74.5	Sprang Bassin	USHS01::BEAZLEY		`Tue Mar 11 1986 09:44`	38
	no mon, i'm from down near Breaux Bridge and Bayou Teche...Got mysef to Dallas by followin crawfish holes. did't know i was followin a pegged-led mon. Las weeken i go to my camp at Lake Bistineau to try some bass fishin. Seturday mornin i try to start my ol bass boat, it won't go. i tink mebbe de arbitraor full of awl, ya know de gas devaporate an leave de awl. Mebbe my foonchock nefew don it, i dunno. My nextdoor neighbor mon come by in his boat an ast me if i wanted to go wif him an i say ok. We go to Mudd Island, Whiskey Slough and also fish de big cyprus trees alongbeside de channel, but we don do no good. We go fish in near de bank an i catched a lil, 1-1 1/2 pounder wif a yellow H&H next to a boathouse. We decide to giv it up an git som brekfas. When we git near de camp we see a mon fishin rat out in fron of my camp. He in a fancy boat wit all dem chut chus on it. He standin up on de front wid a long(6 1/2-7foot) rod, holdin de line wid de other han. He wuz usin de black crawfish an jiggin alongside all de trees. We talked to him an follered him usin de strollin motor. He had already caught bout 8 an he wuz lookin for a few big ones. He wuz in a bass torniqit an he sed he needed bou 20 pounds or he wudnt way in. We watched him fish a boat house at de Campbells camp an he caught a 4 pounder. He was awful thin tho, had a big head, but no weight on him. He sed de sprawlin season wud start in 2-3 weeks an you cud git in a boat jes a few yards off de bank wid dem solenoid glasses on an see some of de biggest bass you ever saw!! Dere are plenty sand out in front of my camp where dey sprawl ebery year. We watched him use a wurm wid a spoon on de front of it an cast on top of de duck moss by de bank. He say sometimes you find a big one dis way. I plan to go back in mebbe a cupla weeks. I'll let you know wat i see. Bonjour!! Coonass Bob
74.6	Northeast rod/reel show	ISHTAR::TEMP	Pioneer Steve Cuzzone	`Tue Mar 11 1986 17:16`	14
	It probably doesn't compare with the Dallas show, but I enjoyed the Northeast Outdoor Show at the Big E last weekend. About 400 display booths, mostly fishing equipment manufacturers and dealers. Best deal was worms by the pound (about 200 worms for $5). Based on the prices I saw at the show, I went to K-Mart afterwards and bought a new rod (Berkley Lightning Rod). After I got home, I started to read all the literature I picked up and see that the pros are all moving away from 100% graphite to composite rods. I'm moving up from fiberglass, so it's bound to be an improvement, but would I have been better off with composite. It cost less, any other advantages? Steve
74.7	Dem Fenwick rods..	USHS01::BEAZLEY		`Tue Mar 11 1986 20:56`	33
	Cousin Steve, Me, i pick op some of de litrtur bout dem rods also. I got de Fenwick Rod Builders Blank & Components Catalog/1986, (Mon Dieu, what a mouful!!). Mebb you don get dis one, so i gonna copy all de names an types out rat cheer, ok? New for 1986 - World Class Blanks - Helical Bias Graphite Construction, HMG-III, used with Im6 Graphite. New for 1986 - Hooksetter - Helical Bias Construction, used with HMG-III. Boron-X - "unique material", strong, yet lightweight... HMG Iron Hawk Graphite - super tough, sensitive, and stiff... HMG Graphite - extreme lightness, fatigue resistant, speed of recovery.. Matrix Graphite - Graphite and Fenglass, strong and durable.. Fenglass - Strong, sensitive, lightweight... Feralite Fiberglass - Thin walled fiberglass, strong, lightweight.. De prevous material is de property of Fenwick/Woodstream an any errors seen in de above stuff, me, i don know nuthin bout, cause i don onderstand none of it. I jes copy it down from de catalog. Mebbe dis heps your selectin... Coonass Bob
74.8	Knee-deep in Hoopla	ISHTAR::TEMP	Pioneer Steve Cuzzone	`Wed Mar 12 1986 07:28`	8
	Cousin C.B., Fenwick appears to have an incomplete selection among their 1986 offerings. My new Berkley claims to have "radial" graphite construction. I don't know how it will fish, but I figure it will come in handy if I get a flat tire. Steve
