GOLFING AT GRANDFATHER—A sparkling white frost covers the fairway and No. 6 tee at
Grandfather Golf and Country Club at Linville, N.C., where the brilliant fall coloring for the
balance of October will be a distraction to golfers trying to keep their eyes on the ball. The full
18 holes in the shadow of 6,000-foot Grandfather Mountain are now open to play. The front
nine holes were opened in June.—Photo by Hugh Morton.
Outdoors In Carolina
csvme-ij a k e Nor
roan boasts a unique brand of
fishing this time of year. There
probably is nothin like it else
where in North Carolina.
In the fall, this lake’s large
mouth bass come together in
schools and forage on surface
riffling shad which can be seen
by the millions on a calm day.
Popular lures for these
schooling bass are the Little
Cleo spoon, the Little Suzy (a
small deep-running plug), and
the Bayou Buggie, among the
sub-surface foolers, and the
Crazy Shad and Devil’s Horse
among the top-water lures.
Probably any noisy surface will
be effective, and the Hopkins
1/2S looks made -to-order for
fish feeding on tiny shad.
The important thing is that the
lure be sufficiently weighty or
streamlined, or both, to cast a
good distance. It’s hard to tell
where these bass will chase the
hapless bait to the surface.
The farther you can cast, up to
a point, the better the chances of
getting a lure into the thrashing
fish. With monofilament it is
sometimes difficult to set the
hooks, because of line stretch,
beyond 50 feet.
With braided line and a con
ventional casting reel, you may
not be able to flip the small lures
as far as you would like. Of
course, rod stiffness and the
size and sharpness of the hooks
may influence your ability to
hook the fish.
As a general rule,monofil
ament line of over 10-pound test
is not necessary in open water.
However, large fish in the
stumps may require higher test
line. About 10-pound test braid
ed line is right for this kind
of fishing.
