over the week before. A storm at sea

and cold winds and choppy waves In
terfered with the anglers the latter
part of the week.
Surf fishing along the south coast
and runs of mackerel, jack smelt and
pompano along the west coast, We're
the features of the week. Sunset Beach,
Huntington Beach and Balboa were
the popular points during the week for
the surf fishers, and good catches were
made at all of these resorts.

the Newport wharf during the week,
and on Wednesday the first fish of the
season was taken on SO tackle, the
catch being made by William Golf, and
the fish scaled 10 pounds 4 ounces.
Pompano, jack smelt and Spanish
mackerel kept the fishermen at Re-
dondo busy the early part of the week,
and jack smelt were caught freely on
Friday. Louis Streuber, fishing with
clam bait and casting 200 feet out from
wharf No. 9, caught nineteen turbot
