for Tackle Experts
By FRANK O'DONNELL

Game denizens. of saline water re-
and reel fishermen last week than did
the trout in inland waters and nearby
coast streams. In fact the fortunate
few who were able to get away for a
visit TO distant resorts had trout fishing
pretty much to themselves and the ma
to the capture of striped bass and
quinnat salmon for diversion
Several light tackle fishermen, who
have been trying to connect with the
big salmon outside the harbor for sew
eral weeks. are about to be rewarded
for their persistency. Last Sunday FIVE
OF the big quinnats were taken by rod
and line fishermen off San Pedro and
as many more were taken in Bolinas
bay On Wednesday Charles Huls-
muller came into prominence as a
light tackle expert by landing a Sc
pound salmon in Bolinas bay after
about 40 minutes of strenuous work.
Hulsmuller was out with Doc" Wilson,
who is authority for the size of the
fish. which, by the way, comes near to
being a record one with hook and line
fishermen. Among others who were
outside after salmon during the week
were Fred Busey who got three good
sized fish; George NJ. Barnes. Doctor
Matson. DIR. r. L. Hursh, Bill Campbell
and Fred Nelson.
Fred Nelson, Chris Nelson and George
Barnes, all experts, were out on Tues
day and returned empty handed. while
Al Wilson. who usually gets fish when
no one else can, had similar luck on
Wednesday. the day Hulsmuller gated

son. has greatly enhanced interest in
the big fish among members of the
California anglers association.
The tidal inlets around the northern
portion OF the bay were-found good for
striped bass during the week. The
lagoon in back Of Tiburon yielded good
results every day. George Roberts,
Louis Gotthelf. j. Schweibe. "Parson
Jackson and w Boucher tried the la
goon on Sunday and all of them got
few weighing from three to five pounds.
Two prominent members Of the San
Francisco striped bass club failed to
show up q [ any of the bass resorts last
Sunday. preferring to go fishing for
rockcod with ordinary hand lines. In
the minds of other members their ac-
tion reflected gravelY on the club and
there was some talk OF wholesale resig-
nations, Charles Fl. Kewell being
among the disgruntled. The delin-
ouents were Emil Acceret and Charles
P. Landresse. president and former
president respectively

and Bill Hillegass We're on the san
Antoine slough for bass Sunday. Tidal
conditions were unfavorable and sport
was rather poor than otherwise. Hille-

however Charles Daiss and Mel Vogel
did better than any one else there,
both getting several fair sized fish.
William Malsberry, e. Palmer, H. Har-
mond, Joe Harding and Jim Lynch
were among the other visitors to the
flag station slough.
Doc Wilson recently returned from
the Truckee Wilson fished far down
the river and got s fish, aggregating
q pounds in weight, one day, and he
also creeled a Az pound cutthroat
trout, an unusually large specimen of
that fish for the .Truckee. Roscoe Ha-
vens made a catch of AZ on the grounds
of the Fly Casting club during the
week j. III. Cory is about to leave
for Tahoe for an extended vacation,
during which he will fish the lakes in
that region. Cap" HolliWay and
Thomas Emigh are about to leave for
the Big Sur and Little Sur streams,
which are said to be swarming with
steelhead Steelhead fishermen found
sport good at Pescadero.
Black bass are plentiful in the
streams and sloughs throughout the
san Joaquin valley. The fish are easily
taken with natural minnows, according
TO Billy Street. but the lure is harder
to get than the bass. Hugh Copeland
has been fishing for black bass near
Middle river several times recently and
