Castin' Away This is a first of a series dealing with fishing by Ron Shearer, who is the Red Man Fisherman three- time national champion and world record holder for the largest daily tournament. RON SHEARER SHAW MIDI A NfWS StRVICt Before a fisherman can catch bass, he first has to find them. The best way I have found to locate bass is to look at a large triburary creek or a main river coming into the lake you are fishing. Start out in the back of the . creek, begin fishing shallow and work your way deeper. The fish have migration routes, and it's usually easier to connect with them by starting in the shallows and working your way out in one given area. This is how I'll be fishing along the Red Man tournament trail. Pick your area and work it out really throughly. It's simpliar to The Bass concentrate on one small place and find out where the fish are. Once you find out where they are in a small creek, you generally can go to the other creek on ht ereservoir and find fish in the same type places. Fishing in the back end of a small creek, you're likely to be working only a foot or six inches of water at first. A good bait to try there is a spinner bait. My favorite spinnerbait , color combinations are white or chatreuse with a white plastic or pork rind trailer. As you work your way deeper, follow 'lie creek channel and work the bends of the creek. You'll usually find the fish in the very back or in one of the first three bends. At the channel bend, where the water is a little deeper, you can use a crankbait or one of the lures that can be fished on bottom -- a plastic worm or a jig. Little John's 12 Jewel Park 7 Little John's scored six runs in the second inning for the win. The winners remain in third place, a game out of second and a game ahead of fourth place Taylor Made. Jim Pinkstaff went three-for-three and three RBI's and three runs scored. Mike Yaworksi, Gary MacGregor and Jim Quinn all went three-for-four for the winners. Greg Voce went three-for-three with two RBI's and two runs scored to elad Jewel Park.
