CHESAPEAKE FISHERMAN.

Susquehanna fisherman are very much
agitated by the operations of purse net fish

Testing the headwaters of the bay for
month or more past, taking rock fish or
striped bass. These fish work up the bay
in the early summer, and continue among
the falls of the river for many miles. furn-
ishing as fine rod and reel fishing as can be
had. About Octoraro many people are en-
gagged in rock fishing in a moderate way,
mostly by gill nets, and as a rule realize
good prices for the fish. But the enormous
catches Of the purse seines this summer has
tended to demoralize the market and rem
der fishing in the old way Improbable.
One day this week one Of the purse net
fishermen went into Havre de Grace with
twentyeight barrels, making fully three tons
of fish, which were caught in the vicinity of
Spesutia Island. There are eight or ten
outfits hailing from Rock Hall and vicinity,
engaged in the business. The operators

bunch of fish is taken One case is known,
about the Goth of June, where the school of
fish was so large that part of them had to
be turned out, and yet there were landed in
the seine six tons and half of striped bass.
1t is safe to say that during the past five
weeks at least thirty to forty tons of rock
fish have been taken by purse nets within
twenty miles of the mouth of the Susque-
hanna river, of which quantity possibly not
one-third would have been otherwise taken,
and for that third no doubt as much clear
money would have been realized.
The trawI fishing from Lapidum, on up
the river for number of miles, has for two
or three years been attracting anglers from
every quarter, so successful have been their
catches and so genuine their sport. 1t has
been an easy matter to land anywhere from
a dozen or so cf rock fish in day, but if
the purse net fishermen keep on the days of
the hook and line fisherman, or even of gill
net fishermen, will soon be over Cecil
