John W. Hurley responded to the
call of the small-mouth black bass a.
Weverton and Sandy Hook Sunday and
made a great score, being the only
local angler this season to report a
catch of the gamesters. Unfortunately
for the angler he was prohibited by
law from bringing the fish into the
District. the law closing the season
from April / to Decoration day.
Fourteen genuine small mouth bass
yielded to the enticing bait taken to
the upper Potomac by the enthusiastic
angler, the largest weighing g. fraction
under six pounds, and all Of them big
enough to furnish fine sport. His boat
man caught eleven.
"A three-and- lone half FOUNDER az
forded the greatest sport of the bunch "
the angler told his friends, 'and not
one fish swallowed the bait"
There was disappointed lot Of
friends Monday morning when they
learned Of the fine catch that had been
made and did not get fish.
THE picture will have to do this
time" he told them, but when the
season opens 1t will be different"
The veteran angler had arranged to
give the white perch at Fletcher's q
trial Sunday. but Saturday afternoon's
mail brought this message:
Water in splendid condition.; bass
biting freely; better come up"
who could resist such a message?'
the angler asked. Monday is the last
day fishing, and there's nothing to 1t
tomorrow but Weverton. Sandy Hook
and the bass"
some of the oldest anglers along the
upper river admitted that the big fish
caught by the Washington angler was
the biggest small-mouth bass that had
been caught in that section in recent
years.
1t is believed that more than 500 an
glers were on the Potomac within
three miles Of the city last sunday
The perch season. 1t is thought. Is at
it's height, and local anglers took ad-
vantage Of 1t last Sunday, although the
weather in the early morning was not
just what 1t should have been to at
tract so many anglers to the river.
The cloudy weather Saturday night
dampened the ardor Of some of the an
glers and induced them to give up all
notion Of spending Sunday on the river.
but many Of the more enthusiastic
ones paid no attention to weather con-
ditions and were on the water at day
break.
Thousands Of white perch were taken
from the river Sunday. Not many OF
the fish were big. however. although
they were much larger than the aver
age run OF perch caught in this vicinity
during the past several years.
Many Mississippi catfish also were
