We're two disappointed bass nsherHiei'
on their weekend outing to Wevertoh
and Knoxville. Md; last week, al
though they had the good fortune 10
land twenty small-mout bass In two
days. After water conditions had been
unfavorable three or four weeks both
the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers
got better and some of the sportsmen
who had put away their rods and lines
took them out and renewed activities.
Hurley and Dulin started away Fri
day afternoon. fearing the conditions
We're too good to last long, and early
Saturday morning they were on the
river with George w. Leopold.
EARLY morning fishing was all right,
said Hurley. but in the afternoon the
rain came down and threatened to put
an end to our outing. We remained
on the river, however. and when we
finally went ashore we had a string
of seventeen fish
Sunday morning the two sportsmen
We're up a [ daybreak. The downpour
during the night had disheartened them
and when they saw the condition of
the water they We're about ready to
give up. They decided to continue their
efforts, and soon after breakfast they
were fishing the holes on the Virginia
side of the river.
And then the hurricane came" said
one of the anglers, land the hail beat
upon US until we were forced to ma ke

lated themselves that they We're once
more on land.
In spite of the severe weather stated
the anglers, three bass were caught
Sunday.
Fitzgerald. Lee e. kistler and Lee
Reeves recently We're proud poSseSSors
of one of the best filled game bags that
have been brought to the city from a
short outing this season. They killed
rabbits and birds enough to cover both
sides of their automobile and still be
able to keep out of the clutches OF the
game warden.
"Where did We go?" queried Tisinger.
That's another question. You see. the
game warden was hot on our trail al
though we had been invited to the
nearby state to ENJOY couple or days
outing with friends who resided there
But we got the game. he added,
pointing to "a photograph of eighty rab-
bits. fifty-seven quail and two wood
cock.
The trio left here late one afternoon
and toured to nearby county or an
adjacent state, going over the rough roads
Until thew reached the home of their host
Their dogs were taken along and 1t soon
was evident that birds and rabbits were
plentiful and great sport followed.
Then we were told that the game
warden was after US one of the gun
ners stated. land we headed homeWard

of the way

ing at Aqua. creek with a good string OF
Ash 1t was fortunate for them that
thew had their outing before the appear
ance of the severe storm along the coast
and the two days they were on the water
were ideal ones for the sport.
Cant Baumgarten got tired of waiting
for the upper Potomac 10 ciear: re IS
especially fond of fishing for small-mouth
bass, but when the gamesters are not TO
he bad he says, he is not going TO de-
prive himself of trips to the river
Fishing at Aqua creek and other places
along the railroad line had been SO good
that the captain and his friend decided
to try for a few plymouth bass and pike.
Going some distance from shore and an
choring on the fishing grounds, the an
glers son were able to listen to the music
of the reel. .
And it Is music well worm nearing,
says the angler.
Thirty-two pike and nineteen bass were
the result Of a days efforts on the part
of the pair. The largest PIKE weighed
three and one-half pounds and the larg-
est bass tipped the scales at three ana
one-fOurth pounds.
