BLUEFISH ABOUND
In STATES WATERS


Reports from around the bay late
Iv are to the effect that there should
soon be good angling for bluetish,
game fish that is common in the
ocean at this saSon, but which sell
dom comes far up the bay.
That there should be good sport in
getting bluefish is Indicated by the
enormous schools of menhaden that
have lately been seen in Maryland
waters 1t is always accepted that
the bluefish. which is fond of devour-
ing its neighbors, not only for TODD
put also for the sport of the thing,
Will follow the schools of menhaden
long distances. so that they are be
lieved now TO be in the wake of these
menhaden schools, which are of enOr-
nous size and many in number. Pas
sengers arriving on steamers say
they could see them Jumping out or
the water down below the PatuXent
and off the mouth of the Potomac.
At this season rock or sea bass
iShing should be nearly at its best,
though many anglers make their Dig
| catches in September. Wnen they
are running Kent Island Narrows -
favorite place for the big fellows,
and that there should be some gooG
! ones over there is Indicated by the
experience of a net fisherman in Eas,
ern bay, who last winter scooped up
lot of the, old fellows, weighing
from 10 to 20 pounds. In the Severn
the rocISnare biting to some extent,
though laA they may be better IN
| In they Patapsco rock OF any size
seldom come up nearer the city than
the White Rocks, off the mouth OF
Stony creek, and there in past sea-
sons some fine ones have been taken.
! Perch, white and yellow. are now
to be caught off Fort Carroll, off the
Rocks, and on the banks off Dundalk.
Some good catches of white perch
have been reported in this vicinity
the last few weeks.
On account of the sewage-dispoSal
plant the fishing in Back river has
been injured, but Middle river has
not been hurt, and there are to be
found white and yellow perch.
! Persons residing around Curtis
Bay blame the chemical and other
plants there for the decrease in the
fish that might be caught with nook
and line. Time was when good fish
ing could be had in Spring Gardens.
but factories long ago ended that, ,and
only crabs now come up that far
and the schools of little fellows.
The fisherman whuswants to take a
whole day or two days off is likely
to go to the neighborhood of Pooles
Island, but he must know just the
right spots to anchor his boat and
cast out his line. For if he does not
know the spots he will spend his
time for nothing.
Early in the season there We're
some fine seine hauls of rock in the
HaYre de Grace section. Above Hay-
re de Grace, where the water splasne-
over the rocks, the big sea bass ga
ther, and any day now fishing parties
are out for the best of the sport.
Reports from Solomon's Island say
fine trout fishing can be had off Ce.
dar Point. One party recently went
out early in the morning and came
in at 10 o'clock with about 50 fine
! ones.
