Ask the veteran angler, for instance, if he catches wall­ eyes. largemouth bass or striped bass in shallow water when there is a bright sun overhead The answer will be an em­ phatic "no " The reason is quite simple Unlike mammals or birds, fish don't have eyelids, nor can they contract the irises of their jyes in bright light and expand them in dim The fact that they often seek shade leads expert anglers to believe that this lack causes discomfort in the bright, glar­ ing light of summer when the sun is high overhead Go lower la water But simply by lowering themselves in the water, they enter a dim. softly lit world where they are not only more comfortable, but probably sec better, too. In clear water with bright sunlight, look for most fish in the shade. Bast, crappie. white bass and others likely will be found under bridges and docks, and on the shady side of sleep underwater drop­ offs or in flooded trees or brush. As the shade moves, so do the fish At the same time, some species of fish, like lake trout, members of the salmon family and the striped bass, seldom seek out shade They just go to deeper water, where it's gen­ erally cooler and rays of sun­ light tan not penetrate. They will spend hours sim­ ply suspended there, eyen counting on bait fish and other food sources to come along so they don't have to go topside to feed. Or they'll wait until cooler and darker hours of evening and night to do their fcedh*! „>. Reaction to light Once you understand (he reaction of fish to light, it is easy lo see why they're often hard to catch when the lake is clear and smooth and the sun is bright Those deep and suspended fish, and those hiding in shady spots, can be caught, how­ ever. if baits and lures are pre­ sented properly and in the right places As one veteran guide puts it "You have to find out where they are and get right down there wifh them " To find them, you need a PAGE It • PLADfDEALER good, efficient sonar unit, ei­ ther a flasher like one of the six new System 2000 units, or a graph, such as the LRG- - I3I0C. made by Lowrance of TUHa. Ok la.. the world's fore­ most maker of sport fishing sonar equipment. Encept by guesswork, which seldom produces suc­ cess. there is no other way to find suspended fish. Added to the sonar equipment, salmon fishermen especially have found that downriggers--de­ vices designed to trail baits and lures to exact measured depths--are almost necessary to insure catches. After dark Bear in mind. too. that many of the largest fish are caught after dark. Bass, wall­ eyes and channel cats prefer to feed in shallow water, often right on the bottom, when there is no sunlight An instru­ ment like the LRG-IS IOC graph is capable of showing you such fish in suspension, or within six inches of the bot­ tom of a lake or stream. The modern-day depth finder (often called the loca­ tor. or fish finder) can be used to advantage on those windy days. too. FRIDAY. JUNK 11. IMS For mstaaee. flaMg mmn for many years have known that it's best to fish near shoe on the windward side of a lake when whitecaps start rolling. They will tell you that bass and walleyes arc chasing min­ nows in such areas. So will trout, landlocked salmon and many other game fish. The minnows arc feeding, too. on drifting plankton which has been carried by the wind ac­ tion. And since the minnows follow their food, the game fish follow theirs. Shortly after a steady wind comes up. the plankton will start drifting. Fishermen have found that by working frfitn mid-lake to1 ward the windward shore with a depth finder, they often find bait fish following the plank­ ton. «id game fish following the bait fish. Then, after the* wind has been blowing for a while, they seek a windy point, reef, or shore with waves rolling in. and deep water--20 feet or more--within casting dis­ tance downwind with the wind to their backs. They cruise back and forth, prospecting the water with the depth finder. As soon as fish are located, some start casting to shore and working their lures or baits along the drop­ offs. from shallow to deep wa­ ter. Others will beach their boat in a safe spot and walk along the shore where the fish are. using medium-weight jigs, spoons or spinners, cast­ ing into the wind. If the wind changes, how­ ever. and Mows out of the coves for several hours, the fish usually go to another area You'll find it surprising that a cove can be fairly solid with fish one day. yet have none at all the next. When it happens, it's time to employ the depth finder again and search out a new $ fishing spot. It is often fruitful, too. to fish in deep coves in summer and autumn, when the wind has been blowing into them for two or three days. These coves are often full of bait fish --and hundreds of crappies. white bass, largemouth bass and other game fish will be nearby. CANOES INCLUDING PADDIES C « f» $ JL f| ' AND PRESERVERS.
