I'm going to get Jim Skeels at the drug store to order thim for me.
I know just how you do," said Jimmy flourishing the rod.
"You put on your bait and quite a heavy sinker, and you wind it up to the ind of your rod, and thin you stand up in your boat----" "Stand up in your boat!" "I wish you'd let me finish!--or on the bank, and you take this little whipper-snapper, and you touch the spot on the reel that relases the thrid, and you give the rod a little toss, aisy as throwin' away chips, and off maybe fifty feet your bait hits the water, 'spat!' and 'snap!' goes Mr.Bass, and 'stick!' goes the hook.
See ?" "What I see is that if you want to fish that way in the Wabash, you'll have to wait until the dredge goes through and they make a canal out of it; for be the time you'd throwed fifty feet, and your fish had run another fifty, there'd be just one hundred snags, and logs, and stumps between you; one for every foot of the way.
It must look pretty on deep water, where it can be done right, but I bet anything that if you go to fooling with that on our river, Dannie gets the Bass." "Not much, Dannie don't 'gets the Bass,'" said Jimmy confidently.
