Charles Marsh are sounding the praises
of DR.. Fred B. Campbell. who last week
diagnosed their desires and prescribed
a fishing trip to Benedict.
ITO make certain that his patients
followed his directions said a friend
the physician accompanied them"
1t was one of those pleasant week
end affairs in which the quartet in
dulged, and the big catch they made
was sufficient to induce the three pa
tients to recommend their physician to
other persons. suffering from the fever
that suggests a trip to salt water and
the use Of rod and line.
Capt. Lawrence Carroll was the
party's boatman. He was more than
familiar with the game of fishing for
hardheads, members of the party said
and made frequent moves in order To
have his anglers meet with success
"It is necessary to make an occa
sional move in order to get hardheads,
the captain said.
"The captain was right" commented
4 member of the quartet when count
of the catch showed seventy-five hard
perch and spots and an endless num-
Der of cells.
The party left here Saturday after
noon, taking advantage of the hrst
Saturday ha1f-holiday. and were able to
land a dozen large fish before the ring
ing of the supper bell summoned them
to the hotel. An early start the next
morning put them on the river about
daybreak and 1t was a case of catch
ing one fish after another until it was
time to return home, stops in the sport
being made for breakfast and dinner.
Six rockfsh were included in the
string of fish, the largest Weighing Two
pounds, and Lewis carried of the prize
offered for the largest fsh. hard.
head that weighed three pounds. Chat
Towers, a stay-at-home, was made
present of the prize fish.
William W. Price, DIR. Arthur n Meloy
and John w. Hurley were among the
weekend outings at Rock Point. They
are enthusiasts with rod and line, do
not mind showing evidences of disap-
pointment and are ready to tell friends
when they have good luck.
More than satisfied" was their ver-
dict when they returned from their re-
cent outing with five long strings con-
tanning something more than 200 hsh.
An early start landed the sportsmen
at Rock Point shortly after daybreak,
hand with a supply of bait for them.
Capt Andy" as the boatman is known
along the Wicomico river. had been
fishing the day before and had fairly
good idea where the big hardheads
would be found.
"He found them for u.s." commented
Hurley.
The anglers hshed Shipping point.
Covington lump and other nearby
places, meeting with fairly good sue
cess. Buoy No. 10 was suggested by
Capt. Shymansky as place where some
"horses" might be found. the buoy
being in the direction of Colonial
Beach, and almost the instant the cap
tain dropped anchor there Price landed
a big fish.
A surprising part of the. catch was
the fact that toadfish and-eels were
not as troublesome as usual and that
a good catch of large spots was made.
the boatman saying it was rather early
for spots. One small trout completed
the catch. 1t was SO small. however,
that it was returned to the river Blood
worms proved to be as good bait for
the several varieties of fish Is did the
soft crabs and peelers.
"Why didn't you catch one like this

that weighed 1ully tHTee pOuHuS, lHe
first large fish of that species caught
this season.
Mrs. Hazleton accompanied her hus-
band on the trip, and the boats of the
two parties were on the Wlcomico
river near Rock Point. 1t was prof
liable and enjoyable weekend outing
for all hands.
Fishing was being done on an oyster
lump off Rock Point when the big
trout was landed. There were plenty
Ash in evidence that day. bait was
plentiful and the weather was all that
the anglers could desire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hazleton motored to the
resort Saturday afternoon and re-
mained over night, while the others
made an early morning run there.
Hardheads. perch, spots and eels were
caught in large numbers.
"A few toadfsh came along and took
our bait" said one of the sportsmen.
'.just to let US know they were there" ="
Members of the Typothetae of Wash
fngton had a joyous time on their an
nual outing at Benedict a week ago.
Prizes of all sorts and descriptions
were offered for the first, the largest
and the greatest number Of fish, but
there were so many sportsmen punched
in the boats that not much luck was
experienced.
