POOLING BLACK BASS.
Decoys the Carney Fish by Means Of a
Bob Of Phosphorus.

For catching bass at dusk the following
plan is sometimes tried in the upper part
OF the state. The fishermen anchors in
comparatively deep water outside the
lily pads. He rigs an extra rod and at
taches a ninefoot leader to the end Of
the line. At the end of the leader he
ties heavy sinker. and about five feet
above the sinker large bob or piece Of
cork, which has previously received n
heavy coat Of phosphorus.
Without hook or bait he casts this line
well in towards the pads the line being
held in place at the surface by a second
cork
The line is reeled out, and the rod laid
on the side of the boat. Then selecting
a lively minnow he bats his casting rol
and drops the minnow within a foot or
two Of the other line. He then lights his
pipe and awaits developments. From
time to time as the minnow swims away
from the lure a new cast is made.
The explanation of the success of this
plan Of catching bass is that the fish are
attracted by the phosphorescent bob and
in swimming around it finds the bait.
The plan has proved successful when
small frogs or crawfish were used instead
of mnnows.
An inventive genius, who first saw the
lure in use at Upper St. Regis Lake. sent
to New York for battery, waterproof
wire and ground glass electric light bulbs.
For some reason the elaborate apparatus
was not a success.
Those who made the experiment say
the lure is equally effective when used in
trolling. For this purpose the lure Is
made of cork CT light pine. 1t is attached
to the line about ten feet in front Of the
hooks.
