Fishermen change their minds
almost as much as women.
This fact was pointed out by
q member OF the fairer sex.

my husband repeatedly open
his tackle box and struggle to
make q decision regarding a
lure. I decided that picking out

point.
In fact. I'm glad that she
brought the subject up because

concerning worms - the soft
plastic kind.
If you've been reading this
column, you'll probably remem-
ber a recent blast that / gave
this lure. I said 1t was the hot
test thing that had appeared
on the creek bank. that it would
catch fish when other lures
failed, and that IL would win
a popularity poll by the end
of this season.
Worms Winning Ways
And. I was right. I just fin
ished a swing through a dozen
states and saw almost nothing
but worms--on the big deep
appointments, on the little
lakes and ponds, and on streams
too. I fished with them, and
caught fish like all OF the
rest of the folks. But. by the
time the thrill of landing my
third lunker bass had worn off
I had a new viewpoint.
Worms aren't any fun.
This is perhaps an under
statement. Actually, dragging a
worm along the bottom of a
lake is one of the dullest ex-
periences that man can have.
And. because deep lying fish
nibble instead Of striking this
creation, catching a fisn on
worm isn't the thrill that it
should be.
I personally feel that the fun
aspect of fishing Is more i'm
portant than catching a big
mess of fish that the average
guy doesn't want to clean any
way. So. I'm a little bit down
on worms. And, I have a hunch
that this little monster will fade
into obscurity as have so many
other RACES and fads.
