Through the courtesy Of Walter
Jones Of the George j. Mayer Com
pany, the Lets Go Fishing" column
will offer a prize to the angler who
catches the largest small-mouth, and
another prize for the largest big

tiers from Aug. Is TO Nov /.
The prize in each division will be
a beautiful bronze medal. with
weight Of fish, where caught. date
taken and name of the lucky angler
engraved thereon. Rules of the
contest will be complied with easily,
as no Indiana water is barred. This
means that the fish may be taken
from private pond. gravel pit. lake
or stream on hook and line For
official entry. the bass must be
brought to The Times, weighed and
registered. This rule probably will
narrow the contest to Marion county
residents, but any resident of In
diana is eligible.
G. r. Ramage of the Diamond
Chain Company and his wife are
the lucky anglers, as they obtained
entry to private pond north Of the
city and took their limit of bass.
Mrs. Ramage was the champ. land
ing nine before Ramage reached No.
6. certainly. she returned three. The
bass we're large-mouth. weighing
from one TO one and one-half
pounds, and they were taken on
spinner with pork rind.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Mummert
certainly enjoyed their fishing at
Lake Wawasee, as they took seven
pike, the largest weighing Az
pounds This trip also proved the
fair angler best. as Mrs. Mummert
accounted for six out of the seven.
A fly rod and an oriole fly pro-
vided day Of great sport for John
Wise in Sugar Greek at Thorntown.
His catch included two small mouth
and two large mouth bass. The
small mouth each weighed IL
pounds, while the large mouth
registered 81 and 80 pounds.
Warden o. A. Kegerice and
several other sportsmen seined and
removed 200 gar from the Musca-
tatuck river. Everett Bear directed
the warden and his crew in re-
moving this obnoxious fish from
this stream.
According to Warden John
Marksbury. the fish are hitting in
Martindale creek in Wayne county,
and some fine strings are being
brought in.
OFT Talbert promises to show any
angler that he has the fish for them
to catch in Asbury Park lake. at
Morristown., which is twenty-five
miles from this city on State Road
So. Talbert claims the lake has been
stocked for fifteen years, and that
this is the first season it has been
opened to the public.
Fred Simon, detective chief, has
been a booster for Big Barbee lake
ever since his trip to this lake short
~ after the season opened in June.
AT that time he and his son had
some fine sport, blue gill and bass
hitting for them. Simon intends to
return for more of it early in Sep
TENDER.
Marcus Blinn is on the spot Since
his order of six gallon of worms,
which he intends to take with him to
Canada, the boys of the Bell Tele-
phone Company claim he is slipping.
Now along comes Audley Durham
with the assertion that Blinn really
did take a three pound bass at In
dian dam. Our guess is that Blinn
really is good. and that these boys
are aware of this fact, and just
wee bit jealous.
That's My Baby" Moore is ready
to take some more of the small
mouth beauties that made him sing
this lullaby every time he had a
strike on his trip with Walter Jones.
Moore does not claim to be such
great shucks as an angler, but the
thrill Of a strike has him, and his
golf is sure to suffer, as he devotes
more time to the rod and reel.
Billy Murphy has been enjoying
the blue gill fishing during the last
week. Murphy may take as many
as ten trips season, and every one
will be for this fish, his favorite.
