OF the guides ran across a small six Inch
weaknsh on one OF the shoals on Wednes:
day and a small dead weaknsh was found
any amount of these small weaknsh In
the bay and he figures that they will re-
main. He states further that these small
fellows will be q foot long before tire end
of the season.
Goegel was in d humorous mood, ant
said IL these weakhsh do go out they will
be gobbled up by the big fish. and that
|! they at least have some chance by staying
In. He went on TO say that weakhsf
hIye they they win Tb ss
| are no doubt some Of the larger weakhsf
| in the bay. but the weather has not beer
conducive to trying for them.
