New castle. April 2i.-The second
week of the shad season IN the Dela-
ware river proved poor one for the
fishermen. and little money was clear
ed although the price Of fish remains
high
Many fishermen were unable to fish
the first two days of last week owing
TO the high winds and the run of shad
the last three days was poor on acc
count Of the storm on Wednesday and
cold weather. Ten hauls were made
with the big net at Gloucester last
week. and the largest haul was made
Saturday. when about 100 shad were
caught The other nine hauls did not
average more than fifty shad each.
Quite "a number OF rockhsh have
been caught in the big net one Of them
weighing more than ten pounds. Stur-
seon are still scarce. and thus far only
one has been caught.
William J. Thompson, Of Gloucester,
is considering the advisability Of OPEN
ing "A had-hatching station. to take
the place Of the United States Fish
Commission steamer Fish Hawk which
will not visit the Delaware river this
season.
