well young lady says Bert Walker.
who has done considerable nibbling him
self, It notice you are getting ready to
take a little fishing trip over to Lake
Matrimony. Been getting your tackle
ready for some time. Don't forget the
bait and take lots of It. There are sew
eral different kinds of fish in that old
pond and you will need several different
kinds of bait. Don't get discouraged if
you don't get bite the first hour. Some
people have sat on the banks there for
twenty years without nibble. II they
would pull up their lines they would
find the bait all off their hooks. II you
keep your head and don't get ratified
you can pretty near tell what kind of a
fish you have by the way he bites. Go
a little slow until you get him to the
edge of the water. Then If you find you
have a crawf1sh or a turtle you can drop
him back. Sometimes q crawflsh will
nfbbie around and unless you watch
pretty close will make you think he is ii
black bass The number of bites you
have is no indication OF the quality of
Ash you are going to land. While you
shouldn't get too anxious to land your
fish. neither should you wait so long
that you run out Of bait. Bait your
hook with common sense, smiles ana
good cooking and you will land a black
bass that win pay you to take home.
Bait with gaudy ribbons, lazinsss and
tickle ideas and you will land a craw-
fish. After you have caught your fish
you want to throw away your tackle
and bait and take good care of what
YOU have landed If you have exer-
cised good judgment in it you viii have
Providence permitting, enough fish to
do you the remainder of your days"
