THE COURIERJOURNAL TIMES, LOUISVILLE, KY. SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1971 Ruby's report on the outdoors Race between two friends looms for wildlife position By EARL RUBY, Courier-Journal Times Outdoors Editor 10 jgjffjggawys fefe!

When he gets a strike he hauls in the line by hand, allowing the reel to take it up as he pulls.

Jim trolls just fast enough in the churning water to keep the weight bumping the bottom in about 40 feet of water. Sauger are so attracted by his lures that he has limited out in less than an hour and a half on occasion. Finds, croppie hole Hot Weather Success Mrs. Gilbert Bryant of Eastwood is a great believer electric depth-finders. One day last July she and her husband were looking for a croppie hole in Lake Cumberland near the Conley Bottom dock.

When the depth-finder showed 35 feet, a croppie took her lure. Anchors were dropped, and in no time at all she had 59 croppie. This- past week she returned to the same area, waited until the gadget showed a 35-foot hole, dropped anchor and caught 45 croppie. It was a blistering hot day, and she made her catches between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

"It just shows that you can catch croppie at any time of season or day," she said, "if you can find their hole." Dove Limit Lowered New federal regulations for the mourning dove allow only 12 birds per day. This is a drop of six from the "trial" limit of 18 the last couple of years. The season will run, as before, from Sept. 1 through Oct. 31, and from Dec.

Checking a timing unit is Paul Klein of Ecuador, chief arbritrator for the matches. missioner of Fish and Wildlife Resources seems to be shaping into a two-man contest between friends Arnold Mitchell and Bernie Carter. Mitchell is in his 14th year as director of game management. Carter is a former director of fisheries and now serves as assistant commisioner.

Clark resigned, effective July 1. The Fish and Wildlife Resources Commission will meet on July 19 to choose Clark's successor. Two weeks ago I gave you a rundown on Carter. Now let me bring you up to date on Mitchell. Arnold is a native of Bardwell, is married and has three children.

After serving three years in the Navy, he entered Purdue University where he obtained a B.S. degree in forestry and wildlife management. He joined the fish and wildlife department in 1949 and has been there ever since. His first assignment was as a district game biologist in Eastern Kentucky, where he directed a farm game habitat development project in 35 counties. i Returned in 1959 Later he became wildlife supervisor in the Eighth District, and in 1954 he shifted to Western Kentucky where he was made manager of the Ballard County Wildlife Area.

Then in 1959 he was brought back to Frankfort as director of game management In this job Mitchell has had direct supervision over about 65 employes and an annual budget ranging from $470,000 up to $1.2 million, without once going Into the red. He has had the responsibility of formulating and drafting all hunting regulations as well as supervising all activities associated with game propagation and management. He has done a truly remarkable job and is highly respected by employes in the department He is 47 years old. Others also to be considered for the job include J. T.

Cox of Lawrenceburg, now acting commissioner; E. Dale Crider of Carlisle County, now with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Commission; Michael Marsh, a Centre College faculty member, and Jim Moynahan, manager of the Ballard County Wildlife Management Area. Cox is highly respected for his ability and loyalty, but may be a bit too close to retirement to have a chance against the younger men.

1 4 By MERRILL DOWDEN Courier-Journal Chess Writer This seems to be a bonanza year for tournament-minded players of the Louisville area. One major tournament was just recently concluded, and now comes word of two more, to be held simultaneously next weekend in the University Center Building on the University of Louisville campus. The major event will be the Summer Rating Tournament, a U.S. Chess Federation affair sponsored by the Louisville Chess Club. This will be a five-round Swiss, with every player playing in eyery round.

Registration is set for 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Saturday, and the first round will get under way promptly at 10. Three rounds will be played off Saturday, and two Sunday. The entry fee is only a dollar, but USCP membership is required. Non-members may join at registration.

(The fee Is $5 for those under 21; $10 for adults.) At the request of a number of players who do not feel ready for USCP tournament play, a novice tourney has been arranged, to be conducted concurrently with the Summer Rating event. For this, there will be no entry fee, nor is USCF membership required. Tournament directors will be Mike Decker and Don Cromeans. A remarkable King hunt is the feature of this playing, consider the diagram. Black has just moved dence that bass hit better at dawn or late afternoon than at any other time of day.

"I think perhaps they hit top-water lures better then, but I suspect that because they haven't been chased from shallow water several times by boats at that time I like to fish early and late in the sum mer because it comfortable and usually there is little wind. But I think I've caught more fish between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. than at any other time." A strong believer in solunar tables, Massey always tries to fish during their major penods. "Fish feed at some time every day, and I've found this time matches major solunar periods too often to be a coincidence." He also has found that bass don't hit well when the barometer is dropping slowly but occasionally hit with frenzy when it is dropping rapidly.

He's a hunter, too Although he says he most enjoys catching bass with top-water lures, he fishes almost exclusively with artificial worms and spinners. "There's nothing like seeing a big bass slap into a top-water lure, but there's only a short period during late spring and another in the fall when they hit well on top, and I've found even then they hit worms better." He uses spinners with yellow or white skirts and a 4-inch strip of pork rind when bass are feeding on minnows and when the water is muddy. When fishing artificial worms, he sticks exclusively to Sportman's super floaters, and usually goes with a grape colored one. Except for November, December, and January when he hunts at every opportunity, Massey fishes every week. However, he says it's about April 1 before he can count on catching as many as five bass a day.

He says June is invariably the best fishing month. However, by fishing deep water or shelves near drop-offs, he catches almost as many fish in July and August. "The big thing about summer fishing is being able to stand the hot weather. When you're casting away at noon on a 95-degree July day you begin to wonder if it's worthwhile." September and October are his favorite fishing months. "Bass are back in shallow water then and will really bang away at lures.

You also have the lake pretty much to yourself and the weather is best of the year." SAVE UP TO 40 ON YOUR VACATION BUY RENT CALL CHARLIES 447-1752 Photoi by Hopt Cerleton Commissioner?

About the same time, Hope Carle-ton of the Department of Fish and Wildlife was photographing an even more successful sauger fisherman below the dam at Gilbertsville.

The angler is James Edward (Jim) Boone of Benton. He specializes in sauger and says there is no place like tha tail-water of Kentucky Lake for catching them. He rarely returns from a trip without his limit of 10. Boonenot only is highly successful, but he is unique in his fishing methods. He uses no fishing rod.

He uses an over-size automatic reel similar to one used in Michigan and the Great Lakes for walleye fishing. He uses about 100 yards of 100-pound test line to which he ties a two-pound weight and two plugs shaped like long, thin minnows. He fastens the reel to a seat in his boat men's crown by trimming Clark Graebner of New York 10-8, 6-3.

And now, the winner of the Kentucky Lake Invitational Bass Tournament, Hugh Massey of Murray. Hugh who? Of where? The 115 expert bass fishermen who came to Kentucky Lake from throughout the country to fish in the tournament may have been caught short by Massey's win, but it was no surprise to those of us who have been running into him on Kentucky Lake for years. "How they hittln. Hugh?" I'd ask. "Pretty good.

I need one more for my limit but they're not very big. I don't guess I've got one that will go over five." And then he'd hold up a string of bass I'd be hard pressed to match in a month of fishing. "How you doing?" I'd mumble something about just getting started and slip my two 1 Impounders over the side of the boat and head across the lake. He gave 'em warning Massey was fishing in only his second tournament sponsored by the Bass Casters Angling Society when he won the Kentucky Lake championship last month with 51 pounds, 11 ounces of bass caught during the two days. In his first tournament last year on Barkley Lake, he finished eighth which should have given the experts warning that a new expert was on his way up.

But Massey doesn't plan to join the bass tournament circuit. "I'm too much of a home lover to spend that much time on the road. And tournaments are too hard on your nerves. I'd rather fish for fun." To illustrate the nerve-jangling tension of a tournament, he tells of losing the biggest bass he hooked during the two days. "I had a 7-pound lead after the first day.

Shortly after I began fishing the next morning I hooked a fish that would weigh at least 7 pounds. When he rolled to the top of the water I thought, 'That's at least 14 pounds I'm ahead of But when I got him near the boat and reached for my landing net, he broke loose and was gone. I figured I'd just flown my chances but fortunately my luck improved and I held on to the lead." Although the 30-year-old Massey began fishing for bass on Kentucky Lake when he was 10 years old, he says he has learned most of what he knows about fishing during the last five years. "The main thing I've learned is that catching bass is hard work. You have to go early and stay late and keep your lure in the water.

I believe that the more casts you make the more fish you catch. Of course, you have to learn the water you fish, and that bass don't stay put many days in a row but are constantly moving from one type habitat to another. You need to fish at least twice a week to keep up with them." Massey says that he finds little evi Prom AP and Special Dispatches The third time proved the charm for Jackie Cooper and Elam Huddleston. Beaten by Bill Evans and Bob Bortner in two earlier tennis tourneys this summer, Cooper and Huddleston finally conquered the veterans yesterday, capturing a 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals of the Big Spring Country Club Invitational Doubles Tournament. The upset victory over the second-seeded Evans and Bortner moved Cooper and Huddleston into today's 1:30 p.m.

final against top-seeded Peter Van Lingen and Gay Messick of Glasgow, who downed Rod McNerney and Charlie Kane 64, 6-2. Meanwhile, Steve Imhoff captured the singles title of the Public Parks Tournament at Triangle Park, outdueling Bob Nolan 3-6, 6-1, 64 in the semifinals and then topping John McGill 10-8, 6-3 in the final. The triumph earned Imhoff, a former University of Kenlucky star, the right to represent Louisville in the National Public Parks Championships, slated at Buffalo, N.Y., in August. Elsewhere in tennis yesterday Margaret Court avenged her loss in the title round of last week's Wimbledon tourney by mastering Evonne Goolagong, another Australian, in the finals of the Irish Open at Dublin 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.
