Austin anglers make national news

At least a half dozen police officers face disciplinary action because, though posted to the power plant on "Homeland Security" duty, they spent time fishing (evidently successfully, it's intimated). It must have been pretty good, because one of the allegations is that security guards were told by the police to admit off-duty cops and their friends. Somebody snitched, and the guess is that it was a miffed security guard. In fact, some of the stories indicate that at least one cop was spotted at least once cleaning fish while in uniform. I bet there's not a cop in town who hasn't had to answer the question "caught any lately?." Our local humorist used the tag line, "One if by land, two if by Evinrude." The Austin Police Association site appears to be an active one, but does not seem at this time to be focusing on fishing.
