5 Check Points
For Outboords
BY HANK BOWMAN

face Of the boats bottom. If
the unit Is tilted In too far,
the bow Of the boat will be
forced downward increasing
drag, reducing speed and Gre
ating a tendency for the boat
to yaw. For all out speed, the
unit should be tilted out to a
point beyond which the boat
will gallop or have difficulty In
reaching plane. Ideally the boat
should plane on a slight chop
with only the aft 80 per cent
touching the water.
Check the boats bottom with
a straight edge. The area from
the transom forward for about
20 per cent of the boats over
all length should be straight
and true with no rockers or
hooks. Bottom distortions will
prevent clean planning. Some
boats are inadequately stressed
for the power applied. The
bottoms may be perfectly true
when the boat is at rest, but
the thrust Of the engine may
cause bottom distortions when
full power is applied.
With your boat on the trailer

apply pressure to the lower
unit. II a distortion occurs

During the early cobia run,
most Of the fishermen were
going to the tried and true
grounds around Windmill
Point and off Dividing Creek,
but things had Stacked off
there.
Ashburn, who is an expert
menter, had caught those nine
the day before on an entirely
new ground and he had the
field to himself. He went to
a point about 3 miles off Reed
vile, Va, Just a couple Of miles
south of the light at the
mouth of the Great Wicomico
River.
II get the charts and study
them" he explains. There is
a big bar that runs out here,
and you must get right on the
edge Of 1t If you are going to
catch cobia. And to do that
you need q depth finder be-

cause finding the exact edge
of that bar Is important"
The news of the big catch
spread so fast that he was GER
tain his new spot would
be overrun by copycat fisher
men, so we decided to pull out
half an hour earlier than the
time first agreed on.
We Have Company
When we reached to bar we
were alone, but not for long.
Seven other boats later show
ed up. Winstead and his uncle
must have had the right dope.
We were the only ones to
catch even one cobia that day,
although two Of the other
boats each had two fish on at
various times.
Once set, Capt. Winstead be-
gan with his chum line of
ground menhaden and we cast
out our lines baited with live
cells. They were taken out by a
strong ebb the. We used a
few ounces Of lead to hold the
lines down about halfway from
the bottom. We were fishing
In about 81 feet Of water.
AShburn likes to consult the
Sonar-lunar tables of John
Alden Knight. A prime time
for that day, the table said,
was sos. Almost on the dot,
Corn felt a tug on his line.
He let the fish run for about
is yards and struck. 1t was a
tough fight, because this was
to be our top fish. 1t took
about 30 minutes to get him
aboard. Several times Herb
thought the fight was over, but
the cobia would make q new
run and the fight started all
over again.
CObia Leaps Like Bass
I lost a couple after that on
fish that picked up the line
and started off as though they
meant business. only to drop
the bait when I struck. Finally,
though, I got one In.
Then Collier went through a
discouraging period when the
cobia leased him by running
off with his line and dropping
it when things looked most
promising. Finally, however,
Rex got a big cobia solidly
hooked. But again exaspera-

ton. This one took out IS
yards of line and then jumped
clear Of the water like a small
mouth bass. He threw the hook
like one too.
But finally Rex got even. A
45-pounder took his eel and
Collier set the hook well. This
time he managed him like a
champion, and had him aboard
after a sharp struggle.
The fish was floundering
around the stern and Win
stead was clobbering him with
a t-drink bottle to quiet
him. Then Ashburn shouted
and grabbed a line that had
been unattended in a rod hold
er.
wait q minute" Winstead
yelled, How many fish did you
catch yesterday I haven't got
a cobia this year. Gimme that
line"
WinStead Takes Over
And with that he took the
rod from his uncIe's hand. A
few minutes later, he probably
regretted it. Golfers cobia still
was lying in the well of the
stern. With the excitement of
the new strike, no one had had
a chance to put him away.
AS Winstead began to play
his fish, the Collier cobia came
to life and began to thrash
madly over the deck. He cut
Winstead's feet from under him
like a Green Bay Packer run
ming interference. How the
skipper ever managed to keep
his line taut as he went down
on his back, I'll never know,
but he held on.
Collier grabbed the soft drink
bottle and tried to quiet his
fish which was still giving Win
stead a going over. But the
cobia slithered across the stern
again and Collier joined Win
stead on the deck.
For a time there was a mad
scramble Of fish and men, but
Winstead still held that rod tip
high. We got the skipper on
his feet and he eventually
landed his cobia. Turned out
that the cobia was a lively little
fellow that had been fouled
hooked. But he provided the
most action and the most
laughts Of the day.

LIVELY TIME OFF GREAT WIcoMcO
Cobia Run Turns Out Bigger Than Advertised
BY WHEELER JOHNSON
Outdoor Editor

The news filtered up that
there was a good run of cobia
in the Chesapeake Bay area
around Windmill Point, Va, but
no one had q right to expect
that it was going to be THAT
good.
1t turned out to be one of
those fishing jackpots where a
fellow hits everything just
right; the fish, the tides, the
weather. and the companion
ship.
That adds up to one of those
trips to be stored away in men,
ory and hauled out when con-
ditions make fishing impos-
sible.
Herbert F. Corn, retired
managing editor of The Star,
and Rex Collier, retired editor
ial writer of the same valued
newspaper, spend most Of their
summer days at their second
homes overlooking Indian Greek
near Kilmarnock. They invited
me to join them and Capt. Gar
land H. Winstead, skipper Of
the charter cruiser Cheers in an
expedition to a cobia hot spot.
Record CObia Catch
I arrived in Kilmarnock late
in the afternoon and stopped
at Winstead's filling station to
ask directions to my friends
homes. didn't get there at
once, because the filling station
attendant told me a party had
Just landed with nine cobias.
1t was believed to be o rec
ord for those waters. That I
had to see.
The man wasn't fooling. Nine
cobias there were and one of
them was only a half pound shy
of 70 pounds. Others went to
so odd pounds and most of
them were above citation size
Of IS pounds.
The leader Of this party was
Walter Ashburn of Weems,
Va, Just outside Of Kilmar-
mock. He is a dedicated cobia
fisherman. There is no need
to look for him on Tuesday
and Thursdays because he is
going to be out on the Bay
somewhere at his favorite
sport.
Fortunately, it turned out
that Ashburn is an uncle of
Capt. Winstead, and he de-
cided that he would join our
party the next day as q sort
Of senior adviser. From
that point I had a feeling that
we were In.
Had IA Chances
Well, we didn't break the
record Of nine set by AshburnI
and his friends, but we did
get five of the big bruisers,
the largest of which went col

were citation fish at As pounds.
We probably should have
taken more than nine fish.
During the day we had IA on
the lines for varying times

But these cobias were acting
cautiously. They apparently
weren't very hungry. They

WAFER LIME

About is years ago an out
board motor dealer near my
home established a reputation
BY guaranteeing that any en-
CINE he tuned or rebuilt would
start within three pulls or he
would make no charge for his
service.
He's long since dropped this
form Of advertising as out
board motors developed in reli-
ability and purchasers came to
expect any cupboard motor to
kick right off on the first turn
OF the starter key or pull of
the starting toggle.
If this dealer were on his toes
today he might again enhance
his reputation by guarantee
ing that he could improve the
speed, load carrying capacity or
overall handling characteristics
OF any outboard boat in q half
hours time!
He could safely guarantee
this because the majority of
cupboard outfits would handle
and perform far better If own
ers would take the trouble to
follow through on a five-point
check procedure to assure best
performance.
The check factors are tran
som height. motor tilt, boat
bottom, weight distribution and
propeller.
Peak performance will only be
achieved when each of these
factors has been checked and
any deficiencies corrected.
Cupboard engines are pro-
vided with either long or short
shafts intended for 20-inch OF
l5-inch transoms. Though most
boats will operate satisfactorily
with the power plants placed
flush on transoms. peak eff
cheney will be achieved only II
the most suitable transom
height is chosen.
Lightweight boats with fast
bottom design will, almost in
variably, show an increase in
speed with an increase Of tran
som height above standard. As
q starting point the anti-cavi-
tation plate should be level
with or Just slightly above the
planning surface of the bottom
Of the boat. Try adding shims
until excessive propeller slip
page occurs. The more highly
mounted motor reduces drag
OF underwater components and
improves underwater exhaust
