angler what the best all around bait
is for trophy trout and
they’ll answer “live
croaker” This small bait
fish is a natural enemy of
speckled trout, and preys
on speckled trout eggs
Croaker look similar to a
small redfish (without the
spot). They are available at
bait stands along the coast
on a daily l^tsis. Shrimpers bring the
croakers in each day and sell them
as part of their by-catch The prob-
lem is finding them
m is finding them using croaker for trout kills too many
Because they are so effective at fish It does kill some if they are al
catching big trout, most guides es- lowed to swallow the bait, so use
tablish a relationship with bait stand
owners The guides usually show up
around 4 a.m. Certainly arrange
ments need to be made well in ad
vance with a bait stand to get your
bait
I fish with croaker a half-dozen
times a year. Most recently, my guide,
Captain Bill Sheka, Jr., took me to
Baffin Bay where we landed over 100
trout up to 28‘ 2 inches long in only
five hours
Sheka’s technique is to fish
Baffin's rock piles (which are now
visible) with bright sun and a good
set of sunglasses Simply hook the
croaker above the anal fin in the line
on the side of the fish, using a spe-
cialty Mustad croaker hook. The hook
is tied directly to 14-lb.-test Fireline.
This is a new, no stretch super line
that's perfect for croaker fishing. Use
no weight — it will cause the croaker
to get hung on the rocks.
The more alive the croaker are, the
better You want them working on the
end of your line. Make long casts to
the rocks. Allow the croaker to swim
freely, then slightly pump the rod,
forcing the croaker to have to swim.
This will also force the bait to emit a
croaking noise that will attract trout.
Study Seeks Angler Impacts,
Attitudes on Calaveras, Braunig
AUSTIN — Demands on Texas
aquatic resources have reached a
high water mark in recent years, and
state fisheries officials want to en-
sure that anglers have a strong voice
when management decisions are
made. Drawing from a similar study
involving fishermen at Lake Texoma,
researchers plan to identify angler at-
titudes and preferences on a pair of
popular San Antonio are/lakes
This summer, 1,400 anglers fish-
ing on Lakes Braunig and Calaveras
wifi be asked to participate in a study
conducted IfyTfexasA&M University’s
Human Dimensions of Fisheries Re-
search Laboratory. Participants will
be selected at random from informa-
tion gathered during routine Texas
Parks and Wildlife creel surveys. The
San Antonio River Authority, City
Public Services Board of San Anto-
nio, and TPW sponsor the study.
Officials believe a majority of the
anglers who frequent these two lakes
live in nearby suburbs of San Antonio.
Their attitudes, opinions and contri-
butions are an important consideration
for aquatic resource managers.
“More and more of our anglers are
from urban and suburban areas and
this project will give us a much bet-
ter understanding of this angler seg-
ment and their fishing
requirements," said Phil Durocher,
TPW director of inland fisheries.
The survey has three objectives:
• Researchers want a market per-
spective on Braunig/Calaveras an-
glers; this means understanding
their social and economic character-
istics, fishing participation, and level
of involvement in recreational fishing.
Hie mail survey will also ask questions
about anglers' attitudes and opinions
on fisheries management measures.
• The study will collect data on
angler expenditures to estimate the
economic impact that fishing at
Braunig and Calaveras has on
Bexar County.
• Researchers want to better un-
derstand the extent to which anglers
value their fishing experiences and
their willingness to pay for improved
facilities and services at the lakes.
This study provides anglers the
chance to express their opinions to-
ward fisheries management at
Braunig and Calaveras. Dr. Robert
B. Ditton, a professor at TAMU and
principal investigator for the project,
says this is an important opportu-
nity for anglers at these two lakes to
have their say.
“This study provides an excellent
opportunity for anglers’ interests to
be heard and represented in the fish-
eries management process,” Dr.
Ditton said, “but this can only occur
if they take this opportunity to partici-
pate in the survey. After they receive
the questionnaire, they need to com-
plete and return it as soon as possible."
Fbr more information about the
mail survey, contact Dr. Ditton, De-
partment of Wildlife and Fisheries
Sciences, Texas A&M University,
College Station, TX 77843, or call Dr
Ditton at (409)845-4283.

“Croaking” Fbr Speckled Trout
Ask any serious speckled trout Don’t give the croaker too much slack
because it will swim into the rocks
and get hung up
Road position is a key
Keep the road position from
the 10 o'clock to 12 o’clock
position with the reel en
gaged When a trout takes
the bait drop the rod tip and
simply set the hook. There
is no need to allow the fish
to swallow the croaker, as
with monofilament line Remember,
Fireline has no stretch.
Many saltwater anglers believe
using croaker for trout kills too many
Fireline and make quick lock-sets.
You'll hook them in the side of the
mouth 90 percent of the time
Things to remember when going
croaker fishing for trout include:
• Make arrangements for bait
from bait stands early.
• Avoid throwing dead croaker in
water They’ll attract seagulls, which
will take your good croaker before it
gets below the surface
• Keep croaker lively in a good
aerated bait well.
• Prior to casting, hold croaker
tightly in hand and snake vigorously
to make it croak more
• When croaker become weak, try
hooking two on the same hook.
If you've never caught a trophy
trout, try live croaker It’ll make a be-
liever out of you!

75 Million Go Boating In 1998
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz — Boating
remains a top choice among Ameri
cans with nearly one in four getting
on the water In fact, more than 74.8
million people went boating last year,
according to Yamaha Outboards'
News Bureau In 1998, it took
16,82.4,000 boats to float these mil
lions of water lovers, with outboard
motor power the most popular, ac
counting for more than half of the
boats in use.
If all this seems like lots of people
doing lots of boating, it is And they
spent over $19.1 billion on boats,
motors, accessories, fuel, mainte
nance, and safety equipment.
The state winning the “Anchor
Award" with the fewest registered
boats is \Vyoming, which edged out
Alaska by 515 boats for the dubious
honor with 25,302 registered boats

Take Care Of Your Boat’s Gas, Engine
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Improper
storage of fuel can lead to carbure
tor and other problems that easily
could be prevented in outboard mo-
tors, warned Lonnie Stanley, a mem-
ber of Yamaha Outboards' pro staff.
“Unmixed regular gasoline begins
building up shellac (varnish) in 60 to
90 days, depending upon the quality
of fuel and octane being stored, while
pre-mixed fuel breaks down even
sooner, often within 45 to 60 days,”
Stanley said. “Once shellac crystals
form and enter the carburetor, gum-
ming , roblems result, which can
lead to costly carburetor repairs
Various factors influence the
length of time that fuel can be stored.
In addition to the quality and octane
level, extreme temperatures — high
or low speed up the breakdown
and cause condensation, which
adds water to the fuel.
Visible proof of how fuel breaks
down with age was observed by plac-
ing regular and pre-mixed gas in
separate jars with the lids cracked
open. This experiment was done in
safe laboratory conditions and should
not be duplicated at home. The re-
sults showed that cheap, pre-mixed
fuel began deterioration within two
weeks.
Deterioration is slower if fuel tanks
are stored completely full.
“If you top off your tanks w hen
you’re at the marina or on the way
home, you’ll not only protect your
boat, you’ll have one less stop to make
next time you’re heading to the lake,”
Stanley advised. “Also, purchase the
highest octane available and stick
with quality brands.”
Adding a fuel conditioner and sta
bilizer (not to be confused with oc
tane boosters) will stabilize gas and
prevent shellac from developing over
a longer period It helps to keep car
buretors clean and prevents icing in
gas lines and carburetors This fuel
conditioner can be used in stem drive
or outboard boats
“Dumping old gas is another al
temative, but is an expensive waste
and should be done only under
proper conditions. You should have
your marine dealer or service sta-
tion handle it, if that’s what you want
to do,” added Stanley
It ail comes down to planning
aheatr and taking proper precau-
tions now or paying for maintenance
repairs later that could have easily
been avoided, concluded Stanley.
