Very few OF the regulars made an!
trips TO the favorite fishing "holes'
last weekend, and those who did wer,
not rewarded with any large catches
The anglers were much pleased with
the few days rain this week, and al
the weather is much cooler. no doubt
the bass and pike will start 10 make
things interesting While the game
fishing has been so poor for the pasi
few weeks, most OF the anglers have
been making trips TO Augustine and
Bowers Beach. Large catches OF
croakers have been made in a few
hours and the anglers as a rule. have
been well repaid for their trip. Della
ware bay fishing is becoming quite
popular with the local anglers and
catches as high as 200 crOakers in a
few hours, have been made. Trout are
coming in now, but not very many at
the present time. As soon as the trout
come in large schools the crOakers
leave. Later In the season, the anglers,
by going out a considerable distance
may enjoy some real fishing in the
