Outdoors with Dan Klepper Contesting feed theory San Antonio April 16 1977 Page 5-C Fish feed early and late. why fishing usually best in the morning and again late in the So says the author of an article concerning the fish feeding theory. The writer also explained fish feed during the have learned that it takes five or six hours for a fish to digest the food in its stomach, and then a few more hours before the fish starts to get hungry again. So anglers can expect about half a day to pass between active feeding periods for most freshwater he said. I don't agree.

I cannot dispute the length of time it takes for a fish to digest its meal, but I certainly dispute the statement that fish don't feed during the day. As far as why early and late hours often but not always produce strikes, I think the writer almost had the answer but let it get away from him. feed mostly at dawn and he said, when they have the best advantage over their Light conditions at those two periods of the day probably have more to do with why a fish such as a largemouth bass feeds early and late than hunger pains. Poor light conditions give the predator an advantage over the prey. ignore the moon The writer bases his theory on feeding activity of freshwater fish solely on the sun.

ignoring or forgetting the moon, and the movement of the moon might have more to do with when a fish feeds than the sun. 1 do not believe major feeding periods occur like clockwork at the same SoiM'pr NORTH AMERICAN SOCCER LEAGUE Atlantic Conference East Ft Lauderdale New York Tampa Bay New England Toronto St Louis Chicago Connecticut Rochester North 1 0 0 0 GF GA BP 0 1 8 Los Angeles Dallas Hawaii Las Vegas San Jose 0 3 Pacific Conference South 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 west 1 0 0 1 0 I 0 0 Portland Seattle Vancouver Minnesota Games No games scheduled Friday's Games Los Vegas at Portland PECAN VALLEY GOLF CLUB SPRING GOLf SPECIAL INCLUDES INITIATION, ALL GRLEN FEES AND COMPLETE CLUB PRIVILEGES FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR A TWO MONTHS TRIAL MEMBERSHIP.

Longshot Boh Wynn, who said about as well as I can swept past the faltering leaders with a solid, five-under-par 67 and established a three-stroke lead over Jack time each day. I believe they vary, depending on the position of the moon and, to sofrie extent, the sun. I know that some of the best fishing I have experienced has occurred between the hours of 10 a.m.

and 3 p.m. I believe the major feeding period of bass can occur at any time during 24 hours, night, dusk, dawn or day. There are some reservoirs on which the dawn and dusk theory probably applies for the fisherman. These are reservoirs with extremely clear waters. The fisherman often has better success fishing early in the morning, late in the evening and at night because of the poor light conditions than he does when the sun is high even though a major feeding period might occur at high noon.

In poor light just easier to fool a wary fish. Cullum Boren contest Cullum Boren Sporting Goods will sponsor a bass fishing contest from April 17 to June 30 and is offering $1,200 worth of prizes.

Nicklaus in $225,000 Tournament Bogey woes HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) Four bogies on the back side destroyed Mary Lou hopes Friday of another sub-par round and cut her lead to one stroke midway through the second annual International Golf Tournament.

Her one-over-par 73, coupled with six-under 66, gave the Louisville, pro a 36-hole total of 139, five under par. Moving into second place after another two- under round was Michelle Walker, making a strong bid for her first pro victory in the United States. Jan Stephenson, the Australian now living in Palm Springs, dropped from second to third with round of 73, which gave her a two-day total 141. After playing the front side in one-under 35, Miss Crocker bogied the 14th, 15th and 16th holes. Then she birdied the 17th but finished with another bogey on the 18th.

The veteran pro striving for her second tournament win in 12 years on the tour said slow play and the heat took its toll on her game.

Brian Gottfried came back to dominate his match against Ray Moore 6-4, 6-2, 6-3.

If Roy Boe and the limited partnership that owned the Nets defaulted on the loan, the bank could have ended up owning the team.
