It isn't that Auerbach doesn't

the Celtics want him to finish
as a winner.
Boston takes a 2-1 lead over
the L06 Angeles Lakers into to-

them of the NBA championship.

“Kathy and I were nervous at

WHEN TO FISH, WHERE TO
FISH, AND THE BAIT TO USE
are the three primary decis-
ions that must be made, and
not necessarily in that order,
after the lay of the land has
been determined from a care-
ful reading of the clues provid-
ed by the shoreline, the color
of the water, and other signs
that reveal characteristics of
the bottom which will in turn
have a direct influence on the
presence or absence of the
three requirements of fish
which are food, comfort, and
safety.
WHEN TO FISH IS NO PROB-
LEM as I have long been a
firm believer that the best time
to go fishing is when you have
time to go fishing. Here on the
South Plains and nearby areas,
this is especially true due to
the long distances most of us
have to go in order to find sui-
table fishing water. It is like-
wise true that there are defin-
itely times during the day that
your chances for success are
better than others. Of not too
great importance at this time of
the year, this factor will be-
come increasingly important as
die season progresses into the
"dog days" of midAugust. Right
now the comfort level of the wa-
ter extends from the very bot-
tom to the very top of the lake
with a poorly defined and very
thick layer of maximum com-
fort water in between. This
thick layer will shrink as the
brightness of the sun increas-
es and the temperature of the
water climbs, until along in the
middle of the summer, the fish-
erman will be able to locate
fish only in the deeper holes
or in areas shaded by ledges,
weed beds, bushes, etc. It is at
this time of the year that night
fishing comes into its own for
it is at night that the real lunk-
ers go on the prowl. A big old
"mossy back" will sulk all day
in his deep and comfortable re-
treat, but some time during the
night he will go on the prowl
for something to eat. He will
cruise the surface and the shal-
lows along the shoreline, eager
to pounce onto anything that
looks, sounds or smells like
food. For real trophy fish, work
the surface at night—the darker
the better.
WHERE TO FISH SUCCESS-
FULLY DEPENDS ON HOW
WELL YOU HAVE read the
shoreline and bottom. Knowing
full well that you will find the
Osh you are seeking at a place
that provides all three of the
t«
requirements, food, shelter and
comfort, having correctly read
the signs should
close to the
There are, however,"
things that will assist you in
more correctly pinpointing the
spot to fish at any given time.
Troll to find them. Trolling
lets you cover more water, and
your lure never stops working.
Troll two lines, one shallow and
one deep. Use a weedless spoon,
bumping it along the bottom to
find those hidden pockets. Vary
the speed of your "troll” until
you get that strike. If trolling
lures fails, put a piece of natur-
al bait on and troll very slowly.
A fine variation of this is to
bait a hook, weight it properly,
pitch it overboard and simply
drift in the wind. When you get
a strike, swing around and pull
through that same area again.
A spot that holds one fish will
probably hold at least one more
of equal size , and maybe oth-
ers. Floating logs, sunken logs,
weed beds, piers, brush, and
rock piles are particularly pro-
ductive areas and should
ceive special attention. Under-
water rock piles should be care-
fully cross-fixed with land-
marks on the shore so they can
be easily found again as they
will increase in importance as
fish producers as the season ad-
vances. When fishing these
spots, drop your lure as close
as possible to the target as
hidden-up bass don't cruise for
food, but will instinctively
strike a tempting morsel of
food placed enticeingly near
them.
THE BAIT TO USE LS OF
VITAL IMPORT,VNCE as the
number one concern of practi-
cally all animals is food, fish
being no exception. Picture
yourself sitting on your patio,
comfortably cool and relaxed,
but with just a trace of the be-
ginnings of a few hunger pangs.
Someone passes by, pulling a
tin-can on a string. Of course
you see and hear them go by,
but unless you are irritable,
you would probably pay very
little attention. Follow the tin-
can puller with someone like the
"Gocxl Humor" man or the
“Pizza Pappa" and you are
likely to take some action, es-
pecially if the breeze happens
to waft the odor of that pizza
past your nostrils. The same is
true of that big old lunker that
is lay ing up in the shade of that
old log. It is a buyers market
and the fish is the customer.

Spills, Thrills Highlight Rodeo
Opening night of the South
Plains College Rodeo saw ac-
tion, thrills and spills.
The most exciting event of
the night for the spectators was
the bull riding event in which
only three riders qualified for
the finals.
For the children's delight
ribbons were tied to the tails
of several calves and let loose
in the arena. Anyone that could
collect a ribbon could turn it
in for a dollar bill.
The main attraction of the
evening was Clinton Harlo and
his trained sheep-dogs and mon-
keys. The dogs, with the monk-
eys attached to their backs,
would, follow verbal commands
of their trainer and herd sheep
into pens in the arena.
