Is that several said the club was the

NOVEMBER TIME TO
CATCH LARGE BASS
Angler Rugged Properly Has
Opportunity to Make Sea-
sons Best Catch.
BY BLACK BASS.

AS the days get colder and colder and
October draws into November. leaves in
the woods that have already turned their
color are falling faster and faster, the
trees beginning to have that bare and
bleak look promising the dreary winter,
now the summer fisherman begins to
think of taking his boat out of the lake,
feeling that the season for black bass is
finished. And Just here he Is mistaken,
for the real season of the big fellows,
those that he has been looking for ever
since the cool days of spring, has just
begun.
Why is It that the biggest fish in the
lake begin to move round in the frosty
weather? Why is IL that the fish seem
to get bigger and bigger as the end of
November approaches? No one seems to
know for sure. but 1t seems very likely
that the cooling waters affect the fish
the same as the cooler weather effects a
human being upon the land, not only is
he more snappy in his work, but his APP
petite is keener and he goes at things in
more of a rush
Then also all the small fish have van
nished into the weeds and into the mud
the crawfish have dug themselves into
the mud and sand.
Lizards and helgramites have gone to
their winter home with the rest and the
big bass that were wont. to find their
food almost ready prepared for them in
the deep waters, no longer can find any
thing wherewith to fatten up for their
winters Information.
Does this not bespeak the time for the
bait caster-he who has few salt water
minnows. or perhaps saved few craw-
fish in some box or trap, or perhaps a
delectable frog. one that would be
scorned in the earlier season on account
of the abundance of them?
Now is the time for the fisherman to
rig UP in the correct manner and he will
make the ber catch of the whole season.

Among tho novelties introduced by

Thursday evening games for guests is
an additional column on the score card,
In which players can record the final
declaration upon which each deal was
played. A comparison OF these records
cannot fail to be interesting.
The analysis OF one section of eight
tables shows that the 80 deals were

were made. OF these n were spades, "a

bid.
OF these 80 deals. there were only
three upon which all eight tables agreed.
Several deals were played at two, three,
and even four declarations. Probably

Combination Brings Results.

Another angler, familiar with mack
erel fishing, gives these suggestions as to
bait "In case the angler uses cut up
mackerel and they don't seem to bite fast
enough try and remove the skin from
bait and see the result.
This is best done by leaving a few
rlackerel lying about exposed to the air
and after the fish gets a bit dried up
split 1t down and skin it, starting at
either end Of Ash TO suit yourself
Now a word in regard to the COM
bination bait that is used mostly'in Long
Island Sound. Take n can OF oil sar-
dires and place them in a plate then
take n tablespoon and flatten them out
to q pulp put layer Of cotton batting
over sardnes and roll In the hands until
thoroughly mixed.
After mixing sprinkle some -four over
II until you have 1t like putty and in
cliped to be hard,
in case 1t comes out too hard sprinkle
a little sweet oil over II and work it in
the palms OF hands until soft enough.
ut Is a good idea to take some oil on
a fishing trip in case the bait dries up"
Greenwich. Conn, anglers sometimes
use spearing or whitehall, hut the usual
method Is to chum with oatmeal, which
attracts the fish 10 the anglers bait The
bait that is most productive of results
used by Greenwich anglers is a dough
made of sardines and -four. The ordi-
nary brands OF sardines are purchased
and a can is ample for an anglers needs.
Sometimes fishermen use canned salmon
mixed with -four paste.

Sinners and Black Bass.


And in this connection I was talking
the other day with a veteran guide and
boatman who has spent his entire life
on Greenwood Lake. He had just fin
ished drawing bait with his seine.
"Tain't much use" he drawled. Don't
stand to reason that a bass Is goin'
out Of his way to jump at one O. them
when he kin swim through a. whole
school with his mouth open an git
bellyfuL Twenty-Five years ago. when
the bass fshin' was what you might
call tolerable good. there wasn't sinner
in the whole lake. There was nothin'
but young perch for live bait. II We
wanted sinners we had to drive over TO
Bulls Mill or to Round Pond to git
'em: either that or ketch brook bait.
And either one or t'other was an all
day Job. I don't know just who first
put the sinners in here an / don't say
1t spilled the bass fishin'. but the fact
remains that it amt what It useter be-"
However, although possibly throwing
a sidelight on the local situation. IL is
rather beside the question Is what ails
the bass fishing this year, the bass
fishing in general. From various parts
of Canada, from several of the New
Hampshire lakes. from the upper Della
ware, my correspondence has brought
me the same wall. wtsa no tangible solu-
ton other than that of rain, rain, rain

in stream or lake.
Even Robert II. Davis. the most opti-
mlstic OF angling chroniclers, the verita-
BILE Boswell OF old DIT. Bass, emits a
plaintive yawp IN n letter to me written
after his return from New Brunswick.
He says he got some good fish, but
not many, and adds 1.-THE grand total
for the year was so unsattsfying that

"One thing 1 have observed about the
