At a national cupboard rae
| ing championship some years
ago in Tennessee, a Californian
appeared to have the title in
the bag. This racer, who had
trailed his equipment several
thousand miles for q crack at
a crown, had won the first s.
mile heat in his class by an
overwhelming margin.
When the warning gun was
fired for his final heat. the
knee-pad jockey failed to give
his equipment a final checkover
| in his haste to get onto the
course. He yanked at the
starting cord, the engine roared
into action and to the amaze
ment of thousands of specta-
tors, his rig Tipped in a cloud
of spray even before 1t reached
planet His hope of victory had
been blasted in his haste to
get underway. He had failed
to notice that someone had
tied another racing boat to the
lifting handle on the stern of
his own.
Haste should have no part
| In pleasure boating and this
even racers have learned!
I have watched pleasure
boatmen arrive at cupboard
launching ramps and in their
scurry to get their boats afloat
| I have seen rigs pushed under
water, sink because bilge drain
plugs hadn't been put in place,
and crews injured when trailer
operators, in their haste,
hacked into them.
Numbers of pleasure cruises
have turned into a bore or have
become unpleasant or unsalfe-
because some important piece
of accessory gear, a picnic
hamper or a piece Of safety
equipment was left ashore.
Pleasure boating almost is in
variably at its best when 1t is
done leisurely. Since no boat
ing can be pleaSurable unless
it's safe, it's a good idea to
start each cruise with a safety
check, whether it's to bean
extended trip or a brief outing.
- = 4
If your memory is as faulty
as mine, you may find, as I
have, that an inventory or
check-off list is invaluable.
Why not make out a list OF
every item you will need to
make your cruise a pleasant
one. Start out with those
pieces of equipment required on
your boat by law: Life preserv-
ers, fire extinguisher, whictle

Since you're going on q pleas
ure trip. make certain that food
and beverage is aboard and
that accessory sports items
such as water skis, fishing
gear, camera equipment that
win add to the days outing
haven't been left behind.
Once your gear inventory has
been completed you should in
spect the boat. Check steer
ing, remote controls and be sure
thumb clamps on cupboard mo-
tor brackets are tight. If the
bracket and the power plant
is of a design intended to be
bolted to the transom, be sure
that bolts are in place and they
are drawn up snugly.

Canny old Irv and I had
hung back in both spots until
we saw how the leaders were
going to make out. Be we had
to get out on a rock and walk
our canoe around this place.
It now is so shallow that there
is no place one can get

try a similar trip watch out
for this spot.

The wind got the blame from
our two hosts. After lunch we
had a good streak almost i'm

action in flurries of 3 to 5 fish

then the wind would hit again
and everything would stop.

He couldn't have been more
than 4 feet away. It seemed
to be a pattern for some of
these little bass. I got several
that way. Once when we were
landing at a rock, a bass re-
fused to be spooked from where
he was lying alongside the rock
and grapped my lure as I was
reeling in before getting out of
the canoe. Never saw such
nerve.
Maybe these fish never had
a chance to see a boat BEFORE"
was RVS dry comment.
After losing what would
have been the brag fish of the
day, I had three other chances
at what would have been fair
sized basS-fair sized consider
ing what we were catching. I
got a look at them all, and
would say they were between
IL and IA inches If you
stretched the ruler a little.
One of them was almost sub
dued when he spat the lure back
at me so hard it whizzed back
past the canoe like a shot.
Five Casts, Five Fish
We finally met Lefty and
Fred and took over a big rock
in the center of the river to
compare notes.
They had caught lots of bass
and at one point they had
landed five fish on five casts
But their tale of woe was the
same as ours. None OF the tlSh
was much above the legal limit
of 8 inches.
ALI of us had given our tackle
boxes a good workout. We tried
surface and underwater lures,
and I had even put on a Mepps
spinner with a white and black
tail. 1t produced the biggest
bass I was to land all day
another Of those 12-inch fell
lows.
Practically everything we
used took fish, lots of 'em, but
the big boys just weren't going
to bite that day.
