Of anglers who left Saturday for

the prospects Of three days Of reel
sport. sadly were disappointed with
the results The weather man
pulled a boner when he turned on
the heat and an east wind. for the
fish quit biting right now when this
combination arrived. But, shucks,
il would have been some other alibi.
If the weather had been ideal, and
we all had the benefit Of the days
IN the open, at least.
Actual count Of the catch taken
by the Menges family, and their
friends during their two weeks on
Lake Freeman was ninety black and
silver bass. blue gill. channel cat
and crappie Limit catches we're
frequent. and a six pound buffalo
was bagged.

John Sinex took a ten-inch blue
gill Just below the dam at Broad
Ripple Monday. In addition, he
also caught seven bass. but luck
was against him with these boys,
as they all were understood. Very
sorry. John. but The Times fishing
contest covers only bass in the
large and small mouth class.
Well. it's hard to believe. but the
proof of the catch is what counts,
so Mr.. Jack Vending again will
take the palm, this time with a
northern pike that weighed eleven
pounds and twelve ounces. Wen
ding was fishing Barbee lake with
Carl Rusie In addition to pike,
they caught five bass.
The Jacks casting fly goes over
with bass at Barbee. Every fish
taken by the writer and Walt Jones
on Labor day falling for this lure.
We thought that Joe Waite and
Garry Winders were going to Tip
pecanoe lake to catch bass. but
their report showed that red eye
predominated. The catch was:
Waite. two bass; Winders, one bass
and eight red eye. Yes, boys, the
medals still are safe.
Which reminds us. The medals
to De awarded winners of The
Times contest now are on display
in the window at the Em-Roe sport
ing goods store. Drop by and give
them the once over. We know this
