Sound fishing in general is gradually
improving as the season advances and
the Turing bait of the angler is captur-
ing large numbers of the finny tribe.
Most of the fish caught are of a small
fry but a number of successful weak
fish catches are being made every week.
All signs point favorable to the rapid
increase of weak fish in the sounds.
One of the surest signs is in the fact
that the fish are biting tremendously in
the Delaware Bay and unusually large
numbers of weak fish are caught daily.
AS is usually the case, fishing improves
in the sounds after large catches are re-
ported in the bay. The principal handi-
cap of the fishermen this year is the
scarcity of crabs, the best weakfish bait.
This scarcity is not simply local but
seems to be the general cry. AT Fortes-
cue, the famous fishing resort on the
bay shore, seven barrels of crabs have
been used for bait this season all shipped
from Virginia at a big expense, SO
scarce have been the crabs there where
usually hundreds of them can be
caught. Men who are eagerly watch
ing the conditions here state that crabs
are making their appearance in en-
couraging numbers and if this contin-
ues there will o o be grabbing parties
galore.
