Poor Last Week

Fishing is bad. Everybody says so,
except AL Green of Playa del Rey.
Green is the proprietor of a fish tackle
store at Playa del Rey and his state
ment that fishing has been good Tor
the past week has caused inquiries
from many anglers as to the kind OF
bait he uses. His only reply to the
many inquiries was Come and see.
Several boys from Hoegees sporting
goods house went to Playa del Rey last
Saturday and asked Green to show
them how he caught the fish. Green
did not show them, but told them the
story. He said
EVERY evening, after the crowd
leaves the pier, l take my photograph
and place it upon the end of the pier.
Then / begin to play sentimental melo-
dies, such as Where Is MY wander
ing Boy Tonight?' Take Me Back to
Dear Old Georgia and In the Even
ing by the Moonlight You would be
surprised to see how those fish, mil
lions of them, come to the surface and
fairly kill each other in an endeavor
to catch a strain of the music. keep
the photograph going for about an
hour and then go out in my boat and
pick them from the top of the water
by the hundreds. You see, the music
sort of hypnotizes them and they re-
main in that condition for about an
hour
G. Mccall was one of those who lis
tened to this strange tale and as soon
as he returned to Los Angeles he
bought large monograph and then
asked for a weeks vacation. He said
he, was going to Clemente island and
fish with photographic bait.

The poor fishing that has been the
| rule for the past week has been
charged to the bright moonlight nights.
Some fishermen are of the opinion that
the fish feed at night by the light of
| the moon and will not "bite" in the
daylight.
Ed Hedderly still is ignorant of the
name of the fish that he nearly"
caught at Sunset Beach couple OF
weeks ago. Yesterday he endeavored
to draw the fish and show a crowd of
anglers who had gathered at the
Western Arms and Hardware company
how he was marked. When he got
through with the drawing, one OF the
bystanders suggested that 1t might be
''cow with fms, judging from the
drawing"

member where they got their best hunt-
ing last year and will go to their old
haunts,
