Naturally speaking
By Steve Cooke
A common question I get asked is, "What's
your favorite lure?" in response to that question,
I've decided to do a column on my tackle box,
and analyze its contents.
I would guess that every tackle box is,built
around the basic single barbed bait hook. A good
variety of hook shapes and sizes is relatively
inexpensive, and can be used in any fishing
situation. Local baits can be purchased or
captured, and put to good and efficient use
anywhere or anytime. Natural baits often
produce the best (or only) fishing when all other
methods fail. Add a variety of sinkers and some
small bobbers and you have the basis of a top
notch tackle box.
If 1 was ever restricted • to only. one type of
artificial lure, I do admit that it would have to be
the Mepps spinner. This lure is seen everywhere
from small brook trout streams to big open
muskie waters. It is a consistent producer and
can be found in any sporting goods store. If you
would like to take a look at the whole Mepps line,
write a letter to Breck's, P.O. Box X604, Sher-
brooke, Quebec, J1H 5K5. Mention my name in
the letter, and they will send you FREE a
catalogue that is full of fishing tips 'as well as
entry forms for the "Field & Stream',, fishing
contest and the Mepp's Master Angler Award.
Spoons are also a good choice for "midwater"
fishing and my best advice here is to use
whatever size and colour is producing in the area
you are fishing.
Next on the list, I would put the "bottom
bumpers" as efficient fish getters. Jigs and
weighted plugs are the best bet here, with
sinking rappelas and vibrotail minnows being
the best producers I've had experience with.
A few "top water" lures should also be in-
cluded in every box. Again, floating rappelas,
floating plugs or poppers can be used. Colour, I
do not believe; is as important as size, so lean
toward varieties in sizes, at least initially.
Throw in a pair of long nose pliers, a good knife
(like the Ruko Shark) and a hook sharpener, and
you have a pretty complete tackle box. Two bits
of ad'rice are,,warranted here however.
First, buy a tackle box about twice as large as
you think you need. They have a tendency to fill
up faster than you think. And last, but not least,
try to make one or two additions each week. It
will save a big drain on the pocket book when
that big fishing weekend does come up.

Soccer dubunbeaten
to league
by Rosemary Armstrong
Clinton - Soccer Club
maintained its unbeaten
league status by
defeating Goderich '13'
over the weekend by a 1 -
4 score.
The Clinton team was
on top throughout the
game with great efforts
from Hellman in goal,
who had some spec-
tacular saves, Ilarrett,
Armstrong, young Tony
Gibbings, who improves
with every game, and
Pete Wise, the most
improved player on the
field,all giving their best
while the rest of the team
were close behind.
Clinton's one serious
fault seems to be the
inability to capitalize on
the ' scoring chances
•
presented, and this was
the case here, when the
result should never have
been in doubt after the
first 10 minutes,but it was
well into the second half
before Harrett was sent
in on a clean breakaway
by Gibbings and with only
the goalkeeper to beat,
made no mistake in
putting Clinton up by one
goal.
This solitary goal
decided the. game and
gained Clinton two
valuable points in the
race for the league.
championship.
Clinton and Strathroy'
share the top position in
the league but Curinga,
the team to watch, will be
in town on Saturday July
22 for a 3 p.m. kick off at
the arena field.
