Sunday proved to be a lucky day
at Deep Cove for party headed by
Colin c. White. who lead the way
down to the fishing grounds and con-
tinuea to lead in landing fish. The
party started fishing about $3.50 in
the morning and by 10 o'clock had
all the hardheads they could bring
| home. Not only was the catch large.
but the fish were reported to be as
/ large as any taken from this place
in years. Those making the trip
were Colin c. White, George w. Mil
Ter. Raymond Richardson. c. A. Lin

Large catches of hardheads continue,
the pyize being as great as are ever
caught in those waters. 1t~is report

and as many as hundred big fish
are often caught in two or three
hours by one fisherman.
Several good catches of rock, and
some perch are reported. though most
of the fishing is being done for hard
heads. Peelers are being used almost
exclusively for bait at present. Hard
heads are being caught in all waters
contiguous to Annapolis. including
the West and Rhode rivers and Herr
ing bay sections.
Chesapeake Beach furnished mighty
good fishing Saturday, Sunday and
Tuesday. Memorial day. for local
anglers. While the honorS were fair
from the boats and those who al
ways prefer to take their. changes
on the long pier. it remained for
the boys who visited the oyster bars
in the boats to bring in the long
strings A remarkable feature of the
large size, many of those brought in
from the deep water compare with
ahad in size. This fact is supported
by Charles B. Zurhorst, who dis
played a string of them last week
that were whoppers. .,
Both Saturday and Sunday nights
there were six boatloads that went
out to the fishing grounds for the
all-night catches. On Sunday there
were as many more. that went OUT

of a jolly trio from the city-C. w.

the beach last week and returned
with strings of twenty-five each.
