They. get set in their ways arid -don't like tq make changes. Patterns of life are rigorously followed untiw14 something forces a' change in habits. This human -like trait leads to some drastic differences in. fish behavior during the hot weeks of sum - met'. The normal ways of fishing usually don't produce during summer dol- drums, yet many anglers stidk to AM Fisher their set habits and give up fishing.., untit..the,.n..... weather and the water cool. By- calling it quits they're probably missing some . good fishing, says Red Fisher, the angling authority at Mercury outboards. What they should do is change their habits along With the fish•. To begin, start getting out on the lake before the sun comes ufi; be there again when it 'goes down. Skip the,bot hours' in betlween. • Pish will, change what they 'eat, too.

If you need an extra ath, be sure that the price you y will leave you enoughto put one in promptly, and don't complain, if you have to do this; with the cost of labor and fixtures forever going up, the value of an investment in a new bathroom keeps escalating. 4.
