Yes, it's true, your favorite lure may have been feet from a world record catch, but without a firm grasp of the strike zone concept, it may as well have been miles from that once in a lifetime thrill. The strike zone concept is virtually the easiest piece of fishing information to comprehend, The strike zone is the distance a fish will move to hit a bait. Simple, right? But there's more. Knowing what a strike zone is does not help increase our future catch rate, but as we dig a little deeper into this concept we will find that there's basically five factors which effect the strike zone. These are water temperature, water clarity, fishing pressure, light conditions and the fisherman's worst enemy - the cold front. As these five factors may vary from day to day so does the strike zone. If these factors cooperate with the angler than the strike zone will be large. This is one of those days when fish seem to chase down just about any horizontal presentation you throw at them. Then, on other days these factors work against you. You will almost have to drop your lure on the fish's nose to even get a reaction. On these days the strike zone is small and you should stick to a vertical presentation such as a jig or plastic worm pattern. 'The strike zone concept will definitely enhance your catch rate and | have assembled this easy to read chart, which will help you determine the proper presentation according to the Please practice "Catch & Release" Doors victorious From Page 33 game but Justin Halligan slapped in the insurance goal on a nice pass from McCready making it 4 to 1. The visitors somehow managed to display a little bit of energy and came up with their second and last goal of the game but too little too late. In fairness to Uxbridge, they just came up against a solid team effort and the Doors cer- tainly displayed tremendous improvement in play over the last month. Keep it up guys....its even more fun when you're playing winning hockey. "Good luck in the next playoff round". After sending Uxbridge pack- ing for an early season's end, the Doors hosted the Bowman- ville Selects in an exhibition game last Thursday evening as a tune-up game before the Keene tournament this week- end. Coach Jamieson obviously felt the guys might be a little over-inflated after dominating the first round of their playoffs and he was right. strike zone.

The start of the second period looked pretty good with Gibson and Tindall feeding Ryan Puck- rin for Port's second goal taking the lead but then the roof caved in. The Select team then stopped trying with us and proceeded with the demolition derby end- ing the game 7 to 2. Each man on the Doors team seemed to lose every hockey skill they had learned in their young careers and poor goalie Shane Savage had to come up with a great ef- fort as well as Doug Short who has joined the team as a back- up goalie, to keep the score at 7 - It brought the guys back down to earth and hopefully they realize that they still have a long and tough road ahead of them as it takes a total team ef- fort for them to win games. MACKEY, BAILEY & KORB BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS 'Saturday Mornings - 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon Lake Scugog Lumber Building 985-7391 Sr ---- | Ochawe Rd., Port Perry From Page 33 Nepean did not have the pace to stay with Port Perry and the game finished 6-1. The tone had been set for an exciting tourna- ment. P Game two, the first of three on Saturday, was against one of the best in the province, Sudbu- ry. Again, the oppesition opened the scoring but the Guardian girls responded. Heather completed another three way passing play with as-: sists going to Laura and Janine. Shona put Port into the lead mid-way through the first, peri- od when she received a nice set- up from Cara. Quickly, Sudbury tied the score but not to be out- classed Janine moved the team in front with assists to Laura and Natasha. Heather im- proved the lead this time from Dana and Natasha and the peri- od ended 4-2 in our favor. The chess match continued in period two with Port getting first class goal tending from Ka- tie being outscored 2-1. Laura's interception in the slot and quick wrist shot to the upper corner was enough to hold off Sudbury giving the team a much deserved 5-4 win. Game three, after a couple hours of rest, was against host West Ferris (North Bay). The home crowd support was large and loud. There is only one way to silence a crazed crowd, put PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 2, 1993 - 35 Guardian Drugs win silver medals the ring in the net. And that's exactly what the girls did. Scor- ing for the Guardian Drug Tweens were Shona with two, Dana, Bonni-Jo Norton, Heath- er, Natasha and Cara. Assists were given to Bonni-Jo (two), Shona (two), Janine. Four goals were unassisted, with each team being assessed five ties. Again Port outskated and outplayed their op both ends of the ice. The fans of the home team were quieted with a 7-2 loss to Port Perry. A victory or tie in game four against Oshawa meant an auto- matic berth in the final. A loss would mean - that Sudbury would have to beat Oshawa lat- er in the day to give Port first place and a bye into the final. A rough and tumble game is al- ways expected when playing Oshawa and this game was no different. The legs didn't seem to be there, in this the third game in eight hours, The physi- cal game and fatigue showed as Port was unable to outskate the Oshawa team as they had the others. The result was a 3-2 loss with Shona and Dana both scor- ing unassisted goals. 'I'he waiting game began. If Oshawa beat Sudbury, then Oshawa would have a bye to the final. As it turned out Oshawa was no match for the Sudbury team and Port was spared the elimination process of a quar- ter-final game at 7 a.m. and a penal- nents at - The defense was solid u gemi-final at 11 a.m. before the 3 p.m. final. x As expected the final was hot- ly contested with Heather start- ing the scoring five minutes into the game. Janine converted a ass from Heather to open a 2-0 ead. Sudbury did not fade and . the period ended 2-1. Sudbury _notched 'the next two before Cara evened the score at threes on a feed from Shona. Sudbury took the lead and then just 46 seconds later Bonni-Jo passed to Cara and on to Shona and the score was4-4. :.. Dana put Port ahead half way through the. final period on a set-up from Cara. In a game that went back and forth, in which 'either team could have won, Sudbury re- sponded with two goals. A final fl in the waning minutes could not bring a goal. The final score was 6-5 in Sudbury's favor giving 'the Guardian Drug eens the silver. . It was a tremendous tourna- ment for the team that saw them, again, pick up the level of their play. The forwards were excellent at both ends of the joe an down the ice and Katie Senyk was a standout all weekend rob- bing every team when they did get a scoring chance. Congratulations to the team: and the coaching staff for an ex- cellent effort and the great en- tertainment putting Port Perry on the map. Pearce Novice Auctioneers win it all in Little Britain tourney The team started their busy weekend in Little Britain last Friday by defeating a weaker Oakwood team 8-0.

The onslaught continued in the third period. Mike LeFort iced his hat trick assisted by "the tar." "Way to go Mike." Dean Van Camp finished the scoring in the third with a tic- tac-toe play from Jeff Tarbotton and Tim Jones. This win put the Auctioneers in the semi-finals against Lind- say. Dane Grey set the tone of the game early when he body checked a Lindsay forward in the neutral zone. Playing short handed didn't slow down Trevor Lance who scored unassisted during the four minute penalty. 'Dean Van Camp found the mark early in the second assist- ed by Matt Skerratt. Trevor Lance scored the final goal in the second period from a perfect pass executed from behind the net by Matt Skerratt.

Final score was 3-1. The boys took their skates off, with an hour to spare, and head- ed south to Port Perry where they hosted Cobourg in the sec- ond game of the playoffs. The Cobourg squad scored first in the final seconds of the first period. After end to end play Mike Wiseman scored from Trevor Weisflock and Trevor Lance to tie the game. Cobourg came back minutes later to score and take the lead. Port Perry didn't give up and af- ter a brilliant effort by Matt Skerratt on an unassisted goal the score was tied. In spite of the great defensive play of Scott Duncan, Gerard Timmers, Tim Jones and Tre- vor Weisflock, three minutes later Cobourg took the lead 3-2. With six minutes left the coach, Bob Spencley, juggled the 'bench to beef up his offence. This payed off in the final sec- onds of the game as Dean Van Camp led a rush to the opposi- tions goal. He picked up the puck breaking out of his own end, skated up the left side past the opposing players, out to- wards the net in the clear and rattled a hard shot off the right post just as the buzzer blew to end the game. It was a nailbiter and a great team effort. Keep up the good ork boys. Better luck next time.
