Fishing without a license 25.00 Old Bronze-Back Beside an old half-sunken log, I made a cast in the morning fog, Using my good old Jitterbug, And I felt a mighty vicious tug. Old Bronze-back was very wise, And that accounted for his size, But he rushed at this funny wiggling thing, And he met his match, and felt the sting. So, plunging here and diving there, (As my hat stood up upon my hair) He fought his battle with every trick— To be fooled like this just made him sick. Breaking the water with shaking snout, He tried to spit the darned thing out, But after a while, the fight was won, And I netted the big old son-of-a-gun. I looked him over from tail to head. "Youre a brave old fellow," was all I said As I wet my hand Vid set him free, I thought "You're a better sport than me." I put him back to live "for seed," For I can catch other fish I need, I had to admire his valiant fight, And to let him go, was only right. C. V. JOHNSTON Have the spinners on your favorite plug gold plated, the fish seem to appreciate the added value. John Crowe in the Johnstown Tribune The complaint made most frequently about spinning tackle concerns twisting of the line. I agree that unless you use some anti-twisting device with your spinning rig that a few minutes of casting is enough to make an awful snarl out of the thread-like line. Last year I used plenty of swivels and an anti-kinker, a lead keeled so as not to turn as it is pulled through the water. Rigging the swivels was somewhat of a nuisance. Now help appears in bead chain swivels, leads and leaders. I've seen these bead chains used for carrying keys and so on, but unti 1 the other day I'd never seen them used f or fishing gear. Instead of a length of wire ° r gimp a chain of beads makes up the leade r ' Each bead acts as a swivel. The gear & made up of monel metal, with stainless ste e ' snaps providing for easy changes of pl u ^' lure or whatever. While we're on the subject of anti-kink' ing gear: It isn't advisable to oil swivels ° r similar fishing tackle designed to keep spi 11 ' ning free.

tii or ot it> is :e! Spinning In England Some Worthwhile Tips from Across fhe Sea By E. BURTON 9 Potuis Court, The Rutts, Bushey Heath, Herts, England ^Editor's Note; it may be interesting to know B Mr. Burton is the co-author of "Fisherman's Book" and that he also holds the English ?"Jning record on pike. Mr. Burton is a very i°«flc writer and we are certain that our ^ders will enjoy his interesting dissertation.) : U Since last writing to the ANGLER, it has furred to me that your readers would * 6 to have details of how to make a lure F spinning tackle that has proved to be Mnner here. These lures are easily made, cheap, and can be changed at the waterside, lost important point) and finally—THEY °0 NOT TWIST THE LINE. I have fished ? e of these lures all day on one of the ^6st French nylon lines (monoplament ^'100°) made, this line has a breaking *ain of only 0.65 kilogram (a kilogram is bivalent to 2.2046 lbs.) and is as fine * a hair. After a good day's fishing in fast fitter the line showed no sign of twist. §* making this lure one will require the "lowing materials: R. spoon blade A- length of stiff fine wire ^ spit ring and barrel swivel 6 treble eyed hook Two small wire springs .Personally I never use a spoon larger than /*', my favorite one has a spoon of 1" By. This of course is a matter of the t?ter to be fished and personal preference. have found in practice that the old saying I The larger the bait, the bigger the fish," ,° 6 s not prove to be correct. A small bait, ; "-ed intelligently will catch big fish, when ^, ge lures and plugs are ignored. SIDE VIEW ER—194» 45 To get on with making the bait; take the small split ring and put on the swivel, then take the spoon and with a pair of pliers bend the end to an angle of 45°. Now place the spoon on the split ring. After this, take the stiff wire and bend one end into a spring loop, slip the small wire spring over the long end, hook the loop into the split ring, pinch together and slide the spring over to grip the end tight. Let the spoon lay on the wire, push on the other spring, and make another spring loop in the wire so that when the hook is placed in the loop it swings freely just below the spoon. This is most important. This lure has a very lively action in the water and can be retrieved very slowly and still work well. If it is desired to fish deep water a little lead wire can be wound round the wire holding the hook. Without this extra weight these lures cast about SPRING SLIPPED OVER 60 to 80 feet, and sink about 3 feet per second. If, in very fast water, they work on the surface, this can be overcome by placing a small lead bullet on the leader before attaching the lure. Cast across a fairly fast stream, and fished slowly, this lure accounted for 67 lbs. of trout during a recent holiday in Wales. This is good going from English standards. Friends who have made up larger sizes tell me they are good for pike, but so far I have not used them pike fishing. I should be glad to hear of results should any of the readers of the PENN SYLVANIA ANGLER care to try out this lure. It is essentially designed for threadline however. FRONT VIEW BEND HERE 0 WIRE — HOO -SWIVEL -SPLIT RING —SPOON George W. Forrest in the York Gazette and Daily During the past several years there have been increasing violations recorded against anglers who run afoul of the Fish code with regard to the taking and possession of minnows for bait fish. Increased fishing pressure has taken a heavy toll of the minnows in our small feeder streams. You have only to try to get bait in your favorite run these days to acknowledge the truth of this situation. Some years ago an angler could make a couple of swipes with his net and have enough fat minnows to start off on a fishing trip. Today you work and work hard to secure your allowed 35 and you'd better count 'em and recount 'em because any ever 35 cost you plenty in fines. In hot weather there are many times you have trouble keeping minnows alive. I've seen fellows jam a bucket of bait into the trunk of the car, drive 30 or 40 miles to a fishing spot and wondered why their bait died on the way. When this happens, there's nothing to do but start all over again. This means that 70 minnows have been cleaned out of our streams which doesn't conserve our dwindling supply at all. There are many schemes and devices used by anglers to keep minnows fresh and lively. Water temperature is important. I've observed anglers taking minnows from the cold water of a spring run in the bucket and plunk them direct into the warm water of the river . . . that was all for the minnows! The other day I saw a new outfit on the market which looks like a regular floating minnow pail with an aerator attached operated with a "hot shot" dry battery from your boat, your car battery or a small dry cell unit attached. The rubber hose connection leads into the bucket and virtually throws oxygen into the water with a constant stream of air. The entire outfit is light, easy to handle and appears to be an excellent method of conserving our bait fish. 21
