What's New in Fishing?
THERE are not enough bouquets in this country for the
■ fisheries biologist. The job these men perform is more com
mendable since it involves no selfishness. They strive only
to produce more and better fishing for every
body. The presence of a fisheries biologist
is often the difference between good fishing
and poor fishing.
Fred Dickson and Bill Holley are Georgia’s
fisheries biologists. Recently Fred came up
with some records to show that 10% of the
fishermen are catching 45% of the fish. One
third of the fishermen catch no fish. Fred is of
the opinion that not only should we have
healthy waters producing plenty of fish but
there also ought to be a program to teach
people to catch fish.
It never occurred to me that there are people
who don’t know how to fish. Now Fred insists that the majority of
fishermen don’t know how to catch 'em.
Fishing tackle manufacturers certainly have done an excellent
job to make make fishing simple and easy. Recently 1 toured Robi
Robinson’s place in Atlanta to see what is new in the world of
fishing. Robi represents numerous manufacturers.
One amazing item is a tackle box ycu can beat with a hammer,
stand on it and throw against a wall without injury or without mis
placing a single lure. It also floats. Then there is a swivel chair for
your boat, with action like an office swivel chair.
*****
Lure With Mirror
There is one new lure with a mirror finish and they say the fish can
see it a mile away. They are expecting fishing miracles from a plug
called the Tadpolly Spook that has a terrific action in the water. Brooks
has developed a jointed plug called the Reefer that has all the earmarks
of a killer. , . . .. x
Probably the most fascinating lure is a plastic minnow that not
only looks like a fish, acts like a fish, but actually feels like a fish.
It works behind a spinner. I’m wondering what a mudfish will do
to this one. The new crow decoy blows up like a balloon and looks
exactly like a crow. .
The latest thing for cleaning and dressing a fish is a small, light
hand axe. It removes scales, clips off fins, head, cleans and does every
thing but cook. The new Cooper lure has a built in pork rind and as
Robi said, “It not only catches fish but fishermen too.” It looks like
nothing you’ve ever seen before. * *
Automatic Sling Shot
To keep your tackle oiled up, you now buy a fountain pen loaded
with oil and carry it in your shirt pocket. While you are waiting for
the fish to bite, you can have fun with an automatic sling shot. One
of the big sellers is a creel for ladies. It is about the size of a pocket
Dupont has developed a new transparent line called W 40 that
looks mighty good for spinning tackle, or casting. They say Hank
Bruns, of Newnan, figured out the Fin-Dingo plug. It looks like a
sunfish and might surprise the fishing fraternity before long. The
Spin-I-Didee is brand new for the spinners. The larger model, the
Nip-I-Didee caught plenty of bass last year.
The Golden Dot lines, another new development, will win friends.
Their 15-pound line is no larger than a sewing thread. The Zebco reel,
on the market in very few places, is guaranteed not to back lash and
they say you can cast a plug a country block with it. The “Baby Dude”
is called the “Hadacol Fly” and they claim, “It leads them out of the
water like the Pied Piper of Hamlin town.”
There is a preview of fishing things to come. Many of the old timers
will continue to show their confidence in such stand-bys as the 2000 plug,
bass master, bass-oreno, Dalton special, slim jim, Lazy Ike, Lucky 13,
spoon and pork rind, dive-bomber, flat fish, daredevil Imp and about
a dozen other old faithfuls.

Goose-bumps Galore
Another exciting note on the hunting season has come to my atten
tion. A couple of youngsters on a hunting trip in New Hampshire ran
ker-smack into a bear weighing well over 300 pounds. One lad had a
single barrel 16 shotgun and the other a double-barrel 12. The boys,
loading and re-loading, shot 15 times before killing the enraged bear
that kept charging first one and then the other.
When the shooting was all over, both lads, still too young to shave,
had bad cases of goose pimples. And to think, we still have youngsters
who try to get thrills out of racing hot-rods.
Famous last words—“ You hold the nail and I’ll pound.”

There’s A Heap Os Flavor
In A Carton Os Butter
A dot of butter aflds a woi-ld of flavor to a broiler meal. When it comes
to that mellow flavor which broiler browning gives, nothing comes close
to fresh, wholesome cartoned butter. As you know, the paraffined carton
is what protects butter from the outside influence of strong odors and
off-flavors. From childhood we learn to savor the rich good taste of
foods made with butter. A favorite butter spread for broiler meals is
made as follows: Blend 1 tablespoon softened butter with 1 tablespoon
mayonnaise, 1 mashed hard cooked egg yolk, 1 teaspoon lime juice and
a dash of salt. It’s delicious for tomatoes, hot cooked peas, celery,
asparagus, green beans, broccoli, and used as a sandwich spread.
Tangy Molded Salad
TFT I 1
WWEb f -JI
Cool looking and pretty as can be, with the sparkle of gelatin and
ginger ale, is this molded salad. So many combinations of fruits and
vegetables can be used in molded salads that they can be served often
and each time the flavor will be different. Gelatin salads provide an
excellent way to use small quantities of left over fruits, juices and vege
tables, too.
The addition of pale dry ginger ale gives gelatin salads an unusual
flavor and tang that makes them “different” and appealing to the appe
tite. A gelatin fruit salad can double as dessert, if you serve it with
whipped cream.
Cherry-Banana Salad
% cup pitted canned black cherries 1 % cups pale dry ginger ale
1 package raspberry gelatin % cup orange juice
% cup hot cherry juice 1 tablespoon lemon juice
% cup sliced bananas
Drain cherries, reserve juice. Dissolve gelatin in hot cherry juice. Add
pale dry ginger ale, orange juice and lemon juice. Chill until syrupy.
Fold in cherries and bananas. Pour into mold which has been rinsed in
cold water. Chill until set. Unmold on bed of watercress or crisp greens.
Garnish with whole cherries. Serve with mayonnaise or cream dressing.
Salad may be served as a dessert with whipped cream.
