Renting one of Jim Burris'
new skiffs, we clamped on the
outboard and putted away up
river to the third island. First
blood in our fishing fell to Capt.
Bob, to whom we attribute our
luck in the weather. It must
have been his luck since this was
his first bass, a keeper 12-incher,
and he admitted the first fish
he'd ever caught in his life.
Capt. Bob is a combat infantry
man and he's been too busy
since his West Point days to
make the first step as an angler.
Furthermore, he caught the
only other keeper, which fell to
a bull minnow we discovered in
the boat well. We kept both
bass until we got back to the
dock and then turned them loose,
none the worse for their ride.
The water was far from clear,
but f1shable, particularly with
live bait, and we saw several

Celia Prescott trolling well up
river. and they had five nice
smallmouths between them. Two
chaps, who were casting the
shoreline with fly rods and lures,
had taken four keepers and sew
eral bluegills. Everyone we met
wa catching some fish and hav-
ing q fine time. The thunder
storm which struck Washington
later in the afternoon did not
extend up that far, so we came
in without getting wet.
AS usual. we learned q lesson
from this trip. We invariably
keep a pair Of pliers in each Of
our four tackle boxes. but didn't
stop to check our bass box on
this trip. A spark plug in the
outboard went sour on the way
up and when we looked, there
were no pliers. We needed them
to turn the brass nut which
clamps the wires on the plug.
However. two men fishing the
shoreline had a pair which they
kindly loaned us, and we were
soon on our way again. Coming
home, we also had a partially
choked gas line. With no pliers.
we limped back. taking twice the
time usually needed after re-
peated crankings of the motor.
Moral: Don't take your equip
ment for granted. Always check
it before you leave the dock or
your home.

knowledge of Ohio local govern
ment, if you are newcomer, re-

an opportunity to study the laws
affecting your present living.
Your last county tax bill was
larger than it had been for several
years. Why? 1t is your money
how is it spent, by whom, for
what?
Why did the Ohio Legislature
have to pass enabling legislation
so that we in Cuyahoga County
may have a subway?
These are but some Of many
questions for which we hope to
fin d the answers. Come and
