High frequency sounds, such as those made by outboard motors passing through water, seem not to bother fish. But let a paddle hit the side of a boat, and fish in the immediate area are spooked. Sounds can also be used to attract fish. Some of the newest lures that have come to the attention of the Mercury fishing department have hollow bodies with interna objects that rattle when the lure is retrieved. Another way to put sound to work for you is to cast your lure beyond where the fish is thought to be, and retrieve it over him. If you put the lure exactly on the fish, its sound hitting the water will probably frighten him away.

Thompson, pack OUTDOOR Fish ears are internal, with no external opening or ear drum. Sounds in the water pass through skin, flesh and bone to reach the ear. Does this mean fish ears arent sensitive? No, say the experts. Fish hear at ranges below and above what humans can hear, for example. And fish are able to identify sounds as dangerous or attractive. In addition, they possess a second hearing system along the lateral line which senses vibrations in the water and passes this information along to the brain. How sensitive is this dual hearing system? Tests have shown that some fish know when you stand up in a boat. And they can definitely tell when you drop an object m a boat. To overcome this, many anglers pad their boats with outdoor carpeting to RAVING A BEAUTY IS OFTEN ' THE ONE WHO came in SECOND IN A BATHING BEAUTY CONTEST. with FIRST SECURITY number of ducks The estimated to be breeding in the United States North-Centr- and western Canada during May appears to have increased about eight percent over last year, according to the first of two annual aerial and ground surveys of duck breeding grounds conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Canadian Wildlife Service, and Ducks Unlimited. The outlook calls for a better than average year for the number of young ducks hatched if normal rainfall prevails on the breeding grounds, but no firm fall flight forecast can be made until August. Another survey will be taken during July to estimate the number of young hatched by breeding parents. During both of these surveys a critical factor monitored is the number of ponds dotting this glaciated landscape, which is referred to as North Americas duck SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBFR 482-03-90- 57 Signature factory.
