I have never kept a log on
the bas.s that I have caught
down through the years, but I
certainly remember the condi
tions and circumstances under
which the large bass were
caught.
A log can be a good thing to
have and keep; a record
describing the weather condi
tions, the type of lure used,
whether the water was dinger
or clear, and the type of
structure where the fish w'ere
found. To have accumulated
and studied such information
would certainly improve one’s
knowledge of the Tifmy arts,.
Practically ail of the large
bass that I have caught were
taken from the same body of
water; weighing from six to
eleven pounds.
I have caught many bass
ranging from one to five
pounds, most of which I
released as a practice of
conservation. I fish known
productive spots each year.
You see, when one bass moves
out or is taken from a hole
another bass moves in.
Bass look for better cover
and feeding grounds, so 1 hit
all of the spots that paid off
the previous year. Usually the
bass get bigger each year that
occupy the old bedding areas.
When you fish the same
waters year after year the lake
seems to grow on you. Why, I
can remember when a stand of
lillics got started a few years
back, when a red maple
growing on a point was merely
a switch, and when a point
was a simple sand bar. That is
how familiar 1 become with the
waiters that I fish.
Remenrber that you can
return from time to time to
spots that you have caught
fish and find them still
productive. Crappie fishing
especially proves this point.
On the northeast leg of
Salem Lake is one spot located
JOSH BILLINGS Sax
Call a man a ihief, and yu license him
lew steal, jq
at the northeast piling of
Southern Railroad bridge.
a fall afternoon, no more tha
an hour-and-a-half before
lake closed, I pulled up
forty feet of the piling and
a Hula Popper to tb ’
shoreline. 1 retrieved the plJ t
tc the inside of the piling. 1 |j'
is lay there without a twite
for about 30 seconds. Before t
could raise the tip of my rq
there was a swell under th
plug and it disappeared,
cranked twice and the bas
was on, it had hung itse
when the line was taken u[
Still I want through the motio
of setting the hook.
That bass headed for th
weed bed and believe it or n(
the boat was being pulled i' I"
that direction, what with th*
pressure that I had on th|^
bass.
I held my rod high an
sculled the boat into oj:
water. As the bass came neai
the boat I could see that it wi
propelling itself floundj
fashion.
I could have lost that fisj
but I had the drag set ju^
right for a stiff rod. Howeverr
still suffered a straine^
forearm muscle.
Short rods do not hav
enough flexability for playin®
large fish. The bass weighej^
in at five and three quarter^
pounds.
In the next article 1 woul'^
like to tell you of
experience with tw'o smaC!
bass that all but made a fooltti
me. There is more to fishiii
than filling the larder, try
