Largemouth Bass
Enjoys Night Life
The largemouth bass has been
called many names — some res
pectful and some unprintable.
However, no one has yet come
up with a label to describe its
nocturnal rovings, a habit shr
ewdly exploited by experienced
fishermen.
Bass, and most of their aquat
ic cousins, are notorious night
time carousers, say the fishing
authorities. During summer, es
pecially, bass spend the day in
deep, cool waters, lying practic
ally dormant and unresponsive to
the most tempting hook-laden
proposals. But when the sun
slips over the horizon, these wily
gamesters go on the prowl and
the tempo of fishing picks up.
When evening cools the sur
face, bass move upwards and
feed off the top waters. At such
periods, they may hit with reck
less abandon. Night feeders
rarely follow a lure as they often
do during the daytime. Instead,
they strike quickly and with great
force.
The Mercury lads say the best
technique for catching fish by
starlight is to cast a surface
plug with a loud splash right
next to the shore. Let it lie
motionless for 30 seconds, then
retrieve with a jerky motion.

tigate this "goody” with about
as much caution as a parking lot
attendant displays when jockey
ing cars into position.
While this night life of bass
is well known, the exact feeding
times cannot be predicted. It
may occur during any period
from dusk until dawn, and may
last only a few minutes, so, when
you try your hand at night, be
prepared to stick it out. Fish
long and patiently, you’ll hit the
jackpot before the night is over.

the U.S. Army.
The request, 10,700 less

Two Former Baseball Stars
Make The Team in Politics
FORMER BASEBALL STARS score in politics. Above left to right are Robert
Friend in uniform and as he is today; Robert Thompson swinging the bat the
Dodgers will never forget, and a photo of him today.
A couple of “Bobs”, Robert Friend
and Robert Thompson, both big league
baseball stars a few years back, have
passed their tryouts for politics. Both
came home as winners on the Repub
lican ticket in the November 7 elections.
Friend who won 197 games as a pitch
er and had 15 seasons with the Pitts
burgh Pirates, ran as the “underdog”
for Allegheny County (Penna.) Control
ler against county Democratic Chairman
James W. Knox who had held that office
THE COVINGTON NEWS
for 20 years. It was a tight race all the
way but Bob nailed it down in the
"ninth inning”.
The other Bob, Bobby Thompson,
flashed into the headlines when Dur
ocher’s Giants knocked the Dodgers out
of the pennant race in the final playoff
game. Bobby came to bat in the ninth
inning and blasted the ball out of the
park. This was in 1951, now in 1967
Thompson has won a seat in the Wat
chung, N.J. Town Council.

TIMBER BURNING
One management tool that has
a place on many Georgia timber
lands is prescribed burning. Pre
scribed burning is wise use of fire
in the woods for a specific pur
pose, according to Ted Walker,
forester with the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service.
