Ice out on the lakes signals the Start of a
special kind of fishing for a knowledgeable
few. This group heOds out about midnight
in search of mud shoals to fish over, They
are often one. of -the ugliest and tastiest fish
in Ontario- CarASb Intidcat, Mud, pout ..,..
call it what yOu will, but the fact retrtainS
that thebrown bullhead is prime fare Wbeit
it comes, from cold Spring, waters anti MO
May is, the best time to catch them,
1 was tir$t introduced to mud pout
aching while on a spring bear hunt near
Sudbury. We had spent an exhausting day
in ow buoi and I was just starting' to feel
warm And dry again when one of my
CoMPanlOns Came up with the great idea of
going out to catch a mess 9f bullheads for
breakfaSt, I though he was cra;Yi but
deeided to go along for the experience
anyway. The three of us bundled up and
headed out Into the cold night for a couple
of hours, of fast fishing. The resultant feast
the next morning made me, a firm devotee
of the lowly mud pout, •
In the spring (mid to late May as a
general rule) the water temperature and'
length of daylight reach the proper
proportions to trigger the spawning urge in
the bullheads, This :in turn causea these
fish to bead for their spawning grounds.
and congregate in large numbers, When
you find one of these schools, the fishing
can be fast and furious.
I pers nally have found that mud shoals
near t
mouth of a Small, creek generally
give tile beat results, Beds of cattails are
what I look for and fish as close to the edge,
as Lcan get, but preferably in water 4 to 6
feet deep. There may be other combina-
tions that work (and I'M always interested
in hearing about them) but as 1 said, this is
the one that wins for me.
I've used several baits, but I always
come back to a gob of dew worms on a Icing
shanked #2 hook. If dew worms are hard to,
come by, chunks of fresh liver work well as
does bine cbeese. I. always mould the

'Cleaning mud, potas, van either be an,
excruciating chore, gr dead easy, 1 use a
sharp knife to cut through the skin,
completely around the fishjust behind the .
pectoral fins (the . ones with, the spines).
Then, grasping the fish by the head with
• two fingers hoaed over the spines, I grab
the skin, with a Pair of pliers and peel it
back toward the tail like pulling off an old
sock, Skinning is the hardest part, so all
that remains is to sever the head and tail,
trim oul the back fin and gut the fish. If you
try -i tou'll be surprised at how proficient
you soon get, but a word of warning to the

handlOvith care. -
AsiRttim' ost fish recipes, the simplist is
usually the best, I shake the cleaned
bullheads up in a bag' containing salt,
peppelb and flour and fry them quickly in
hot bacon grease, Mud pouts tend to be
very rich and its easy to overindulge (they
taste so good), so use a bit of discyretion or
you may wind up with an Upset stomach.
Served with fried potatoes, they make an
excellent breakfast and with mashed
turnips and a leafy salad, a full supper.
This ,spring, if you're fishing for some-
thing -else • and catch a brownbullhead,
don't purse and throw it back. Try .to pick
up a few more and have yourself a real
feast. •

THE SEARCH BEGINS—Susan Freeman f the Canada EMpiCnent
Centre for Students in Goderich helps Carolyn McClure of Waltdn and.
Nancy Franklin of Seaforth, Grade i students at SDHSt fill out their job
application cards.at the school on Tuesday:.
Susan Freeman, -counsellor at the Canada.
Employment ,Centre for Students (CEC$),
Goderich, is a firm believer in the adage
"you have to -sell yourself" when it eemes to
finding a job.
Ms. Freeman visited SeaforIli District
High Schoca.recentlyto-give-any interested:
students some pointers on landing a summer
job.
The eounsellor-said• the SDHS student -S.
seem to be ahead of the game - a minther
already have jobs and guidance teacher
Howard James has distributed infotmation,
on many of the government projects which
employ students. • -
Susan Freeman's major philosophy is that
a little preparation beforehand means stu-
dents will heprepared to meet almost any
job-huntingSituation. The firg step, in this
process is for a student to sit down and
• evaluate himself - making a list of
strengths. For 'example, the list should
include educational background such as
business ceurse. languages and technical
courses; talents - "think of how talented you
are" Ms, Freeman advises in everything .
(Expositor photo)
from evoking to. carpentry to working with
elderly people and finally, take a look at
bobbies.
The end result of this step should be "a
pretty fair appraisal of yourself," the
-counsellor said
• The next step in the process is to include
past job experience in the appraisal. -
whether it Was part-time work. volunteer
-worksuchasbeing a Candy Striper or work
• on the farm. Ms. Freeman advises picking
out two or three people who would be good
references, and later including their names
on the resume,
Susan Freeman said at the end of their
self-analysis,, students should, be ready to
make a list of jobs they think they can do.
Then pick up, the telephone book and draw
, up a, lisrof the area employers who ceuld use
the skills in their business,
Another important point to "teMenther in
the job search is "to use your connections,"
• The ebunseilor said it's.still a fact of, life that '
"more jobs are obtained through who -you
know than what you know." She recom-
mended talking to friends; relatives -and
neighbours about the job you're looking for•and,
following up any leads they might
•suggest. Also, contact your last year's;
employer -both to see if he has any openings
again, or at least to ask if he wcadd ,give 5'04,
a letter of referral.
Now for the really adventUrAus. Ms.
Freeman suggested they consider making
tiwT1hroonjob.
Capital Venture Program encourages,
students to start their own business. Under
the program, the government will lend the
enterprising businessmen er women any,
hc..re from $1 to $1,4900 to start a business,
and advertise it in their community. Forms
for this prOgraggr,can be obtained at Ms.
Freeman's Office above the Goderich Fost
Mete.
r() he government programs, of interest to
students are Ontario Experience '79, career -
oriented jobs in the fields of cnithre,
recreation, education or the environment.
Ms. Freeman said the competition for these
jobs is fierce and there are eight to 10
applications submitted for every job open-
ing.
Two programs .for students interested in
agriculture are the Junior Agriculturist
Program for students from 16-17 years old
from a non-farm background and the
Agricrew program, both administered
through OMAF, in which students of 15 and
over are referred to jobs on the farm.
• Ms. Freeman said employers in the area'
might be interested in the Ontario Youth
Employment Program, U.nder this provincial
• program for- studentS, an employeris :paid
SI,,25. for creating a. job for a student who is
not a relative. The students employed under
• this program can be from .15 to 24 years of
age. In 1979. 49.000 students found work
under thisernployer-assistance program.
The coup: llor also offered a number of
other pointers to assist students in the job
search. First, she recommended studying
the newspaper want ads for .part7time or
seasonal jobs, She said even if an ad asks for
someone who is • "experienced" but the
student thinks they have the skills required,
thenthey should give the pcitential employer
a call ••• "right away.", Ms. Freeman
emphasized.• •
••
•• After students have evaluated what they
• have to offer an employer, and have an idea
of the kind of work they want, then they
should preparea personal ireiume. The
address. educational barground, PrgYiPus
resume IiSts, personal data such As, Age,
w ork espericuceactivities andinterests and
references upon request. Since the job,
market is ecorning SO cOmpetitive, Ms.
reentan recommended everyone have a
• typed resUnte to leave with future employ-
ers.
She said students cart either apply in
person for g Joblikely the best idea in a
smaller toWn. •Or write formal letters of
application. When, visiting a business in
person. she advised students to take along.
their resume. to be dressed suitably, and to.
know why you want to work for that
particular employer an what you have to,
offer.
'If applying by letter, she said students
should -always phone the 00SinOS ahead of
time and find out tbe Pante of the personnel
manager so they have a specific name to
write 10.'rather than the intpersOnal "to,
w hoot it may eeneerri„" Personal visits,
hould be followed up by a thank You letter
and letters of application shOuld he followed
hy a phone call. Ms. Freeman advised, the
students to be courteous but "be pekSIS

along so you can elaborant NI the points
contained in it. Don't, she advised, ask
about vacations. days off, pay etc, during the
first interview:
Ms. Freeman told the Students there are
128 Canada Employment Centres for Stu-
.
(tents across the province, and last summer,
.109,63O students were placed in jobs
through the federal program. Approximately
43% Of the students placed in jobs carne

At the end of the seminar, Susan Freeman
showed a film by the Sesanie Street Players,
again emphasizing job search. techniques,
and then interviewed each student person-
ally bout the applications they were filling,
