Excellent Fishing In Jamaica Bay.
Charles Noehren Of Goose Creek says that
now is excellent. and that good messes of
nsh are being taken away every day by
.ne happy fishermen. There is new run

Bend, at Black Wall, In Big Pol and at
Broomstick Point A Mr.. Hensen had a

There are quite some porgies in the bay
and a few lsfayettes running from u half
10 three quarters of pound. Crabs are
very plentiful. but they are not yet
spawned out. Mr.. Noehren says that per-
sons fishing for crabs should be sure to
with eggs sticking to them. Every crab
OF this Kind that Is kept means the death
OF hundreds of small crabs Catch all the
crabs you want. but be sure to throw back

| Wreck Lead and East Rockaway.
| Weak fishing at Wreck Lead during last
week has been exceptionally good 1t
has been many years since such large
numbers have been landed and the Ash
have been big fellows, some weighing not
less than pounds. The average weight
has surely been not less than ~ pounds.
| The size Of the FISH has surprised even
1t must be admitted, however, that the
| fishermen who use from lve to seven
the chaps who land the most fish. The
| fisherman who starts out with quart of
| shrimp Is lucky II he lands more than
| three or four fish. Chum. chum, chum. and
more chum, until one gets the FISH behind
the bont-then the fun begins.
Regarding the big boats that GO outside
| from Wreck Lead the truth should be told.
Some days they return with loads OF sea
bass and porgies. On other days they re-
turn with very few fish During last
days have not been much to boast about.
| However. one can never tell whether the
nsh will be in evidence Tomorrow or next
ter" business every day during the fishing
season.
