Clinton News-Record, 1983-03-09, Page 17by steve cooke Spring is definitely an the way, and 11 have Dust received irrefutable proof that this is true. No, it's not the fact that the sap is running, or that robins are corning back or that the catkins on the pussy willows are opening. Even though these usually are reliable sources there is a special indicator which has never en wrong for me. That indicator is the Breck's Catalogue which arrived in the mail last Saturday, and has started visions of leaping fish and tight lines dancing In my mind. As usual, the catalogue is full of pictures of huge fish and smiling fishermen ( all of them used Mepps lures to catch their trophies) as well as full descritpions of the lures themselves and inside tips on how to use them. It isuaranteed to give anyone who browses through it a bad case of "fishin fever", but that's one of the things you have to learn to live with this time of year. One of the main features in the catelogue this year is the Lusox line of spinners. Introduced last year, this weight forward designed spinner quickly caught on with fishermen, and is probably the most versatile spinner on the market today. The unique design allows the Lusox to be fished at any depth simply by allowing the lure to sink when the cast is made. All sizes sink at the rate of two feet per second, so you just "count down" to the desired depth before starting your retrieve. Another relative newcomer to the Breck's line is the Nils Master plug. Made in Finland, these bibbed minnows are proving to be one of the toughest balsa wood lures in use on Canadian waters. Made from hand molded balsa wood and covered with a super tough plastic, each one of these lures is tested for action in a specially designed tank before being released on the market. And action is the name of the game for Nils Master. Tight swimming patterns coupled with an unique erratic wiggle imitate a wounded baitfish perfectly, and drive those lunkers you are looking for into a feeding frenzy. New items for 19831nclude a red hot Black Fiery in a fluorescent pattern. This little item generated a great deal of attention at the Las Vegas show, and is bound to be a winner with trout and salmon fishermen. It may be a while before it hits dealer's shelves, so if you want to try it early this year, you will likely have to order it direct from Breck's. The other new bombshell is the Per .L, which is a single natural or fluorescent pearl on a small treble hook. it imitates a single salmon egg perfectly, and can be used in a number of different ways. Testing however has proven that the most effective method is to use it in combination with a spinner, but trailing that spinner with 12 - 14" of good quality monofilament. If you still have any doubts about whether you really can catch big fish with a Memos, then read on. Remember hearing about Ed Paskowaski? He was fishing the mouth of the Nottawasaga river when he hit a snag. Frustration started to rise, as it always does when this happens, but quickly changed to astonish- ment when t. ° t "snag" started to move and a 69" fish cleared the water trying to shake the lure. An hour and a half later, in the presence of a now large crowd of onlookers, Ed finally landed a 168 lb. Lake Sturgeon. This whole operation was done with 12 Ib. test line (I keep telling you that you don't need 20 lb. test for 1 lb. perch) and - you guessed it - a Mepps Aglia No. 3 silver spinner. I won't guarantee that you'll catch a monster sturgeon the next time you use a Mepp's, but I'm tempted to guarantee that you will at least catch something. If you decatch a biglishwittremnoft4eppowsdnet,afy? and have a good ph®to of it, send it aloiig to the ::recti people. If they use is, they'll send you a free Mepps lure kit, and you'll be in their catalogue next year. And, if you want a copy of this ca logue to get your blood rising, just send a postcard with your name and address, mentioning my name to Breck's Fishing Guide, P.O. Box 604, Sherbrooke, Que. J1H 5K5 and they'll send it out to you. But please, don't blame me if the rivers ice over again before you wet a line. The hot temperatures will be here soon, and you'll be catching fish like crazy. Sto olum%an loses On Saturday March 5 the St. Columban indoor soccer team were trounced 10-6 by Slavia, a team from London. The Toss dropped St. Columban's record to two wins and five losses. The team must win at least three of its remaining six games if it hopes to qualify for the playoffs. The lack of manpower was the main factor in St. Columban's loss to Slavia. St. Columban were minus the services of Billy Tugwell and Brian Newington because of injuries and Ernie Szabo and Kevin Curtis, who had other commitments. Jack Adams played a strong game for St. Columban, in his first indoor soccer game. Greg Ryan fired home three goals and Charlie Wise picked up two in pacing the St. Columban scoring attack. St. Columban played a strong first half despite playing shorthanded. Slavia led 4-3 at halftime. In the second half the lack of manpower became evident as Slavia steam - rolled over the tiring St. Columban crew. St. Columban's next en- counter is against the powerful University of Western Ontario. Game time is slated for 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 12.

The pull held in Rotterdam saw the Canadian tractors, Helms' V-12 Allison Aircraft, "Second Choice” in the 7,000 class and placed second to Frank Verheyen's "Gold Digger", in the afternoon session. Frank went on to compete in the evening session of the 7,000 class and won the class. Barb did not compete in the evening seasion in this class because' "Second Choice" was competing in the 12,000 class in the evening and there was not enough time to change the weights and cool down the tractor between classes. Mary Verheryen and Art Helm made full pulls in the 9,000 class in both the af- ternoon and evening sessions and Mary went on to the pull off in the evening and won the class. Art did not com- pete in the pull off because he was competing in the 12,000 class the same evening. The final standings in the three classes in which the Canadians competed saw the Ontario tractor pullers win all three classes. Frank and "Gold Digger" won the 7,000; Mary and the "Gold Digger" won the 9,000 and Art and the Second Choice won the 12,000. This was the first time Canadian tractors have been asked to compete in the European invitational pull. American tractors have gone to Europe to compete in the past. se.„ .
