Kermit Trio
Report Catch
On Rio Grande
D. L. Cooper, Merced Ji-
menez and his son, Ruben, re-
turned Sunday from a three-day
fishing trip on the Rio Grande
River and reported a large
catch of catfish.
The trio brought back 19
fish which weighed a total of
100 pounds. The catfish all
were caught on trotlines.
Three 19th century astro-
nauts aboard a giant artillery-
shell spacecraft named Col urn-
biad were fired to the moon
from a Florida launch site in
Jules Verne’s prophetic sci-
ence-fiction fantasy.

You can learn a lot about a
man from the books he reads,
the people he associates with,
and what he carries in his tackle
box. And perhaps the tackle box
is the best clue of all.
Beware of the man whose
tackle box contains only bright
new, unscarred lures. He does
not go fishing often enough.
Search for the man with the
box crammed full of old battle-
scarred plugs tangled together.
He may not know what he’s
doing either, but at least he’s
been at it for a long time.
If his selection of lures in-
cludes some for fishing all
depths, bottom, medium-run-
ning and surface, chalk up a
point in his favor. And if he’s
a fresh water poletoter, check
to see if there are bright col-
ors for bright days, and dark
plugs for dark days. If so, give
him another point.
If he doesn’t have a pair of
needle-nosed pliers tucked away
in a handy spot, strike off a
point. He will always be ask-
ing to borrow yours. Does he
carry along his own selection
of swivels and snaps? And some
place in his collection of fish-
ing aids should be a lubricant
for his reels. And if he carries
an extra rod tip and guides for
field repairs, give him a bonus
point.

gear, check to see if he in-
cluded soap for washing his
hands before fishing. If so, dis-
regard any disturbing condi-
tions of his tackle box and go
fishing with him. He knows
what he’s doing. Oily hands ty-
ing on a fishing lure will kill
the bait’s appeal to fish ... but
then surely you already knew
this.
THE SNAG THAT MOVES
Show me a man who doesn’t
get snagged now and again and
I’ll show you a sorry fresh
water fisherman.
Predacious fish like bass,
pike, crappie, bluegill, muskel-
lunge, etc., habitually hide in
some type of cover such as
weeds, lily pads, bushes,under
logs and In the middle of under-
water thickets. Reason: the fish
they plan to eat can’t see them
and will come close enough to
get gobbled up.
They wouldn’t be hiding if they
weren’t in a mood to feed. So, a
lure retrieved close to their lair
will usually produce a strike.
But, for some peculiar reason,
a lure several feet away will
go untouched most of the time.
Maybe a fish is lazy, or thinks
it couldn’t catch whatever is
swimming past. So it waits.
The experts recommend two
things: (1) accurate casting
close to cover above the water
and (2) working a lure just over
the cover on the bottom of a lake
or stream. No matter how
skilled you are, you will hang
a lure now and then. And some
days it will get worse.
But every oldtimer knows
that occasionally one of those
snags moves off shaking its
head. And that’s worth the ef-
fort it took to get loose from
many a snag , . . real snag,
that is. So don’t cuss a snag,
fish it. That’s where the fish
are!

WATCH THAT SECOND TRACK
You have slowed down for the advance
warning signs, stopped a safe distance
from the tracks, and waited for the
freight to pass. Don’t get impatient now.
You may dart out, just as the caboose
passes, right into the path of a fast
moving train on another track. Wait for
the train to clear a sufficient distance
to insure good visibility. Never move
while the flasher lights are still operat-
ing. “Look Before You Leap.”
