1youngsters.INCIDENTALLY. THERE'S oneglt;xd fisherman who comes around jC here ever’ once in a while. I don't U trust that guy. He knows someone's living under this old stump, and he cuts his motor off way up ' the line and sneaks up here with a paddle. Boy, is that guy good t with a paddle. j 1Sometimes the first clue that I get that he’s in the area is when his plug hits the water. His only 1 fault is that hlt;’s not a good caster. |i if he could east real good and 1 would sneak up like that and drop j a lure real easy, right on top of « me, I might hit it before 1 realized what 1 was doing Oh. I'll tell you,I have to be car* ful OLD TOP Water Tom worries me. Now there’s a good caster. He fishes with nothing but a chug-gar. Even though I know he’s in the area, when he drops that 1 black chuggar right on my nose 11 and lets it stay there motionless)' for a while. I really have to hold i myself to keep from just smash- I ing that thing whenever he twitch-j es it. lt;1 gur- : I-know just about every J kind of lure there is. If a new one comes out. I'll see it pretty soon because old Changeable Charley will be out here throwing it at me He almost caught me last year Would have, too, if hlt; hadn't been * areless.He threw a funny-shaped contraption in here early one morYi-lg and woke me up. I was in a ml in*HKi anyway, so I just de-i ided to smash that thing. Didn’t •ee that monofilament line, cause }„.* had it tied directly to that lure.MAN. WAS I surprised when he et that hook. I made one hard lun and broke his line where itwas frayed a bit near the lure.I’m sure thankful he was one of those guys who never breaks off * the last foot or two of his line when he’s been fishing awhile. 1 jumped right near his boat and I threw that fool thing out and I’U bet the\ he ard him all the way to oeekatz.
