WHERE TO FISH

| ~ ALT WATER fishing was consid-
erably improved last week over
~ that of the week before, but was
still below the standard set by the reg
ulars, and there were more disappoint-
ing days than otherwise.
Both surf and yellow1n were running
freely at most of the beach resorts, but
were lazy at taking the hook, except in
the early morning and late afternoon
hours.
The west coast proved the better for
surf fishermen and for the anglers
after small fry, while Balboa Newport
and Huntington showed good results in
bass, halibut ond croakers.
Outside trolling was better than or
binary, and large catches of albicore,
bonita and barracuda were made, while
quite a number of Jewish were taken.
Probably the best catch of the week
was made by George K. Edwards and
Arthur Murphy, tourists from San
Jose who spent the day outside
Wednesday in the launch Eva with
Capt. Jack Mills. Three miles off the
Venice breakwater they hooked a sea
bass which proved a stubborn sulker
and took them one hour and fifty min
utes to bring to gaff. The big fish
weighed 27S pounds, and just about
wore the two amateurs out, neither
one having ever wet a line in salt wa
ter before, and, with light tackle, was
quite an achievement for them. Skill
full handling of the boat by Captain
Hills and intelligent direction on his
part probably aided the San Jose men
in successfully handling their catch.
Catalina fishing was up to par, but
a scarcity Of bait made the sport less
lively than usual. Conditions promise
to improve the coming week at the
magic isle, and there viii be a great
rush for the coming week of seekers
after buttons.
Tide Will be high Sunday morning at
10 o'clock, with rise to Al feet, and
low at 2:54 p. m, with drop to 81
feet, and high again at o'clock p. m,
with a rise to ga feet. The current in
the bays and channels will be brisk
both morning and evening, with the
best fishing probably in the early
morning and late afternoon hours.
