6fueIl8n or IaliOES. one OF tne
garnest fish clans that visit orr
waters, are now on their annual pill
grimage and reports have It that
acres OF fish have been seen on
the surface feeding upon mem
hadens. Trolling, Of late, has be-
come favored sport for these
corded by anglers following this
arm Of the pastirne. Lee Heching-
er and Jack Kane made q record
catch of Eailors last Sunday, near
the mouth OF West river, when they
landed rs fish. ranging from to
az pounds. The fish were all
taken via the trolling route.
Hardheads or sea croakers Of
both medium and large size are
being boated along with the other
saltwater clans. While not being
classed as 4 fighting fish, never.
thelegs they are strong bfters.
noted for their boring qualities and
afford real sport upon light tackle.
Norfolk spots. running unusually
large this season, are now at their
best and It is a rare case indeed
when q party of anglers return
sp0tless, regardless of water or
weather conditions. To get the
full value of their fighting quail
ities try an ordinary rubber band
instead Of q gut leader to your
hook.
Rockfish or striped bass, noted
for their scrapplng ability, have
Just started to school and like
their brothers az bIuefish name
are feeding upon the surface In
hunt of food. An old friend nf
