New developments have made
this sport ideal for
beginners, even the lady of the
house and the kids
By ERWIN A. BAUER
1AST summer my neighbor and I took five
J small boys on a fishing trip to Michigan.
It was the first expedition for three of them, but
all caught fish.
One of the beginners was my own 11-year-old son. He
has only average coordination for his age, but after about
30 minutes of instruction with the modern, inexpensive
tackle, he learned to cast well enough to catch fish.
"Daddy," he said one evening, "I'm an expert already !"
That wasn't exactly the case but he was on his way to
becoming a good fisherman. Until recently, only men went
fishing, and it required years to attain any skill. Not so
now. Anybody can enjoy fishing, thanks to new equipment,
better transportation, and good conservation.
The equipment breakthrough came just after World War
II with a method called spinning or spin-casting. By any
name, it's an easy, near-foolproof way to cast a bait. It
differed from previous methods in that the line pulled off
the end of the reel spool instead of unwinding. This elimi
nated the backlashes which had always been troublesome.
Now anyone could learn to spin-cast, even before he went
fishing, with a few practice sessions in the back yard. At
the same time, the old lures hanging in sporting-goods
stores were replaced by plastic worms, crickets, and craw
fish which anglers could scarcely tell from the real McCoy.
Still other factors have entered the picture in recent
years. New lakes designed for flood control or power could
also be stocked with fish. Better still, science has discov
ered how to produce more fish per acre of water. And
most of the regulations and closed seasons which once
confused fishermen have been eliminated.
As a professional angler, I'm often asked to reveal my
"secrets." The truth is I have no secrets just some tips.
If a beginner will follow them, he'll have a fine time.
My first tip is to learn to cast at home using back-yard
"targets" (such as paper plates'). This can become a lively
family competition as well as good practice. Most manu
facturers provide casting instructions with their tackle.
I should point out, too, that a prospective fisherman can
obtain a free fishing education just by visiting his local
sporting-goods store. Most major tackle companies, as well
as boat and motor manufacturers, provide fishing instruc
tions adapted especially for local conditions.
Most of the game fish in America (such as trout, bass,
pike, catfish, pan fish) live around "edges" rather
than in deep, open water; my second tip would be to con
centrate in such places. By "edge," I mean beside a weed
bed, below and above a falls or rapids, around a reef or
shoal, just off a rocky point, or around the edge of the lake
itself. In salt water, look for flocks of birds (usually gulls
or terns) wheeling and diving over a bit of water. You'll
find fish beneath them. But in fresh water or salt, keep
your lure or bait behaving in a lively, liffilike manner.
Except very early and late in the season, most fish are
more active and more likely to strike early and late in the
day. Do your most serious fishing at these times. Remem
ber, too, that good weather does not necessarily mean good
fishing, nor vice versa.
One of the best tips is to follow the advice of the out
door or fishing columnist in your local newspaper. This
man keeps up to date on where and how fishing is best He
can tell you what lures are currently effective, for example.
If a boat is available, one of the most effective ways to
fish is by trolling. That means pulling a lure at a distance
behind the boat. Trailers should remember to go very
slowly and travel parallel and close to the "edge."
Whether the method is casting or trolling, move about
until fish are located. Then concentrate at the spot as long
as you get action. Above all, be flexible. Try new places,
baits, techniques, and various depths.
By the way, on that weekend fishing trip, the inevitable
happened: both my sons caught bigger bass than I did.
"Shake hands with the new champ," one said.
The other added : "Next time you watch how we do it."
That's what I like so much about family fishing nowa
days. You can't lose.
