HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1957-05-16, Page 7Tricks That Catch Wail -eyed Pike May is a'magic month in the middle west. It means it's time to go fishin' again. And most fishermen who have dipped their lines in the early spring, over the years have their spot all .picked out. Chances are they've been fishing this same piece of water with the same -bunch of guys for a couple of decades on opening day, One old pro from Minneapolis is looking forward to his 52nc1 opening day on Lake Mille Lacs. These are the veterans, and they aro . odds-on favorites to fill their stringers by noon, But what about the newcomer who hasn't fished this area before? How can he find out where the good spots are? There's onesure-fire way to get the straight dope. Pick a town in a lake section and wan- der down to the local bait shop the day before the season opens. You'll get more tips on good fishing water than you can cover in a whole season. An- other good bet is to contact the local game warden. It's part of his job to see that the sportsman enjoys his fic'ling trip, and you'll find' him willing to help. Look for the pebbly reefs and. shoals if you're after walleyes because these fish have just spawned and aren't out iri deep water yet. Still fishing and trol- ling with live minnows accounts for most of the walleye limits, and one of the favorite rigs is the three-way swivel with a bell sinker on two or three feet of line off one ring. The other has ° a gut leader (slightly longer) with the minnow hooked light- ly under the dorsal fin. This ar- rangement keeps the minnow alive and allows him to swim freely in a fairly wide circle. The northern pike is a vor- acious eater at this time of year and is a favorite quarry be- cause of his mean temper. He too has just come back into the lake from spawning beds up rivers or in flooded swamps. He'll eat or fight anything that comes within striking distance. A good, whippy bait rod or spin- ning rig with an assortment of plugs and spoons is the best outfit for northern. Cast for The rocks and deadfall timber around the mouths of streams and retrieve with plenty of action writes John Henrickson In "The Police Gazette". The northern is a plenty savvy fighter so don't let him play possum near the boat. Usually after a -good scrap he will appear to give up and allow himself to be towed toward the boat like a floating log. When he does ibis, hang on, because he's just faking. About the time you are congratulating yourself on a nice fish he will explode into the air and throw the plug right at your head. If you're fishing inland waters this spring and are looking for a different kind of thrill, try the lake trout. Any of the local folks can tell you which are the Best trout lakes, and there is some first-rate sport here with a light rig. Shortly after the ice goes out, the lake trout, who usually dwell in deeper water, come up around shore looking for minnows and newly hatched fry. Take a canoe and slide along the rocky shore- lines or around the islands and east bright, little spoons over the drop-offs. The trout you catch will be lour to eight pounders with Itienty of fight. They seldom DUBIOUS — Proud, but a little concerned by his green thumb prowess, patrolman Floyd Suter examines the exotic vine which threatens to turn his home into•a jungle.. A Christmas gift from his wife, the Gloriosa bulb has been growing at the rate of three to four inches a day. break water but go for the deep holes or over sharp rocks. They are lightning -fast swimmers and have a change of pace that will fool you — and man, what eat- ing. Other than early May, perhaps the most anticipated event of the season is the annual explo- sion of muskies found in inland waters. It occurs usually be- tween the 4th of July and the 1st of August, and is always fabulous. In one week -end in this period during the 1955 season more than 60 big muskies were ,caught in one small bay. There is a small, but growing body Of anglers who claim that one Of fishing's finest thrills is to be found on a good panfish lake with a light fly rod. To this group the mid- western lakes offer two great scrappers — bluegills and crap- pies. Local fishermen who pursue this hobby have taken to build- ing anchored brush rafts on the ice in the wintertime. When the ice melts, the raft sinks and provides ideal cover for the pan - fish. When May rolls around this year the fishing season will be on once again. It will bring thrills that only a fisherman can. understand. Chances are that On that day there will be headlines of new crises, new bombs, new threats — but, who cares, in May it's fishin' time. A famous veteran actor liked to dine quietly. Consequently he was rather put out when, in an exclusive restaurant, he was seated near a noisy diner, who kept yelling for the waiter. "What do you have to do," de- manded the noisy one, finally, "to get a glass of water in this dump?" The actor said quietly: "Why don't you, try setting yourself on fire?"

With all gardening equip- ment, it will pay in dollars and in toil saved to keep it in good shape. It takes only a minute or " two.., to scrape the dirt off a cultivator or spade before put- ting away andnot many more minutes to add a drop of oil to prevent rust. Also an occasional serape with an old file will make a hoe or cultivator kill about ten times as many weeds. With power tools itis essential that they be oiled and greased.' re- gularly and mo'ing parts should be wiped off with an oily rag, especially after mowing when. the grass is damp or cultivating when the garden is dusty. It is also an excellent rule after using any power machinery to check over main bolts and nuts and see that they are tight. Properly handled, and reason- ably cared for, a power mower or garden tractor will last for years. Watch For Bugs With so many easily applied chemical mixtureson the mar- ket, there is little if any excuse for having oun flowers and veg- etables damaged by insects or disease, It is no longer necessary •to prepare various concoctions. All that one has to do is to go to the nearest seed store, tell them our troubles and get some handy preparation which is simply dusted or sprayed on. For every bug or disease there is a speci- fic cure or control. The main thing is to start control measures just as soon as the first injury - appears. Treatment is not ex- pensive. A healthy, clean and • vigor- ously growing garden is the best insurance against injury. Well spaced, well cultivated plants are far less susceptible to trou- ble than neglected plots over- run with weeds. Prompt clean- up measures, after harvest or blooming, and in the spring and fall will also help greatly. Many bugs and diseases live over in the ground, or in weeds along the edge of the garden. Clean- ing these up regularly will help substantially in keeping a gar- den healthy. Is It Ready? It is a mistake and often a serious one to do any general cultivating or sowing while the ground is muddy, either be- Cause the winter's frost is still coming out or there have been recent rains. Heavy soil, espe- cially, is liable to bake hard and lumpy if dug or worked while too wet. A good test is to take a little earth and squeeze it in the hand. If when released, it crumbles, it is safe to work. If it forms and holds in a ball, however, it is best to let dry out further. Straight Rows For Vegetables String -straight rows and as long as possible in the vegetable garden are not a sign of fussi- ness but of efficiency or com- mon sense. It will pay a dozen times over to take a little care in planting our carrotts, lettuce, beans and tomatoes straight and cultivation is simple and quick evenly spaced. When we do this and it is safe too, even when the new plants are just start- ing to peek through the soil. 1.1 we are sure the row is straight and the plants in the row evenly spaced then we can weed quickly and cultivation is only half the chore it would be if the seed was tossed in any- where. A long string and some good stakes are absolute musts in planting. Because the neat vegetable garden is so easily cared for, many gardeners also plant the flowers they will use for cutting right along side the vegetables. This is an excellent place for a row of sweet peas, for the main planting of gladi- olus and for any flower seeds left over from the regular beds. Bow Can 1? By Anne Ashley Q.
