The Goldfish are still lingering in the
waters off North Jersey, although they
left the lower grounds some weeks ago,
Last week n 42-pound cod was caught
at KlondIke Banks, off Spring Lake.
Others running from to l2 pounds were
picked up with the blackflsh that are
plentiful now. while great schools of ling
have made their appearance, and catches
running up to more than 100 fish to the
man have been made.
Jack Whatton and Claude HolGatc. of
Newark, will journey to Corson's Inlet on
Labor Day to surf fish for channel bass
Whatton opened the season last year by
catching two bass the last week in May.
Both weakfsh and blues already have
made their appearance in North Jersey
waters. Word was received yesterday
from BarneGat Bay, the Shrewsbury
River. and even as far north as Raritan
Bay. that the meters are getting bushels
of these fish.
Although they have not as yet begun
to take hook, they will probably do so
I'm another week, as soon as they finish
spawning. II is exceptionally early for
these fish to come in in that section OF
the State, and baymen predict long and
most successful season.

The pier at Ocean City, which is being
built for the exclusive use OF members
OF the ocean city Fishing Club, is now
400 feet out from the approach, and when
completed will extend 500 feet from the
boardwalk The pier is located at l4th
street and crosses the fine gulley that is
out about $50 feet, and when completed it
will extend beyond the outer bar into the
second gulley This should give excellent
sport for the members, as a great variety
OF fsh can thus be angled for, depending
on what position the angler may take.
When completed It will be the finest pier
belonging to any club along the Atlantic
coast. ocean City always has had its
share OF fine game fishing. and excellent
reports should be forthcoming from the

Fresh Water Fishing

Tho trout season for PENNSYLVANIA has
been rather slow, because of the cold
snap and the low conditions of the
streams, and now after the present warm
spell, and the recent rains, the streams
have risen, and the trout have come out
of the deeper holes and should by now
be rising TO the fly. 1t would no doubt
early season to give his favorite stream
another try.
This week has brought in reports of
fair catches of rainbow and brook trout
from the Paradise Valley region in Mon
roe County. Broadyhead Brook, running
from Cresco through Henryville to An
alomink and its tributaries, Goose Pond
Run. Spruce Cabin Run, Buckhill, Middle
Branch and Lewis Branch, will afford ex-
cellent hy fishing TO the angler. Es-
pecially is this so of Stony Run, that
joins 1t below.
1t is always able to supply the Al rod
with full creel, yet is one OF the most
difficult streams in Monroe County to
fish, and for this reason is frequently
avoided by the amateurs.
Northampton County should prove popu-
lar TO the fisherman not caring TO journey
far from the city, as fair catches were
reported earlier In the season when con-
ditions were not as favorable as might
be expected, especially around Easton ana
Bethlehem.
ties also have their trout streams that
the average angler is not aware OF and
are well worth looking up.
Last year, the Perkiomen was stocked
with fair-sized small-mouthed bass They
were not the usual fingerlings In size and
until the bass season opens II would be
well to keep this stream in mind.

Surf Fishing

An association of surf angling clubs
was formed In New York city last week
at n dinner given by the members of the
Asbury Park Fishing Club. The dinner
was attended by delegates from Ocean
City. Asbury Park, Belmar Midland
Reach Club. Ocean and Stream Fishing
Club of Newark and the Anglers Club OF
New York
They style themselves THE Assocla-
tlon of Surf Angling Clubs" and have
anal gamated TO form this powerful or
Gnnlaation which at the present time has
a membership OF 200
The National Association of Scientific
Angling clubs sent as its delegate the
past president. DR. j. F.. Held OF New
York. All differences. real or imaginary
that existed between his association and
the surf angling clubs OF tho Atlantic
coast undoubtedly will be settled to the
satisfaction of all the clubs at an early
date, through the efforts of the new or
ganization.
The conference was held at the initial
suggestion OF DR.. Carlton Simons present
holder OF the worlds record for surf
casting, and sponsored by the AsNry
Park Fishing Club. Fixed rules We're
formulated for surf casting tournaments
and the weights of lines. dlpseys and
length OF rod were standardized, The
oficers elected were: President, Churchill

club; vice president. Elvin c. Burtis. As

treasurer, DR.. Carlton Simons, Midland

especially on Sundays, while the fishing
season has been slack.
Heretofore men have entered tho tour
raments with the same line they have
been fishing with, viz. an is or 2l-thrcad
line. This. however. has been changed,
and now the men wishing to enter the
tournaments this summer must be as
careful of their lines and reels az an
aviator just prior to his flight. The lines
In vogue at the present time are one
third as heavy as the primary fishing
l.ne. Tho best ones for this purpose arc
a . or 10 special, perfectly smooth and
without sizing. owing to this careful
attention the record has been repeatedly
broken in the last five years
Tho mark OF $40 feet made by Billy
Moran, of the Asbury Park Club stood
for more than six years, until it was
broken by Jack Clayton at the annual
tourney at Asbury Park. with a throw
of 34S feet. This held for only a short
time when it was again broken by Dr.
Carlton Simon with u heave of $40 feet
G inches.
Doctor Simon, Of the Midland Beach
Club, in practice this spring, has sent the
four-ounce lead 372 feet in practice, and
his prediction made last summer of MAX
ing the 40O-mark bids fair to be realized
before the season closes.
The Ocean City Fishing Club last year
held its first annual tournament, in which
the worlds record was broken by Doctor
Simon. These men should make an eX-
Cellent showing this summer at the
different meets along the coast as their
best casters show enormous strides.
Churchill Hungcrfords best cast last
year was 235 feet, this spring, 2S5 feet;
Frank Stewart last year, 90 feet, this
year 255 feet; Charles McGinnis cast last
year. 245 feet, this year 800 feet George
Smitheman last year, 23S feet. this year
2S7 feet.
or course, this years casts were made
In practice, as the tournaments will not
be held until later In the season.
Victor ]. Hamilton last year made the
record cast of the club. 355 feet MIR.
Hamilton is a novice at this sport and
should, with a little practice, break into
the top class.

High water for local angler,
Salt Water News

From reports along the Atlantic coast
the fish have begun to arrive in large
numbers in the bays and inside waters.
Weakfsh. tautog king and founders
were caught last week in the bays.
At Ship John Light. Delaware Bay,
many croakerS were taken. TautoE or
blackfish have made their appearance
outside. and this week should see many
fishermen journeying to Anglesea, Grassy
Sound, Somer's Point and elsewhere along
the Jersey coast.
A few blackhsh were caught In the
early part of the season outside along
with the cod. but they really make their
appearance inshore along in May, and
spawn in June. 1t Is just before their
spawning season that they are of the
best flavor, and can be found along the
mussel beds pilings, reefs, rocky ledSes
and hugging the old wrecks off shore.
The clammers and oyster men report
the annual devastation OF their beds by
the red and black drum this means the
drum have arrived from the Southern
waters, and while the schools at present
are scattered. they should In another
week make their appearance i'm the surf.
A few stripers were taken in Delaware
Bay by line fishermen. and large catches
were made by the net fishermen. This
was a week ago and by now they should
be taking the hook.
Mr. j. Warren, Of Point Pleasant, NJ j.,
reports that the striped bass are in the
surf. Five already have been taken at
that point,
Ern Brautigan. Bert Godall and Joe
Bins are motoring tomorrow to Fortes-
cue, Delaware Bay, to spend the week
end angling for stripers. They will fish
the mouths of tidewater creeks hoping TO
catch the stripers on their way to and
from the spawning beds
Doctor RICHTER and Doctor Reynolds, OF
Philadelphia, will journey TO Surf City
this weekend, to cast for striped bass.
