Comfy. Frank Campbell, Dennis Connell.
Paul Beecher. Charles Campbell, Ben
Farrell and father, spent last Sunday
at Bowers Beach and caught about
thirty crOakers. They report having
had a good time. but FISH rather scarre.
Captains of the fishing boats report
that the fish at this favOrite place
have not been running as they should
and very few large catches have been
made by the hook and line anglers
for the past few weeks. Anglers are
coming 90 this resort so numerous on
weekend trips that the captains Of
the fishing boats are having their hands
full trying 20 accommodate the trade.
Very favorable reports are coming
from Lewes and the fishermen are max
ing some heavy hauls Of croakers.

Frank Campbell, who made the trip
TO Bowers Beach last Sunday. came
very near being pulled out Of the boat
he was fishing from. The mighty
strike proved 10 be a shark that had
connected with Franks hook. The
boys are quietly thinking that Frank
was using tho famous gum-drOp bait.
as he refused 10 tell them Just what he
was batting with So pleased was he
with his catch that he brought the.
shark home with him. The shark. OF
the hammer head species. will no
doubt be put through a course OF
pounding rlvets, and when thoroughly
trained no doubt he and the owner
will be trying their skill at one % the
boaiyards.
