WORLD OUTDOOR
WHEN the hardy anglers up
North are cutting holes in
the Ice to seek a string of perch,
wintertime fishermen ♦ farther
South are rigging up to catch big
bass. The jig fisherman has made
hU preparations carefully. On a
rainy night he slipped out to the
local golf course, carrying a flash-
light, its ray dimmed by a shield
of red cellophane, and a syrup
bucket. Slipping along quietly, he
pounces here and there, chilled
fingers picking up a lovely earth-
worm that has slipped a bit too
far from his hole in the ground.
A long, stout cane pole is
trimmed to the desired length.
Not too long, not too short, for a
man must fish with one hand and
scull a big boat with the other.
To the end of the pole is attached
a heavy monoflllament line, heav-
ier the better, and to the end of
the line, depending upon the an-
gler's choice, a treble hook or a
jumbo-size single hook.
Once ready, the jig fsherman
waits for the worst possible weath-
\ er. Melting snow or heavy rains
have swollen the lake and made
it muddy—except for a clear
"ring" of water around the shore
tine. Along this line the fisherman
eases his boat, dropping his tre-
ble hook, now liberally decorated
with nightcrawlers, alongside
stumps and in tree tops. *
He eases the worms down be-
side a huge stump, twitching the
pole ever so slightly, then letting
the cork rest lightly on the water.
The cork seems to make a couple
of moves to one side, then the
"* other, then suddenly disappears
from sight. With one calculated
move, the angler raises the pole
high and sets Mr. Bass down in
the boat.
It is not as spectacular, or per-
haps, as sporting, as tangling with
black bass with spinning gear or
fly rod. But, as any old jig fisher-
man will tell you, it's sure-fire.
