BOWERS BEACH

This place has been very quiet
since Labor Day with the exception of
the weekend just passed. On Friday
evening the rush begun, especially
with those who came for the purpose
of fishing, and continued from then
on until the place was alive with nim-
rods.
The report seemed current that
there were as many people and as
many automobiles here from a dis
tance as at any weekend during the
season.
Those who came for fishing were
a happy bunch when leaving on ac-
count of the extraordinary success
they had in their catches as well as
the quality of the fish caught and the
different specimen - even more so
than usual. Their catches consisted of
weak fish, crokers, blue fish or snap
ping mackerel, king fish, spots and
founders. And the quality and size
were fine. Some of the weakies or
trout tipping the scales as high as 8
pounds.
Those who are operating motor
boats from a distance are still here
and will remain the balance of the
month or longer as their patrons as
sure them that they will be here each
weekend so long as the fish take the
hook so freely.
Then again, the boats that belong
here would not be able to accommO-
date but a small per cent of the fish
ermen that come for that purpose
should they continue to come at the
week-ends in large numbers as they
have been coming for the two months
past.
This place has well established it.
self as one of the best places any
where along the Delaware bay, on
either side, being the nearest to the
fishing grounds, and the ample ac-
commodations and fair treatment Civ
en- all comers, has given the place a
good record and it will continue to
improve so long as such conditions
remain.
Those comers on fishing bent were
not all by any means who came here
the past weekend. The pleasure
seekers and those who indulge in and
enjoy the dance at the Bayview Hall
were here in large numbers on Satur-
day evening.
Sunday was great day here for
the pleasure seekers and joy riders
as the streets were comparatively
filled from morning until late in the
evening with cars, moving to and fro
all the time.
