OUTDOORS
ATLANTA (PRN)—This
has been one of those crazy
years for me, when little has
gone right. Not going into
tales of woe before hunting
season, suffice it to say that
deer season escaped with me
hunting only part of one day,
due simply to lack of time.
In addition, duck and quail
seasons have been open for a
few weeks now, and my
scattergun is still collecting the
dust it began gathering at the
end of last season.
There just have been too
many things going on to spend
enough time to go the
distances necessary and spend
the needed time to hunt,
though I hope to change that
very soon.
Anyway, realizing that time
was precious, I decided to
concentrate on doing a little
more fishing this fall than I
normally do, since hunting
always takes precedence at
this time of year.
Recalling a few years back
when I had very little place
and opportunity to hunt that I
fished a good deal in the fall,
and that fishing at that time of
year was very good indeed, I
thought this might be the
answer since 1 might be able to
get away for a few hours
occasionally.
I recalled that most waters
had many fewer anglers on
them than during the spring
and summer months, and that
hotrod boaters were all but
non-existent. And as an added
attraction, fishing was usually
nearly as good as in spring,
and sometimes at least as good
as spring.
Well, apparently, I lost my
touch. Trip after trip, I’d go
out and get skunked, or
perhaps catch one, maybe two
small bass. One day I did
manage to get four or five, but
none were big enough to keep.
I gave up.
Then, Thanksgiving Day
dawned bright and clear, and
pretty warm, and I fell into
conversation with a fella I’D
just met. He opened the door.
“Sure would be a dandy day
What to do when he
says he'll pick you up in an hour.
What would you do with
out (low-priced) electricity?
i A ®r-
<.

The versatility of electricity seems limitless.
As does man’s inventiveness in utilizing it to add to our
pleasures and cater to our needs.
And as this demand for more and more elec
tricity grows, so does our determination to keep it low
in price and high in reliability.
We make it our business to keep the cost of
your electric service laggingfar behind the cost of living.

Georgia Game and
Fish Commission
It Isn’t Too Late
To Find Fishing
to go fishing,” he said. Well,
you know how it went from
there.
In very short order, we
were at this private pond
where he had exclusive rights
to fish. Right on the dock
where I started, I broke the
ice.. My third cast brought in a
bass of 2'/ ; or three pounds.
My new friend, just a cast
away, moved to a location. 1
tossed a plug to the area he
had just left, and in two casts I
had another hit but apparently
didn’t set the plug well
enough, and a moment later
the fish was gone.
It didn’t matter too
much . . .1 began working my
way around the three-acre
pond, and by the time 1 met
him on the far side, I’d strung
seven bass. All this in an hour
and a half of fishing. He
hadn’t had a sign of a strike.
And while he watched me, I
got another stike, but this one
snapped the line when he hit.
Apparently, it had gotten
frayed in the previous battles.
That was the only good
plug 1 had with me. I’d left my
own tackle box at home, and
had borrowed my seven-year
old’s box. That one plug, a
Heddon Sonic, was enough.
It’s a real killer in early spring
and late fall, particularly when
conditions were as right as
they were that day.
It’s going to cost me
though. My new friend wants
a copy of that plug, and my
son assured me I have to
replace his that I lost! And
while I’m at it, I guess I might
as well get one for myself.
