State ski championships to be held at North Webster

I By MITCHELL STINSON Staff Writer The North Webster Ski Bees will reach a water skiing milestone Sunday when they host the State Show Ski championships for the first time Ski Bees Show Director Jan McLaughlin said invitations have been sent to five other Indiana ski clubs, most of which are from the Steuben County area. As of press time, the list of participating teams was not yet confirmed. The Hamilton Lake team had committed itself to attending. however. Representatives from the Rockford, 111. Ski Brones will serve as judges for the various shows The Ski Brones were the No 2 ranked show ski team in the nation last year Skiers will be Fishing lily pad crankbaits Crankbaits — those big-billed bass lures that look for bass at depths down to 20 feet — aren't just for deep water. They're effective in shallow water, too. and even in hook-grabbing vegetation "Os course, you have to be careful how you use a crankbait in shallow vegetation." explains Johnson Outboards' pro staff member Fredda Lee. "but with a few adjustments in your fishing style you can bring a crankbait right through heavy cover. “One of my favorite places to fish crankbaits is in fields of lily pads where fish hide around the stalks." “By reading the cover," the popular angler explains, "I mean learning to look for smaller patches of lily pads, little avenues or runways through those pads, and points along the edges of the pads. "Basically, you read lily pad fields just like you read grasslines or standing timber." the Johnson pro continues. "Look for something a little different rather than trying to fish the entire field of pads Pay attention to the bottom, too. and look for a depth change." Lee s crankbait choice in a lilypad field is a smaller model, usually one with a short, squared bill. She doesn't want a deeprunning lure because she believes most lily pad bass are suspended only a foot or two below the surface "The key to fishing a crankbait through pads." she says, "is a very slow, deliberate retrieve. Use your rod tip to help guide the plug through the cover, and stop reeling periodically just to make the lure appear more like a baitfish stopping to rest "If the lure snags, give some slack line, then jerk your rod sharply upward The lure's hooks, rather than digging deeper into the lily pad stalk, will split the stalk and pull free." For this type of fishing, Lee uses 12- to 17-pound test line and a fairly stiff rod. The heavier line also helps her bring big bass out when she hooks them
