Fishing Time Is Here Again Fishing fever is already in the air, pretty heavily. One of the first indications I get on this is that my telephone calls and letters of late are in re guard to fishing, not hunting. The season change is at hand. Just when does that season change, and folks start going fishing? Well, in Georgia of course, there are those that fish year-round. But I sup pose most sportsmen are a lot like me . . . the hunting season is much shorter than the fishing season, so as long as there’s hunting to be had, they turn their attentions that way. Just as soon as the last sea son ends, though, on the last day of February (for quail, squirrel and in South Geor gia, rabbits,) then it’s time to pick up the fishing rod again. Actually, if places to hunt are limited, many begin fishing during February. Certainly by March, any day that’s warm enough for you is a day that’s warm e nough for fish. This varies greatly from one person to another. Actually, one of my favorite seasons for fishing is the very early spring season. Maybe it isn’t spring yet, (really, but as far as my own personal fish ing calendar is concerned, spring is here. This is the time of year I like to work the points which make a shallow ridge out into deep water, in the main chan nels of a lake. Sometimes, some fairly shal low-running plugs do the job quite well, but don’t be sur prised if the water is still cold enough to the point that you have to fish pretty deep to find any action. It’s my belief that this is one time of year that the big gest bass come in close to shore, in shallow water. In fact, if the water is still pretty cold, you’ll likely find more good-sized bass than little ones. Now, all winter long, the fish have been moving around pretty slow, because the cold water dulled their appetites and made them lazy. But though the winter can still be pretty cold, it’s warmer than it has been, and that makes the fish more active. They’ll hit a pretty fast moving plug, and usually pro vide a right good fight. I usually like a fairly shal low running plug, such as the Sonic or Lucky 13, but just yesterday I had a crack at Lake Jackson, with my regu lar fishing partner. Bob Cor bin. We didn’t strike it rich. In fact, I collected a three pounder for the day’s only success. This was taken on a Tadpolly, a plug that has a fast wiggle, and travels six or eight feet deep. It came off a point. Action should begin picking up on this type of fishing, most any day now. It’ll con tinue to get better and remain good for the next couple months or so. In the meantime, there’ll be all sorts of fine fishing avail able. In a couple weeks, white bass should be running. Crap pie ought to be hitting, and maybe you can catch them spawning, and if you do, you ’re sure to bring home a heavy stringer. Then soon, the trout season will be open, beginning April, 1, and about a month later, the management trout streams will open. Awaken, fisherman! Your time of the year is here! Sixty - three thousand times last year, the skills of Easter Seal professional staff were at work, helping crippled chil dren and adults in Georgia Easter Seal facilities.

A little boy one time came home from Sunday School and asked his mother this question, “Who made God?” His lesson had been the story of crea tion. His mother was puzzled for a while and then, taking off her wedding ring, she gave it to him and asked him if he could find where it began and where it ended. God has no beginning and on ending. He is from everlasting to everlasting. We will find that there is one of the great mysteries that we will never be able to answer while we are here on earth. One time a little girl came home from her very first day in school and her father asked her, “Well my dear, what did you learn at school today?” “Nothing”, was her answer, “1 have to go back to morrow!” When we stop and think this-one over we will discover that this is our hope. The charm and glory is in the statement. We will never be able to finish life’s lesson or reach the end of something. There is always something in the future. If you tell us that one day on this earth that there will be noth ing left for me to reach for, no more symphonies to be heard or to be created, no more hidden meanings to be discovered, no more hard problems to be wrest led with, if you tell us that we have reached the end of life’s lesson, then the light of hope for our future will go out of our lives. God keeps our souls alive by mysteries, he calls us to find the living truth. It is in the self concealment of God that we find our hope. You will never know God is his completeness. There is always something about God to discover. Rev. Robert S.
