Bluffton pulling away to three points,
only to have Mt. Cory shave the mar
gin to one.

Sna gs Huge Bass

March not only ushered in the
opening of the 1916 fishing season
but also brought in a squirt of spring
fishing. Warm days brought out the
fishing urge in local anglers and
Frank Dray of Route l, Bluffton,
hooked a record bass at the National
quarry, on a minnow early Monday
morning. The huge fish veteran of
many seasons, weighed pounds. The
bass was a small mouth, and the sec
ond whopper hooked at the National
quarry since the war started. Dray
had several other strikes. Bass fish
ing at the quarry has fallen off since
the water has been used as cooling
reservoir for the power plant. AS a
result of the raised temperature of
the water, ice never forms on the
quarry and fishing starts earlier
there in the spring than at other
quarries. At the same time bass fish
ing is effected for these fish prefer
cooler waters.

The other large bass was caught at
the quarry two years ago by Ezra
Basinger.
