According to Smith. Clements. who

grounds for users OF live bait arc
around the two bridges. Artificial
lure casters" he says, will have
best results up the creek and in

AS to which bait win attract the
: large-mouthed gamester from his
hiding depends entirely upon how
he Is feeling-he may be hungry,
playful or angry. He may charge
and devour live Bmelt like q
glutton, then again he may ap.
proach the hooked bait, give It a
push with his nose and be on his
way.
Perchance some object makes q
quick dart under water or on the
surface, and Mr.. Gamester Ii in
hot pursuit, madden than hornet.
Possibly the moving object is u
brightly colored piece of carved
wood, made to represent minnow,
or 1t may, perhaps, be- bunch Of
tied waterproof feathers, looking
every inch bug or insect. The
bass, noted for his gameness, may
run true to form and attack the
artificial lure only to find to his
sorrow that he has been grossly
fooled.
MY advice to the basser is try
the gamester out from all angles
for he is a moody fellow and may
be hitting on all skies today and
by the morrow missing at every
turn.
Saltwater angling continues to
carry on and followers Of this
arm Of the pastime declare that
this seasons late fall period
Overshadows last years record
autumn spell.
F. x. Stonestreet, of Rock Point,
Nd, in a letter, under date of o.
tober 81, substantiates the above
statement when he wrote the fol-
lowing:
We are catching some big trout
here, now. Mr.. D. M. Jones, from
Cumberland, Nd, hooked five yes
terday afternoon, could not hold
one Of them, every d--one got
away. They Strengthened out three
hooks and broke two lines; 1t takes
good stuff to hold them.
One boat brought in twenty-six
and one fourteen big ones yester-
day. There are only three boat
captains here who seem to know
where to find them and they get
them every time they go out.
The second outing Of the fall
season, conducted by the Atlas
Sporting Goods House, at An
1napOlis, Nd, last Sunday, proved
to be q bigger success than their
initial outdoor entertainment given
the week previous. Eighty. seven
anglers and anglerettes were
present when noses were counted
and they all caught fish.
Naturally all present were not
fortunate in landing, what might
be piscatorially termed "humding,
