PORK RIND FOR BAIT 123 



HUNT WHERE THEY FEED 



Of course with pork rind bait, as with any other 

 lure, you must know something about the feeding 

 places of the fish and where to find them. In the 

 early morning or late evening, when the bass are 

 close in shore or looking for a meal in a patch of 

 weeds or around an under-water brush heap or wind- 

 fall, you can drop a pork rind bait in the right spot 

 and be almost certain of a strike. With a weedless 

 hook you can shoot the bait into an open pocket in 

 the weeds where other lures cannot well be used. 



For pickerel or pike use a small dipsey sinker to 

 take the bait down deeper to where these fish hang 

 out. Pork rind can be used by itself as a bait but 

 a spoon or spinner adds to the attraction and you 

 might as well get the benefit of this old reliable end 

 of the tackle outfit. 



A well-known " been there " fisherman of Pardee- 

 ville, Wisconsin, H. P. Thompson by name, who is a 

 great little advocate of the fat and juicy pork as a 

 winner among the baits, puts it this way; u If you 

 want to catch fish, and make the other fellow wonder 

 how you do it, use pork, just plain pork, without the 

 beans." Not half bad, old man, only I say, use the 

 pork for bait, and use the beans to stuff the feed bag.
