PAGE 6 — WEST CRAVEN HIGHLIGHTS - JANUARY 28. 1989 Bassin* with the pros Spinnerbaits have long been the favorite lure of springtime bass flshermen, but now the lure is gaining some respect in winter, too. In fact, says professional tournament pro and guide Ran dy Dearman of Livingston, Texas, spinnerbaits are probably easier to flsh than other popular winter lures because they have their own action. "My choice for cold water nshing,” says the popular John son Outboards Pro Staff mem ber, "is a one-ounce spinnerbait with a single Size 8 blade. “It’s big and heavy, but all you have to do is cast, let it fall to the bottom, pump it back up, then wait for the strike." There's a little more to it, but not much. Dearman suggests using a lon ger rod, such as a 7'A-foot flip ping rod like he uses. When the lure is pumped up off the bottom — simply by raising the rod tip— the spinnerbait jumps four or five feet. "It’s almost like jigging a spoon,” says Dearman, "except that you can feel the big blade thumping each time it turns. Just pump the lure up and down off the bottom and when the thump ing stops, set the hook.” Dearman says cover isn’t as im portant in the colder winter as it is at other times of the year. He fishes right in the middle of creek channels and sloughs, along sharp-falling bluffs, and even be side deep stumps or standing timber. “The fish are usually on the bottom or suspended just slight ly above it,” explains the John son pro. "It's difficult to spot them with a depthfinder, which is one reason a big spinnerbait is such a good lure choice. “You can cover a lot of water in a short period of time, even though you’re still fishing slow. “Don’t fish the edges or the sides of the channels the way you would at other times of the year,” he emphasizes. “Fish right down in the middle, just working your way down the charmel. “When you’re fishing bluffs. make your casts parallel to the rocks, not straight at them. The spinnerbait will fall and you can pump it back right along the edge. Look for slides of crum bled rock, or for cracks that break up the smooth wall, and concentrate around these." When he’s fishing flooded tim ber or stumps, as he does at Lake Livingston, Dearman lets his big spinnerbait fall right beside the trees, actually bumping the limbs on the way down. “Sometimes I will add a pork trailer to the lure," he notes, “but only when I want the lure to fall slower. That is usually in ex tremely cold water when I know the fish are not going to be very active.” The heavy weight of the spin nerbait is necessary to insure the proper action of the lure. Dear- man explains. With lighter lures the large blade tends to make the spinnerbait roll over. With the full one-ounce body, the spinner bait windmills down like a dying helicopter, producing that dead ly thumping vibration. Disorders Of The Fingernail Often Difficult To Diagnose By DR. TOBY ALUCOOD The most common problems affecting the fingernails are psor iasis, infections, and traumatic changes. Unfortunately, the changes from these different conditions look very similar. This often causes difficulty in making an accurate diagnosis. Psoriasis of the nails is one of the most resistant problems to treat. Thickening of the nail, pit ting of the nail surface, and brown discoloration are typical psoriatic changes. Any number of nails may be affected and the course is unpredictable. Strong steroid creams are the main ther apy but usually will not com pletely clear the problem. Three different infections com monly affect the nails: Yeast, Fungal, and Bacterial. Fungal in fections are more frequent in the toe nails but can affect the finger nails. Thickening of the nail plate and crumbling of the nail edge are signs of a fungal infection. The only cure is a prolonged course of Internal medicine (GRISEOFULVIN) for 6 - 9 months. Yeast infections cause redness and swelling of the nail fold and green discoloration of the nail plate. The nail folds are only mildly tender In most cases. Pro longed exposure to moisture (rubber gloves) increases the tendency for yeast infection. Re peatedly pushing back the cuti cle also makes yeast infections more likely. A 6 week course of topical anti-yeast solution usual ly will cure this type of infection. Bacterial Infections cause marked redness and swelling and severe pain of the nail fold. Frequently an abcess will de velop under the nail margin. Sur gical drainage of the abcess and oral antibiotics are curative. Trauma of the nails can pro duce a variety of changes. Brown-black discoloration of the nail plate usually is a sign of pre vious injury. A malignancy oHhe nail can cause similar discolora tion and must be excluded. Chronic pressure from tight shoes causes thickening and crumbling of the nail plate. This can look exactly like a ftmgal in fection. If the pressure is elimin ated the problem will correct it self. ASCS Notes People 55 And Older Get Job-Hunting Help Producers who wish to enroll in the 1989 Wheat and Feed Grain programs under the special 1989 soybean and sunflower provi sion have until Feb. 3 to do so. The provision allows a produc er to enroll in the Wheat and Feed Grain programs with the option of planting between 10 and 25 percent of his permitted acreage in soybeans or sunflowers while protecting his base in the prog ram commodity. The producer who enrolls under this provision, however, will only get base credit, no de ficiency payment will be avail able for this 10 to 25 percent. De ficiency payments will only be for wheat or grain actually planted under the program. No soybeans are allowed on ACR (set-aside land). The Feb. 3 deadline applies only to enrollment under the soy bean and sunflower provision. The signup for the regular Wheat and Feed Grain programs — in cluding the 0/92 provision — is April 14. Producers are also reminded that before they can receive an advance payment, they must complete forms for the Agri cultural Stabilization and Con servation Service certifying com pliance with erodible land and wetland regulations.

West Craven Girls Win Victory Over Conley Brings Tie For Conference Lead Ridging of a nail is usually a sign of chronic trauma. Many pa tients unconciously press or push on a particular nail. Such habits are difficult to break. Splitting of the nails usually is the result of nail polish remover or repeated injury from soapy water, yard work, solvents, etc. The adhesive used for artifieial nails is also damaging. Nail polish does strenghthen the nails. Using a heavy moistur izer on the nails at bedtime is also helpful. Unfortunately, calcium tablets and gelatin do nothing to streng then the nails. Most nail problems can be cor rected if diagnosed and treated early.
