- UNSTON COVE. Va, gen.
orally Is considered to be
Washington's Al bass fish

S4Noto4N S0Ncy Nd.p 6CAA"
4 orally Is considered to be
Washington's Al bass fish
ing hole. That is, it is the
best place within easy driving distance
where there Is a reasonable expecta-
ton Of catching few bronze backs.
1t is about a 45-minute drive down the
Mount Vernon Boulevard, through
Accotink and Pohick Church, turning
left a few miles past the church to-
ward Gunston Hall. All but the last
4 miles are excellent paved highways.
1t is not as good as the Shenan-
doah, the south branch of the Po-
tomac, the Susquehanna or Como
wingo Dam, but it is much nearer
town and few big ones are hanging
around just waiting for the right lure
to come their way. Boats cost about
81 day, sometimes less, and the only
other expense is your Virginia fishing
license which you should have any
way. The main feature which makes
the cove so attractive to anglers is
that most of the time it is clear.
The Shenandoah or Susque-
hanna may be muddy, the POto-
mac generally Is, but nine times
out Of ten you will find clear
water in Gunston Cove.
The reason for this is simple. It is
fed by two good-sized streams. Acco-
tink and Pohick Creeks. The muddy
waters Of the Potomac sweep by with
out entering except for short dis
tance when the tide is coming in,
and this is soon gone.
Cove Ideal for Bass.
MATURE has endowed it with
plenty of weed beds and lily
pads-ideal bass Fairgrounds. This
is especially true of the south shore
line. AS IN similar bass hole further
up the river. the Piscataway, the fish
here are large mouths. A few scat
tered small mouths are found, but not
many. The cove should not be
passed up because Of that, these fish
furnish plenty of scrapping on light
tackle. It is better than the Piscata-
way as they are larger and there are
more of them.
At present these bass are biting on
metal and pork rind bats better than
on plugs. The guides will swear by
the AL Foss shimmy wiggler, but the
lone bass we were able to catch yes
terday afternoon was lured aboard by
using Heddon ace with a pork rind
strip substituted for the feather. We
saw a nice string of seven, weighing
up to 3 pounds. which were caught
on johnson silver minnow and pork
rind.
Whatever lure you are using,
extreme casting accuracy is
necessary SO that you can come
close to the line of weeds with
out getting tangled. The weeds
grow SO thick in spots that
even weedless hooks will become
fouled.
Large Channel Bass Caught.
WHILE this department was trying
w 10 lure a few bass into a creel
yesterday, Earl Burdette and Mr.. and
Mrs. Marshall Burdette were down at
the mouth of the Potomac doing some
real fishing. They were after trout,
or anything else they could get and
they really got something else. 1t

the poor golfer would get some grain
Of encouragement and confidence in

plaisant, uncomplaining guy
who pays the bills for the up
~ keep of some 5000 country
clubs scattered over the length and
breadth of the United States, is to
get break at last.
For years John has reached down
in his jeans to pay the upkeep on
thousands of acres of manicured pas
lures which gave him nothing but a
lot of grief and mental jitters. He's
watched the scratch golfers burn up
the courses in the low 70s, while the
best Johnny himself has been able to
do has been feeble 100, with an
occasional dip into the high COS. And
he has kept pretty quiet about it.
But that's all going to be changed,
If the quiet revolution that has been
instituted among club officials, at the
behest of golf and golf ball manu-
facturers, works out the way it's sup
posed to work out.
Campaign Under Way.
THE fact is that campaign has
been started, and now is going on,
to make it possible for John @. Duffer,
all two million of him. to bust 100
with some regularity. The campaign
will be worked through club officers
and club professionals, with the i'm
mediate aim the softening up of club
courses by shortening tees, cutting
rough and eliminating many bunkers
Let Pine Valley and the other
tough courses stay where they are
but give us courses where the 18-
handicap man can break 100 once in
a while" is the new cry, according
to Bob Harlow, the P. G. A. tourna-
ment manager, who gets around anc
keeps in touch with the latest in goli
developments.
THE method will be simple enough,
Bob wires us. Club officials and pro.
fessionals are going to be urged tc
make the courses several strokes
easier by whatever means are neces-
sary. The theory is that practically
all courses are much too difficult fol
the army of players and beginners AND
for that reason golf loses thousands
of patrons.
