SHAD FISHING


shad fishing was. good in the Bay last
week, but because Of SO many moss
bunkers many Of the fishermen came
home. Some brought their cabins with
them while others left their cabins with
the expectation Of going back. Many
have remained and fished in the River
this week.
The catch has been good this week.
On Monday MuDyau & Murphy caught
2lo. The best nets have caught from
100 to $50 a day this week.
The price has been steady at Sl2 a
lOO this week. The cool weather and
rains have helped the catch and price
of shad.
Easter came unusually late this year
and during Lent Catholics eat more
fish. Every day was a fast day this
week. Lent being over and a few
warm days will cause the price to fall
after this week.
Our sturgeon fishermen cleared for
Bay Side this week. On Tuesday
Harry Dalbow, of the firm OF Dalbow &

Thursday. D. p. Leonard left on FRI
day.
Edw. S. Harris, President of the Shad
Fishermen's Association, has had some
valuable work done for the accomada-
tions of the fishermen. He visited
Commander Train of the Lighthouse
establishment and got him to order the
two new buoys removed opposite
Penn's Grove, which interfered with
the drift of the shad nets. He also
communicated with C. W. Raymond,
Major Corps of Engineers, and through
him got Morris & Cummings Dredging
Company to conline their dredging OPP
erations 10 the upper part Of Dan Bak-
or Shoal until May goth. They did In
tend to put n or two dredges on
Duck Creek flats, about Z miles farther
down the Bay which would have great
ly interfered with the drift of the Bay
shad fishermen. Major Raymond said,
1 greatly regret that our work should
ever interfere with the fishing, and you
may be sure that 1 shall use every
effort to make the interference as small
as possible" Mr.. Harris's efforts In
behalf of fishermen are praiseworthy.

And when you see it full and round,
Know Easter'll be here o
After the moon has reached its full,
Then Easter will be here,

And if it hap on Sunday
The moon should reach Its height,
