Weakhsh in Jamaica Bay.
The weakhsh sure are In Jamaica Bay
this year Catches of twenty to thirty to
the boat are so common at the present
time that anything under that number
causes more comment than catch or
considerably more would.
Almost anywhere in any Of the numer-
Gus channels in the bay fish can be caught.
but of course there are certain spots
known to the elect that the hsh seem to
favor. and II you are rtgged out In one
OF these places several hours of the finest
kind of sport Is certain.
Recently. guided by young joe Hauer
OF Ramblersvile. we chugged out of the
creek few hours before high water, de-
termlned to beat his catch OF ATTY fish to
the boat Of the week before. and quietly
anchored on the edge OF a channel fro
qu"nted by those game fighters.
We got nicely settled in our places. when
after a few minutes OF cumming Joe got
the FIRST strike. How those boys did hit
you A sharp strike and then the wild
rush OF the hsh. the light rod bending as
the fish tugged and darted. but his rush
usually ended in the landing net.
There were seventeen glistening beau
ties in the fish box In the boat when they
stopped biting. No amount OF chum
seemed TO start them, and We tried for
them close TO the boat and away off with
out result.
Joe was plainly puzzled until a few
hundred feet off tho stern OF tho boat ht
caught sight OF tho glistenins dorsaI fin OF
a shark.
