Fishing in Lower Chesapeake.
The hardheads or croakers, the
early visitor to salt water fishing
grounds adjacent to Washington still
are being caught in large numbers.
These fish have furnished unusual
sport for anglers this season. But,
as in every other sport, one gets
tired of doing the same thing over
and over again and the hardhead
fisherman longs for the time when
the big sea-trout make their appear
ance. These fish have commenced
their annual visit.
Hampton Roads is enjoying the
best early summer fishing in many
years. The best sport at present is
side of the Rip-Raps (Fort Woody
for grey trout. Large catches are
reported. and the fish seldom run
under five pounds.
| The bouy marking the lower edge
of York Spit bar affords the best fish
large trout, croaker, spot. hogfsh,
sea- mullets. black bass and founders
are caught in great numbers. The
fishing is best on the first Of the
flood tide and up to high water. The
cross currents from Bay. York river
ana hampton roduS prevent Strouk
tides. and it is not necessary to use
heavy sinkers.
Crabs are reported exceedingly
plentiful in and about Hampton roads
this season.
Severela excellent catches are re-
ported from Lake Smith. the seining
of the lake two years ago having had
no appreciable effect on the game
fish. Bass are running to usual
size, from one to three pounds. and
it is not rare to land a six FOUNDER.
Experiments with surf casting at
Der Of enthusiasts for this sport and
some very good catches have been
reported.
The deepest. deep sea fishing hon.
ors belong to Inspector C. l. Grant
and Detective Edward Kelly of the
local police force, who are in Cali
,fornia on business trip. They
motored thirty miles to the ocean and
decided to fish deep. selecting a place
where 1t took two hundred and forty
eight feet of line to reach the bottom.
Kelly soon had big strike and COM
menced to pull his catch to the sur
face. He had hooked two ten-pound
of the hardest jobs of his life to
haul in his catch.
In spite of the bad weather July
4. thirty motor boats left Rock Point

catches.

a large number of hardheads, spot

Reports from Annapolis and yicin-
ity report that while reasonable
variety of fish are being caught. the
rock is furnishing the best sport.

This is a realization of a dream
which the pioneers of the sport per-
mitted themselves at the first tourna-
ment, but which, down deep in their
heart they regarded solely as a dream.
Other Events Are Added.
The first national clay target tour
nament was rightly named "the
grand American handicap At that
time the distance handicap, in which
the contestants shot from yard marks
in accordance with their known abil-
ity, was the feature; in fact, the only
event. But as the tournament be-
came more popular and the entries
increased other events were added,
and in recent years there has been
championship contests in the several
class of shooting.
This year, for example. the cham
pionship of North America at single
targets is expected to be on par
with the grand American handicap
in the matter of interest and the
number of entries, because any man
or boy, woman or girl who is rated
as an amateur is eligible to enter this
event and may win the title.
Another event which will rival the
grand American handicaD> will be

the contestants will be divided into
five classes in accordance with their

On another occasion Tiny invented
the stunt of borrowing yards. This
occurred in game in which team
was backed on it's goal line and
wanted to punt. But the fence was
only six yards behind the goal. There
was no room for the kicker. So Tiny
after due deliberation induced the
captain of the other team to loan the
kicking eleven ten yards, to be paid
back later. This was forgotten un-
til the lending team had the ball on
the other ,eleven's Vineyard line.
Remembering then, the captain
claimed a touchdown. and 1t took all
of Tiny's persuasiveness to talk the
man into waiting for a more logical
time for repayment.
