10 TffE COURIER.JOUl'm'AL TIMES, LOUISVILLE, KY. SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1971 Ruby's report on tbe outdoors Race between two friends looms for wildlife position By EARL RUBY, Courier-Journal Times Outdoors Editor 4 wk jf ffi LM wwaww ii Am The race for Minor Clark's job as of Fish and Wildlife Resources seems to be shaping into a two-man con- test 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 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 Bardwcll, is married and has three children. After "serving three years in the Navy, he en-J tered Purdue University where he ob-i tained a B.S.

degree in forestry and I wildlife management. He joined the fish and wildlife depart-. ment in 1949 and has been there ever since. His first assignment was as a dis- trict 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 i 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 manage-: ment. In this job Mitchell has had direct Ji -supervision over about 65 employes and annual budget ranging from $470,000 'up to $1.2 million, without once going vinto the red. He has had the responsibility of for-imulating and drafting all hunting repudiations as well as supervising all activities associated with game propagation Summer Rating Tournament set next weekend at of and feeds the line out by hand. 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 in 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. 1-9.

A half-hour has been cut off the hunting hours. Shooting, which begins at noon, must cease this year a half-hour before sunset instead of at sunset. This change was sponsored by the Mid-dletown Sportsmen's Club through Joe Stamper and was approved by the League of Kentucky Sportsmen. Of ill ill ill Photoi by Hope Carlaton Commissioner?

along the main channel in Kentucky Lake. 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 the tail-water of Kentucky Lake for catching them. He rarely returns from a trip without his limit of 10.

Boone not 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 and management.

He has done a truly remarkable job and is highly respected by employes in the department. He is 47 years old. i Others also to be considered for the job include J. T. Cox of Lawrenceburg, 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 I and loyalty, but may be a bit too close to retirement to have a chance against Hhe younger men.

Limited Quantity On Sizes White Blackwall. profile, 4 ply polyester cords, SNsiJN I ft If: 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 every 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 USCF 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 USCF 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 Caro-Kann. Before playing, con sider 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's 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's 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 periods. "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 RENT 3BUY CALL-CHARLIES 447-1752 By JOE TOM ERWIN Courier-Journal Times Speciil Writer MURRAY, Ky. 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 hittin', 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 Secret to sauger success JIM BOONE of Benton, a sauger expert, fastens a large reel (left) to a seat in his boat. Instead of using a pole, he feeds the line by hand.

Later, he drops a large sinker and two lures into the water on an excursion below the dam at Kentucky Lake. Boone sometimes limits out in less than IV2 hours.
