WITH BOD AND GUN
As Seen By
Hartley R. Davis
They say it is an ill wind that
blows no one good, so this rainy
weather has helped the angler in
wetting down the woodlands. It has
lessened the forest fire danger and
we shouldn 't be barred from the
woodlands because of a fresh fire
hazard. Before this rain the leaves
and such were wet and soggy.
Don't neglect Fido, Lucious or
Ranger just because the hunting
season is over. Ticks are around
so give your dog a good bath to rid
him of these things. He will thank
you tor it in his way.
According to reports only the
smaller trout are hitting at Mars-
tons Mills river. Earlier some good
sized trout were being taken.
"Plenty of excellent trout were
being taken at Lovell's Pond. 1;__

Cigar store Indians such as this
wooden Pocahontas, were familiar
figures in front of the establish-
j ment of any reputable tobaccolst
back around the turn of the cen-
tury. This particular Indian , carved
fro m a solid block of wood, holds
an improsing arra y of packaged
tobacco and wrapped and banded
cigars (no cigarettes please.) Its
sister, an exact likeness, now re-
poses in the archives ot the famed
Smithsonian Institution in Wash-
ington , D. C, -where it is viewed
by thousands of persons each year.
The Pocahontas shown here is
now on display at the new location
of the century old Odence Cigar
Company nt 101 lyanough Road,
Hyannis. The Indian shown in Hy-
annis is about 200 years old and
has probably been repainted a num-
ber of times since it was first
carved. It has been the property of
the Odence family for nearly 100
years.
M. J. Odence, proprietor ot the
new Hyannis venture, hopes to
have his factory open about May
15, when he will Invite the public
to see Pocahontas. (Patriot photo.)
plenty of work to do on the Sea
King, but expects to have things
ship-shape before long.

Ralph Kimball and I fished Scar-
go Lake for a few short minutes
the other morning. Neither of us
experienced a strike using lures.
We Journeyed over to Long Pond
in South Yarmouth to try for some
bass. Bass were jumping all over.
Some were jumpin g well in shore
but they wouldn 't take lures. Ralph
had no luck using worms. I hooked
a piskerel using a Baker's Tab
Wobbler,
While going down to Scargo on
Route 6A shortly before sunrise ,
we saw several rabbits cross the
road and skip to cover In the brush.
We saw quite a few on Station
Avenue. Some had been hit by cars
and ki!!ed. Along Route 28 to West
Yarmouth I spotted as many as
two or three dead rabbits in the
road within the space of a few
yards.
Rabbits are pretty numerous
. right, now. They appear to be
I leaving the heavy brush and are
living close by the houses and
highways. In some places they are
becoming einito a nuisance . Gardens
and shrubbery arc being chewed
up and they can find where the
tender shrubs and plants are.
Lawrence Brooks is going to
leave his favorite calibre .25(5 Rob-
erts and have a 25 - 0G made up.
This shell is made from a HO • 06
brass necked down to a 25 calibre
slug. This Is one of the latest and
hottest of wildcat loads and is a
fine vnrmit load.
Chet Conway says It Is a .222
calibre for him ami Harold lirooks
likes a ,844 Remington. Take your
choice.
Francis J. Walozak has entered
a pair of fine flsh in Ketmey 's fish |
contest. One fish went one pound ;
six ounces, while the other was a
four pound , four ouncer , and had a
lmgth ot 20Vi Inches. The latter
fish had Its left front fin clipped.
He was using a Super Dupe r. From
the lure used I'd say he used a
stiititting outfit. These fish were
Brown and came from John's Pond.
The Pat and Don has a new color
scheme and according to Charley
Hinckley's, it's the latest. Pacific
Croon is the color and Charley says
he was told its ' a color that will
lend to make the flsh bite bettor.
Well, suppose you run into a school
of color blind fish, Charley. "Tboso
new regulations won 't affect _UJ
small party bunt owner; onl y those
carrying over si* to a boa t n ill
have to change somewhat," said ho.
An old saying Is that when tho
dandelions appear the striper
can't be (ar away.
Stuart Coggoshall of the Alison
Jane says that the sound of the
Whip-poor-will heralds the coming
of stripers.
Well , folks , dandelions are out
and Mr. and Mrs . Md Hurley tells
me that the same whip-poor-will
has returned to their yard , so fol-
lows, let's get going.
Saw Herbert Chahala getting
ready for fishing I 'other day. Says
Herbert , "I'm goiiiR over to Craig-
ville and try for some tautog. I
hear that they are off there."
Have you been experiencing poor
trout fishing lately '.' Well , why not
try some black hnss fishing. The
Capo area has some fine bass
pbnds. Then there are many ponds
thai offer .some excellent pickerel,
perch and horn-pout fishing. Don't
(orget those scrappy , little blue
gills and snntlsh. Perhnps they inck
the glamour of trout fishing, but
they tight. Dso light equipment
such as a llj i od or a spinning rod
I wilh four or six pound lino.
1 Joe Amarnl was lolling me that
he finds that the fishing has been
below par so far this season. The
tlsh are running much Smaller and
are not hilling too well .
I low many ot you anglers are
finding that the trout are hitting
your lure with a slapping motion
and don 't seem to mouth tho hook?
I have experienced thai and many
anglers have told me tho same
thing. Kind of bass fashion Is tho
best way to explain it.
SORie worm fishormon find that
the trout merely suck nt tho worm
and don 't take the hook. AVoll, one
I way to stop thnt Is to use two
very small hooks, at No. 12's, and
' hook a part of tho worm to one
and tho other part of tho worm on
tho other hook , then don 't try to
reel In or set tho hook nt tho first
Indication of a bile. Let the trout
tako tho bait away and then set
your hook. Remember trout suck
the bait from tho hook.
Ed Chase hooked a couple of
pickerel over at Long Pond. 1 drew
u blank Irving for buss but perch
and sunfish were hitting. This pond
Is very high , In fact about tho
highest I have over soon It.
