A. r. Lamb and Daniel Clewell went to
the vicinity of Sycamore Island for a
weekend outing. They were prepared TO
make the bass know they we're on hand.
Good bait and all kinds of tackle were
theirs. they worked hard, but not a bass
came their way.
Not even soft crabs would attract the
bass. The crab bait did attract the Mis-

and a perch also were caught.

Milton Hopfenmaier surprised fisher
men several days ago with a catch he
made while fishing near the mill race in
Georgetown. Batting with bloodworms,
the angler awaited patiently the time
when rockfish would come along and
give him fight
He was not on the river long before he
felt something Juggling at his line. His
reel clicked at a lively rate and the an
gler got busy. He was several minutes
making a landing and was surprised to
find he had hooked a four-and-a -ha II
pound rockfish and a three-pound eel.
Hafenmaier used three hooks. The eel
had taken the middle hook, while the
bottom hook held 1t securely by the tail.
Charles V. Belaski of the bureau of en-
craving and printing caught n small
mouth bass weighing five aud onc-quarter
pounds some days ago while at Penni-

the Potomac river this season. He caught
the fish with spoon.

Great Falls was the starting point last
Sunday for fishing trip that was en-
1oyed by Robert Barry. Remaining at
Great Falls over night and taking his
boat to the starting point early in the
morning Barry fished the five miles with
out much effort. There was current
enough in the river to take his boat along
and about all he had to do was to steer
away from the rocks.
The five-mile stretch was made in easy
stages. the angler meeting and passing
others who also were trying for bass.
Every angler he passed was able to show
two or more fish. Some also had Mis-
SlSSlppl CdtISn on IHelr Strings.
When the Virginia side OF the river at
Great Falls was reached Sunday evening
the angler was able to produce string
of nine small-mouth black bass. the larg
est weighing trifie short of four pounds.
1t was voted the best string of bass that
had been caught there with live bait this
season.
III. f. Stunkel and Lindsey Stunkel, his
