New Castle, March 19.-shsd fishermen
OF this city had poor results yesterday,
although the river was lined with fishing
slxiffs and naptha launches. The highest
boat brought in twenty-five large shad
and several brought in from six to ten. !
The majority Of fishermen from this city |
brought their boats from Bridgeton, n. ]. |
and other points along the river. The
boats We're in bad condition and many Of
them had TO be hauled ashore and calked
up, which causes a delay Of two or three
days.
The shad are bringing very good prices, |
but not many of them caught by the New
Castle men reach out-of-town people, as
the wharf is crowded with people waiting
for tho boats to come in, so they can pur-
chase the FISH at the beginning Of the sea-
son.
The men are not getting discouraged at
the small catches at the startling Of the
season. They say the catches are more
than double the amount last year In
lanother week all the fishermen will be in
readiness for the rush.
