Winter is time for new gadgets The new upcoming year, just like all the previous, promises to bring a lot of new equipment, im provements on the old equipment, and about as many new, guaranteed to catch lures that it would take several five gallon buckets to hold them all. The fishing and marine industry cannot afford to let any new idea get by them because it may cost them dearly in the end. We have already begun testing some of the newer spinnerbaits and jigs coming out in January. To tell you the truth, there’s not a lot of difference in these spinnerbaits than those made 10 or 15 years ago. The main difference is the material they are made of and the quality control that goes into them. I truly believe that the material and quality control has made a better bait and therefore increased our confidence Panthers to beat Indians The high school football schedule this weekend is dotted with games of monumental significance. For example, in region IAAAA, Valdosta will be at Colquit County. Not only is this a game that will decide first place in the region, it also pits the two top teams in the state in the Associated Press weekly poll. Colquit County is number one, Valdosta number two. The game is being played in Moultrie. Both teams are rebounding from disap pointing seasons. In fact, Valdosta missed the region playoffs last year for the first time since 1975. But the. 'Cats are back, and so is the ’Pack. It ought to be a dandy. My inclina tion is to go with the borne team, so Phil's pick is Colquit. Central at Northside. Central has won three games, but they have played just two good football - teams, and lost to both of them, Lakeside and Warner Robins. Thev play another outstanding team this week in Conrad Nix's Eagles, who are unbeaten and sitting atop the 2AAAA standings. Greg Manson is probably the best running back in this part of the state, and the Eagles will turn him loose on the Chargers. Phil's pick, Northside. Lakeside at Warner Robins. Lakeside is new to the region, mov ing up from class AAA. They've lost to Baldwin and play NOrthside in two weeks. This stretch of games will determine whether the Panthers are serious challengers in the re gion. They have already beaten Central, so they look to handle the Macon schools, but not those in Warner Robins. The Demons fea ture a strong defense, and their of fensive team put up 27 against Central last week. The Demons' youngsters are coming around, and they will be hard to beat from here on in. Lakeside scores a lot of points normally, but not tonight. Phil's pick, Warner Robins. East Coweta at Upson Lee. Two of the four region 4AAAA teams ranked in the AP top ten, and the two teams that represented the South sub-region in last year's playoffs, each playing just its sec ond year in AAAA. This game is being played in Thomaston Each team has lost to Forest Park, from the North subregion, It's Danny Cronic's quick wing-T against Tommy Perdue’s big, bruising ground attack. Go with the home team. Phil's pick, Upson-Lee. Wayne County at Peach County. The Trojans were ranked number seven preseason in class AAA, and got up as high as number four in the Bobby Tuggle's outdoor column will return to this space next week. It does not appear because of the Fair, where he has his tepi set up. Perry Area Home Loan Rates Pettersson Sc Associates 9% + 0 disc. pts. pts. __ 8.500% + 0 disc. pts.

It doesn’t matter what your buy ing in the fishing industry, having confidence in it means everything. Price in most cases doesn’t matter, and the manufacturer knows that you’ll pay the price as long as they have the product to offer. Take for instance some of die most popular boats and motors on the water. What makes them so popular? Are they built diat much Phil L Igp Clark K Sports polls. They've had an off week since a 39-15 whipping by class A A Swainsboro, the Trojan's second loss in a row (Worth County was the other), and it could be what Peach needed to get back on track. Wayne is unbeaten and ranked number 7, but they're really untested, playing most of their non region games against teams in the coastal area, not your football hotbed. It's the first region game for both, and I look for Peach to re bound. Phil's pick, Peach County. Dodge County at Perry. Dodge is 3-1, Perry is 2-1 in region 3AA after Perry's loss to West Laurens. Dodge has lost to Mary Persons, and still must face West Laurens, so this is a big game for both teams as they jockey for playoff positions. It's almost a given that Mary Persons and West Laurens will be in the playoffs, with Dodge, Perry and Jackson battling for the other two. Perry has already beaten Jackson, and I look for them to re bound with a win at home. Phil's pick^Perry. Houston County at Pike County. I'm beginning to wonder about Doug Johnson's Bears. They lost to Harris County Saturday night at home, and Harris is not a very good Bryant Farms & Green Houses Hwy 230 East • Unadilla, GA • 627-9588 3 Miles East Of Unadilla Get Them While They Last!

Over the years we have owned sev eral different makes, and each one had their good as well as bad points. We have owned boats from the more economical to the almost too expensive. It’s the same with your fishing equipment. Someone come out with a brand new rod designed for cranking and endorsed by a pro and, all of a sudden, everyone has got to have one and they say it’s the best rod they have ever used. Truth of the matter is, this is the same old fiberglass blank used 15 or 20 years ago that graphite replaced. A vi cious circle is all it is. Confidence is the real winner here. If you make a lure and let people see you or some pro catch ing fish on it, you can sell them like hotcakes. I’ve known people football team. They've had lots of injuries at Houston County, but could that be the only problem? After the Pike County game, Houston faces Perry, Jackson and West Laurens . But even at this point, they've about played them selves out of the playoff picture. The Pike game will give them their first region victory, though. Phil's pick, Houston County. Swainsboro at Tattnall County. Number eight Swainsboro had an impressive win over Peach County two weeks ago, and even under a new coach, the Tigers are looking more and more like a valid double- A challenger. Tattnall County could be a big test, though. The team with the unlikely nickname of Battle Creek Warrior has lost just once, and last week beat class AAA Appling County. But even though they're on the road, Phil's pick is Swainsboro. There are a couple of region 1A North games on tap this weekend. One of them pits the two Montezuma schools against each other, Macon County and D.F. Douglass. Macon County is ranked number two in class A, while Douglass is struggling. This game can be as one-sided as Macon County wants to make it. Phil's pick, Macon County. Last week's 8-2 keept the season's winning percentage at .783. We missed the Houston County and Jones County games last week. to use nothing but an eight-inch black worm. It didn’t matter where they fished, they used a black worm. On the other hand, there are fish ermen like us, who carry about a hundred different colors and styles. Both of us can catch a limit of fish but we don’t have confidence in the same color.

Another no* idea available Jft. flank SOUtH only at Bank South. Some people think a mature natu ral forest is the "only” home for woodlands wildlife. The fact is, a mature forest’s dense overhead canopy blocks sunlight and stunts food growth below. That’s not what a lot of ani mals are looking for. For many animals a vigorous fast-growing, well-managed Weyerhaeuser forest makes a fine home. There’s low-lying vegetation and protective cover for small mammals. Plenty of food for deer and other large animals. Many birds, too, thrive on the diverse menu of our forests. All of which means the habitat is good for furbearers and other predators as well. The way our skilled foresters care for our forestlands, there will always be plenty of trees—and homes for a wide variety of wildlife—in Weyerhaeuser’s forests. Across America. And right here in Georgia, too. A Weyerhaeuser Page 7A
