Catching Black
Bass in Winter
Is Mighty Rare
BY GEORGE RINTAMAKI

NEWBERRY, Mich, March g.
Have you ever caught a black bass
while fishing through the ice in
Winter? If you have, it's a mighty
rare oddity.
For, strangely enough. the old
'moss-backs" have a great deal in
common with the bear. skunk and
other alternating animals. Michi-
gan state fisheries experts have
found that bass hibernate" when
the temperature falls. II is pointed
out that bass are rarely found
moving about in water cooler than
so degrees.
While I never understood the
reason for il then, / remember
years back when my uncle used to
tell Of pulling logs out Of the lake
in mid-Winter with the team. In
a few of the hollow ones he re-
ported finding several large black
bass in strange. lethargic state.
Fish scientists explain the bass
work their way into rock crevices.
hollow logs and under other
sheltering places where they re-
main in safety and seclusion until
the Spring sun again warns the
waters. They usually begin to dis
appear into their "hide-outs" with
the first frosts.
AS 10 whether or not they actu.
ally sleep is not definitely known.
1t is known the fish go into kind
OF torpid state and the heart action
slows up TO three or four beats
minute. Biologists conclude this is
not actually suspension Of life.
as has been believed, but merely a
suspension of bodily activity.
It is not yet definitely known
whether body fat surplus is con-
sumed during the alternating
period as is the case with some
animals.

Each sport and its coach has the
worry about where to play. where
to practice. In track, the gym,
measuring 90 by so feet, is used
for classes until 2:30 p. m. every

Use With Spoon

There are many webbing, spoon
type bats of an artificial nature
which do not seem to have the
old ''umph" for fishing unless they
have the pork rind accompanying
them as they flash through the
water.
There are certain spinners which
also become infinitely more effec-
tive when used in combination
with a narrow. waving pork rind.
The spinner has the flash and the
pork rind gives the authenticity.
Pork chunks have their place
in the scheme of the angler. They
often will do business when moth
ing else artificial will get a rise.
Tossed out on the surface and al
lowed TO rest moment, and then
twitched forward. they will get
the scrappy bass or the wicked
northern pike to hitting as though
they were starved.
Pork rinds or chunks are cheap
and serviceable, too. They will
stand up under the most severe
punishment, and can be used over
and over again. if preserved
properly.

Pork Kinds Are

Some Lures R e ally

One Of the cheapest, simplest

chunk. They are not in the least

The ordinary pork strip or pork
