lakes.
Primaly objectives would be
to: locate black bass concentra-
tions; determine what lures will
entice them and pass such infor-
mation on to the anglers; study
habitat conditions that cause bass
to gather in certain areas in pre-
ference to others; and spot
schools of rough fish and inform
the bonded commercial fisher-
man under contract where to set
nets to increase the take of rough
fish.
The Chief Aquatic Biologist
said major emphasis would be
placed at the start in observing
black bass in Lake Travis. “We
have reason to believe that there
is a greater black bass popula-
tion in Lake Travis than is re-
flected in fishermen’s catches,”
he said. “But our studies have
not been complete. For one thing,
black bass are so skittish or
smart we do not get represent-
atives catches of that species in
our netting observations. Black
bass simply are too cagey and
do not get caught in the same
proportion to other kinds of fish.
By actually observing the behav-
iour of bass around net sets we
hope to obtain a correction factor
in order to arrive at a more cor-
rect estimation of the bass pop-
ulation in our lakes.”
He said the wariness of black
bass is typified in their attitude
toward skin divers as shown In
experiments already made. While
carp, buffalo, panfish, catfish and
other species show no particular
fear from skin divers, black bass
shy away. But it has been deter-
mined, explained the Chief Aqua-
tic Biologist, that if the diver
will descend quietly and sit on
the bottom, the blacks will final-
ly emerge.
He reported the experience ol
one skin diving fan „who went
over the side to locate a black
bass concentration and determin-
ed what bait they preferred. Re-
turning to the surface as an ord-
inary angler, this best-dressed-
lisherman-of-1955 began using a
certain type of spinning lure ana
“made a killing.”
The Chief Aquatic Biologist
said rientist do not consider
thi technique to comprise unfair
tactics. “After all,” he explained,
“we have over populations of fish
in most areas. The problem is
how to catch them.”

Skin diving plan
to study fish to
aid fishermen
AUSTIN—Use of skin diving
techniques to study fish for the
general purpose of aiding anglers
is under consideration by the Tex-
as Game and Fish Commission.
The Commission’s Chief Aquat-
ic Biologist said formal request
has been made of the Federal
government to use Dingell-John-
son funds, derived from a special
tax on fishing gear, to finance
the projects.
The program, if authorized,
will be first used in Lake Travis
of the Highland Lakes chain, be-
cause it has unusually clear
