Wary in Calm Weather

IN calm days the reverse is true and the bass
~ naturally wary, ScudS for cover in the thick weed
patches as soon as he moving shadow or notes
the splash of oars the otherwise smooth surface
of the water He does this not because it is boat
that disturbs him, but because anything that moves
across the prevailing calm scheme of water and
weeds alarms hint is something that does not
fit at the time, therefore from the fsh's point of
view is to be avoided. At the time the splash
of the bait it hits the water does not alarm him
on calm day. because fish and frogs jump and
splash the water all kinds of DAYS and he is
used to such COmmotion.
To sum up bass fishing is not hard difficult
to learn if remembers the general points of the
game-the rest is matter of experience You
should first examine the waters you intend to fish,
to determine whether you should use ninnowS
frogs, flies artificial bait such the wooden
minnow. If you are in doubt, it is usually safe to
begin by trying frogs, as they the really great
staff of life in bassdom. Remember that whatever
bait you it must be fresh, and at least appear
alive, for the bass kills his food and feeds
dead food.
Next the character of the shore and bottom
should determine just where to fish, for different
depths and different call for different methods
of handling the cast, just different bats do A
poor boat IS nuisance to the bass fisherman, be-
cause it cannot be handled quickly and quietly;
thus fiat atbottomed boat should be used the best
if weather conditions permit it.
An inexperienced oarSman can spoil the fishing by
awkward handling, which frightens the fish, puts
YOU too close too far away, which in turn makes
it hard for you to cast. The good boatman handles
your boat silently and keeps you about the same
distance from the fishing all the time, which makes
casting steady and methodical.
When the fish is hooked, keep stiff line and play
him carefully, but steadily, until he is alongside
and into the landing net for more bass are lost by
OVerCOntdenCe in your ability to ''snake" them
in the side after they apparently done
fighting than otherwise because they nearly always
have Just one kick left and it if YOU try to
land them without a net-and thus you lose him
at the last moment.

as soon you are able to handle it, catch all
the bass you carry in any state in the Union
if YOU know the fish and its habits well enough.
Early morning and late afternoon and evening is
usually the best time to fish for bass, regardless of
where YOU may be. Contrary to the old idea, hot
days are better than COOL cloudy ones because the
fish bite well hot days and easier to locate
they lay up on hot days anywhere that there
is cool shadow their feeding grounds. This
being. fact, you can easily tell where to cast as
your boat gdes slowly along, because you can soon
where the fish ought to feed if he follows his natural
bent-and he does always.
Perhaps there is old log floating half sub
merged near some weed patch growing in the water
edge. Under that log you will find your fish waiting
and if the end of the log nearest shore is in from
one to four or five feet of the bass will be
the shady side of that log within two feet of the shore
end of it
If you want find this out for yourself just cast
your bait it will hit that particular spot hot
bright afternoon-you will know all about it in ten
seconds, more less for the bass will make your reel
scream he takes your bait and races away Tor
deep water like submarine torpedo.

Under Cover of Rock or Weed

DERHAPS the cover is rock, thick weed patch,
L bunch of floating lily leaves pile of sunken
brush treetOps short it can be anything that IS
in from four feet of water and furnishes shade
and place to hide for the bass loves to lie in such
places balancing himself his fins, motionless and
waiting for some luckless frog minnow, other
live thing that is good to eat to come along then he
flashes after it at speed great that only the
perienced eye can follow him.
Sometimes it happens that the fish will not take
any bait unless it cast within foot OF his nose;
but he will take it like flash then. At other times
the same bass will come twenty feet to get It, Again,
he will strike the instant the bait hits the water,
or even jump and take 1t a second or so before 1t
STRIKES or he may pay attention to the splash
that the bait makes when it strikes the water, and
then follow along behind the bait for much as
fifty feet while you reellng IN, only to strike
it suddenly and race away.
If the strike occurs shallow water, you should
strike back at once with quick hard pull that sets
the hook through flesh and bone, but do not jerk,
because that will usually pull the bait away without
hooking the fish
If the fish strikes in deep water, you should let
him run with the bait for fifteen twenty feet be-
fore YOU strike back The reason for this difference
in the time YOU strike after your fish bites found
in the fact that bass in deep water usually takes
his time to swallow the bait, fact usually carries
it some distance before attempting to swallow, while
in shallow water he is hunting and hungry therefore
he grabs a frog, minnow, or other food and swallows

not interfere in the least with the

IS alive and looks good to eat
Ii the vegetation is thick enough, he will
come SO near the edge of the water that his
back will be partly above the surface some of
the time, but if the water is clear of vegeta
ton he rarely ventures into less than eighteen
inches OF water while feeding. You Should
cast your bait to fit these habits
When you hook your fish. you should al
ways keep tight line on him. regardless of
where he goes or what he does, for his mouth
is big and composed of a lot of bony plates
held together with nothing but thin skim
which tears into great holes under the pull
OF the hook as the fish struggles to get
away
Some bass fishermen say, drop your tip
when a bass leaps" but personally / never
lower my rod to much less than an angle of
forty-tive degrees, because this gives YOU con-
siderable bend in the rod, which can be de-
pended on to take up a good bit of slack if the
fish suddenly rushes toward you, and it also
keeps a steady strain on the catch so that it
helps to wear him out the sooner.
Generally speaking, you should fish from
boat, standing in the stern to do your casting,

timing your actions to suit his, if you
would be successful.
Generally speaking, the bass is a

water, looking for frogs, minnows,

1t IS better for the oarsman to back the boat
along, that is, push it backward than to row in
the ordinary way, because this puts the fisher
man ahead of the boat so that he fishes all
the time in water that has not been disturbed
whereas he is always just boat length behind
his fishing if he stands in the stern and the boat
is rowed forward
A gentle w nd, enough to make small waves on the
water, is a better weather condition than a dead
calm, for the reason that water that is broken by
waves makes it easier to approach your fish without
alarming them, because all the shadows are moving
everywhere around the fish and he pays attention
to them The waves usually splash against the weeds
more or less and the fish pays attention either
