PREP AIRING FOR
SHAD FISHING
New Castle Fishermen Are
Knitting Nets and Dis
cuSSing Outlook
y Special to the Evening Journal

. Special to the Evening Journal
New Castle, Feb Awhile the river
Us filled with ice, the one hundred
shad fishermen here are actively en-
gagged with their indoor preparation
for the opening of the season. about
the middle OF next month, and from re-
ports the probabilities are that more
men will be engaged in catching the
toothsome Delaware shad this Spring
than for several years back. This is
in great measure accounted for from
the fact that the sturgeon fishing in
dustry down the bay has been falling
of for several years, and, in the words
of an old-time fisherman, was almost a
dead letter. last year. A number Of
the sturgeon fishermen have already
announced their intention of rigging
out for shad this Spring.
Last year, despite the tremendous
catch Of shad the fishermen made but
little profit, owing to the prevailing
low market prices, and the problem of
better prices is one which the fisher.
men are hoping will find solution in
the adoption OF some new methods of
putting the fish on the market
Some of the fishermen have long con-
tended that shad. like most other fish
should be sold in the markets by the
pound instead Of by the hundred.
The one thing necessary with the
fishermen to bring the shad industry
to more profitable basis, according to
the statements of well-known "gilleTs.
is tC have thorough organization which.
it is claimed, would result in mere
uniform prices. The Protective Asso-
citation has saved the fishermen thou
sands of dollars through its influence
in matters Of vital importance to the
industry.
A number of the fishermen will adortI
fishing boats propelled by gasoline en-
ginos this Spring. Several were in use
last year and proved a valuable addi-
ton in the matter of saving time and
lah~-
Knitting ne's is now occupying much
of the time -f the fishermen. and with
in few weeks boats will be pulled out
of their Winter quarters for thorough
overhauling and repainting, prepara-
tory to making the first drift Of the
season, which is attended with unusual
interest
