anglers are putting ia full days at the

Brsndywino creek at Wilmington, and
every day big catches are reported. The
fish are unusually large The best time
TO fish for rock Is in the morning, before
the sun is high In the sky. or In the
evening just after the sun has set.
Shrimp Is principally used as bait.
Pike and yellow neds' are making
great sport for the anglers In the Della

pike are enormous in sizo. On Monday
James T. Scott, of Wilmington, caught a
pike that was 20i inches in length.
