of fish. Jeff Bitner and his son Evan, 13, of Davie, fished in Charlotte Harbor Friday morning with Capt. Gino Bioni, of Plantation. They were unable to locate any mullet when Evan saw some seagulls diving. They ran over and found a large school of pilchards and Evan cast-netted about 50. From there they went to a railroad trestle where the snook were actively feeding. “We were just throwing pilchards underneath there and as soon as they got down, we’d have a snook on,” Bitner said. “We caught and released 30 in about two-and-ahalf hours. Sizes ranged from 6-14 pounds. “At one point we had a tripleheader and landed all three. What a great day.” CHELSEA MATIASH/SUN SENTINEL
’Canes running back Mike James rushed for 51 yards on a season-high 10 carries Saturday vs. Maryland.

BACKS EAGER TO CARRY LOAD ’Canes racked up season-high 49 carries vs. Terps By Steve Gorten SUN SENTINEL
CORAL GABLES — The objective was clear after Maryland linebacker Alex Wujciak intercepted Stephen Morris’ pass and rumbled 60 yards for a touchdown. The pick had the potential to cause the true freshman’s confidence to plummet. But it wouldn’t because the ball, and pressure, was handed off. When Miami’s offense came back on the field trailing 14-6 in the second quarter, senior Graig Cooper ran the ball the first four plays. Mike James took over from
there with four carries on the final six plays of the 10-play, 80-yard drive. James scored on a 2-yard touchdown, stretching the ball across the goal line as three Terrapins took him down. The Hurricanes finished with a season-high 49 carries, for 218 yards, in the 26-20 win Saturday. “The run game I thought was tremendous,” Coach Randy Shannon said. “There were big plays by Lamar Miller, Mike James and Cooper. They did a phenomenal job of running the football, and with the offensive line blocking, it really made a huge difference in the game.” The ’Canes did it without leading rusher Damien Berry, who was held out because of an undisclosed “lower extremity” injury,

successful for us.” The ’Canes have racked up 42 or more carries in each of their four ACC wins. They had 29 at Virginia and 36 vs. Florida State in their two conference losses. “Anytime you get running backs getting 8, 9 yards, you keep pounding the football because if they’re getting those yards you’re doing something good on offense,” Shannon said. “Eventually one of those 8 or 9 [yard] runs may pop for a 30- or 40-yard run and then you get your big touchdown.” Miami’s longest run of the game turned out to be a 22-yard gain by Miller two plays before Wujciak’s return for a touchdown. “I was just trying to get first downs, trying to keep the chains moving,’’ said Miller, who got tips from former UM running back Frank Gore at practice Thursday. “Coach told me on the sidelines not to try to make a home run, just take what they give me.” On Saturday, that would be plenty enough.

LOCAL DOCTORS RESTORE MEN’S SEX LIFE
Fort Lauderdale Doctors Treat Erectile Dysfunction BY RYAN BURNS MEN’S HEALTH CONSULTANT
FORT LAUDERDALE • A team of local physicians are part of a new medical clinic that opened recently in Fort Lauderdale, specializing in only one unique, niche area – men’s sexual health. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation have long been a problem for millions of men nationwide. In spite of recent medications such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, many men either are not helped by these medications or cannot take them due to medical conditions and adverse side effects. Memorial Care Center employs several local physicians including Dr. Leonard Harmon O.S. “We can successfully help almost every patient we see,” according to Dr. Harmon, “including men from as young as twenty-one to as old as ninety-two. We can help men with diabetes, heart conditions, by-pass, high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, and diabetes. Regardless of age or medical condition, our results everyday are amazing.” All medications are FDA approved, and no surgery is involved. “We adjust the prescription for a man’s performance to 45 minutes, an hour, 90-minutes or longer,” according to Dr. Harmon, “and patients see results right in our office. Even after climax the patient stays erect so they can climax again and satisfy their partner. No other medication can do this. We offer a simple guarantee: if you don’t respond to the medication on the first visit it’s free.” With that guarantee, local patients have nothing to lose. Patients are assured of utmost privacy and professionalism with private waiting rooms and all-male staff. Further information is available by calling (954) 564-1335.
