A member of the Johnson Outboard*' Sports Advisory Board, Cullerton has logged more than a million miles in half-a-lifetime of fishing for everything from Alaskan grayling to Costa Riean tarpon. one thing doesn't work, try another. A few years ago the country's profes­ sional bass fishermen were v „.on beautiful Lake Meacf^ near Las Vegas, fishing for a winner-take-all $10,000 prize. The eventual win­ ner, Bobby Murray, was able to win by moving far - away from the crowds to fish the many unspoiled, unfighed coves on that vast, clear lake. He switch­ ed to a lighter line and dropped spinner baits into the middle of deeply sub­ merged brush, As soon as he had covered that area he would move quickly to the next cove, and so on, using the same "pattern." Fishing is fun, but it also takes some thoughtful effort. But, then, that's fun too. . <»& Catching fish on an unfamiliar lake! Bill Cullerton of the Johnson Outboards' Sports Advisory Board advises fisher­ men to seek local advice and hire a guide to find out best spots and lures. Fish "structure" -- drop offs, points, old creek channels, road beds, brush. strike. They still call the I hate to admit it but it took me quite a number of Ashless trips before I admitted to myself that if I wanted to catch good fish on a lake, I'd better get some local advice. Now, usually the first thing I do when I arrive at a new place is seek out a popular tackle store and "talk shop" with the owner and fishermen there. Buy­ ing a license usually serves as an introduction. If possible, arrange for a guide for your first trip. He'll take you to his "hon­ ey holes" and show you the places that are produc­ ing big fish. Later you'll catch fish without a guide and probably find a few choice spots of your own. Catching fish really starts before you've left home. That's when I drag out my fishing books and read up on the fish I'm after. Know the feeding habits of the fish you're after and you'll be able to load your tackle box with the best lures. Then, when you stop at the tackle store you'll have less to buy. On the other hand, if the locals are catching fish on a certain lure and you don't have it, buy it! This is no time to save a buck or two by passing up a hot lure. Buy a topographical map, if available. These maps show the various depths in this lake. Spend some time studying it, circling those areas that you think would attract and hold the fish you're after. A boat with a speedy outboard is a must on a big lake. An electronic depth finder will also help you locate places that hold fish. But even when you have located fish, it's an­ other job getting them to shots. Be willing to change. If COURTHOUSE SQUARES YOU CAN'T LIVE ON BREAD ALONE EVEN THOUGH SOME FOLKS GET BY WITH A LOT CRUST! Ideal water skiing country! The clear, clean and protected water of this Colorado River reservoir near Las Vegas is an ideal place for water skiers. The anti-pollution experts say water quality is improving quickly in many areas and that water skiers and fishermen are returning to lakes and streams that had once been considered unclean. But, they also warn, there is much to be done to clean up other bodies of water. ^ McHENRY FAVORITE SPORTS CENTER 1210 NORTH GREEN STREET McHENRY, ILLINOIS PH. 385-1000 SidsMalk Sale See our many sale items inside & outside the store!
