HUNTING AND FISHING.

Information has been received that the
weakf1sh are on the Kearny flats In the
Raritan River. Perhaps they are, but we
do not know of anyone that has caught
them there. The Raritan River is a
spawning grodnd for the weak and blue
fish, and II they went up there for that
purpose thoy are, no doubt. in love with
the place and refuse to come out.
The Mount Desert Is going out to the
Cholera Banks and the anglers on board
can't help but get some big humpback sea
bass. Big huke are also being caught
out there, and td this accpSnts for the Popu,
Naegle Is working ON her, and the Newark
boys always feel at home where Hennie is.
Here Is funny one. The writer met a
prominent DelawaTe Water. Gap hotel
and asked what he was doing here. He
said that he had heard constantly from,
his boarders about the catching Of black
bass in Weequahic. Lake, and. ns he had
to 80 to Now York, he stopped Of here
and fished for just two hours, catching six
bass, and the smallest weighed two and
half pounds On the quiet he said that
1t had the Delaware skinned a mile"
but not to tell anybody.
Old reliable Sewaren Is doing better than
some Of the fishing resorts. and Aeker' 6
boats are bringing in few each day.
When they talk about the Graveyard at
Perth Amboy. there hasn't been a dozen
weakash caught there this season. As for
the Great Beds Light. 1t Is the same
Some OF Mrs. Gross's boats, at Keyport
have brought in few weakfish, and the
motorboats from Morgan's station that
go out and hunt them have had varying
luck. But it can't last, boys. and we are
sure to strike them in a few days, or else
the writer will sell out his fishing tackle
cheap.
