where boats, guides, bait hotels and restaurants
available and in reasonable distance from
good fishing grounds. The rates for rowboatS
and motor boats at the various fishing places
vary; there is no uniform price, and it is sug-
gested that all anglers inquire about prices
before starting out and avoid discussions when
the trip is finished. The large majority of
bcatmen, however, usually charge SIS for
morning or afternoon fishing trip, SO day
and SIS day for trolling. Last Summer the
writer upon visiting one fishing grounds with
a party of friends was surprised to learn when
he asked the price of the boat that it would
cost $40. Naturally enough this was thought
to be exorbitant, and the captain OF the boat
was told so in no uncertain terms We wanted
to fish practically all day and told the captain
we thought $40 was enough; that that was the
price generally asked by boat captains, and
that if he would guarantee to tx his price at
$40 day. and SIS for trolling, We would send
him lot of customers. For every JOY there is
sadness and for every sadness there must be
some joy. We had JOY that morning, return
ing with GO of the prettiest bluefish you ever
saw, some four and five pounds all landed

Chesapeake Bay wonderful body of water
comprising approximately $500 square miles,
should be the aquatic Fairgrounds for the East
ern section of the United States. Besides fishing,
the pleasure seeker can have fine time land
ing the large blue crabs to be found in the
bay and its tributaries. The crab situation in
the waters OF Maryland and virginia Is most
encouraging. Not many years ago the crabs in
the bay were diminishing at an alarming rate,
in fact, fast as to cause the conservation
authorities of Maryland and Virginia to take
action. The result of concurrent protective
laws passed by these two States increased the
catch of hard and soft crabs 800 per cent last
year. There Is now an abundant supply of
crabs in the bay, and during the past season
there was also a predominence of female
crabs The Maryland Department of Con-
servation is convinced that the blue crab of the
Chesapeake Bay is now in no danger. Accord
ing to commercial statistics, in the season
1929, s., 722 crabs were caught in Mary
land waters. During 1880, 83,981,241 were
taken or an increase of 25 per cent (about
1900 900 crabs) over the previous year.
The tidewater counties have been materially
benefited by the increase of crabs caught
The increase in crabs has drawn many people
to the waters Of the Bay for the pleasure in
catching them, and every one of these people
spend money in local communities, either for
boat hire, to buy Oait, gasoline for their cars,
money for their meals, etc.
Sport fishing in the bay has been and is
handicapped by the use of purse nets (these
nets however, have been legslated out of ex-
istence November / of this year, as previously
stated fyke nets, long seines, stake nets, drift
nets, ETC.. until it's mystery how any fish sur
vive to reach the head waters Of the bay.

Sport Fishing in Chesapeake Bay

of from 20 to so pounds. The largest drum
on record weighed LAG pounds. while the
largest ever taken on rod and reel weighed 80
pounds 1t is a bottom feeder and gIubS around
in search of small shellfSh and other marine
invertebrates on which it feeds. 1t Is pro-
vided with broad teeth and very powerful jaws
which can easily crush all but the most
heavily armored shellfish. The drum makes
a loud drumming noise, especially during the
breeding season. Soft crabs or fish makes the
best bait for these fish
The cabio, black bonto" is another of
the game fishes of Chesapeake Bay but is very
seldom caught except in the lower portions of
the bay around York Light Spit and below.
The usual size of the fish in lower Chesapeake
Bay is from 10 to so pounds. bonito weigh
ing "a pounds taken by hook and line OIL
S5tscbFoe Beach, Va, in June, 1921. The cabio,
or bonito is said to rank as the largest game
fish caught within Chesapeake Bay and, of
course, provides exciting sport when taken by
rod and reel or hand line.
THE other fish caught in the bay such as
! croakers, spot founders and the different
members of the perch family, while not called
game fish, furnish excellent sport, especially
when taken on light tackle.
The croaker, hardhead, the first of the
denizens of the deep to visit the waters of the
bay and its tributaries in the Spring of the
year, are much sought by anglers. 1t is one Of
the commonest food fishes of the Atlantic and
Gulf States. The maximum size is about 20
inches in length and pounds in weight The
fish run large during the Spring, fall off dur
ing the Summer months, and large ones are
caught again in September. 1t may possibly
be that there are two runs of these fish from
the waters of the Gulf Stream.
The spot, or Lafayette" they arc some
times called, are very abundant in Chesapeake
Bay, and put up a good fight when they reach
maturity. They more abundant one year
than another. This fact caused the name
Lafayette" to be bestowed upon it because of
it's periodical temperance coincident with the
visit of Lafayette to this country in 1924. It's
small mouth is indicative of the bottom feed
ing habits. The spot is small fish, and
those taken in the Bay usually around
or inches. However, some of this species
~ caught during the fishing season in the
bay measuring 9 or 10 inches. They take the
hook readily and the larger ones put up good
fight when landed on light tackle.
The founder is another fish caught in
Chesapeake Bay. The largest founder on
record caught " rod and reel weighed 10
pounds, while &c pounds is said to be the
maximum size attained At the age of year
the founder in the bay attains a length of
Az to inches and at 2 years of age the
length is around 10 or II inches.

The MARYLAND Department Of Conservation,
under the able direction Of Commissioner
SwepSen Earle, has been untiring in its eff
forts to restore to something like their for
mer numbers the crabs, fish and oysters in
Chesapeake Bay. In 1922, under Gov Albert
C. Ritchie's reorganization plan, the Maryland
Conservation Department was created with
one -man head, and in 1924 Swepson Earle was
appointed commissioner by the Governor.
Commissioner Earle has made wonderful
strides in conservation work, in restoring oys-
tiers and crabs in the waters of the bay. His
department is working hard to restore
fishing conditions in salt and fresh water The
word conservation" comes from the Latin,
which has furnished many of our words in
common use. 1t means ito save, to protect,
to preserve or care for to guard or keep safe
in an entire state" Conservation really means
a prevention of waste, the wise use of what
God has placed this earth for our use. To
conserve our fish and game we must educate
our people to the necessity of conserving, and
learn and put into effect plans to prohibit
waste
THE Maryland Conservation Department is
] working hard to assure future generations
the enjoyment of the great outdoors, especially
fishing and hunting. The department now
has a new boat the steamer Tech, which was
recently given the State of Maryland by Mrs.
Alice du Pont of Delaware. The Tech will
McLane, which has had long and useful
career in the service of Maryland since she was
built at Philadelphia in 1884. The steamer
McLane acquired considerable fame in 1888
during the battle of Chester River, when she
was under command of the late Capt. T. G. B.
Howard She was engaged in battle with
more than SO dredge boats.
One of the chief causes OF depletion OF our
streams is that of everlasting. In this the
sportsmen are equally guilty with the CONNER
cial fishermen, and especially in Chesapeake
Bay The anglers go the theory that there
are as many fish in the ocean and bays and
a lot more than have ever been caught This
theory may or may not be true, but certain
localities can be entirely depleted Of fish by
overfishng them. If the anglers visiting the
bay and its tributaries, instead of returning
with catches of 100 or more fish Of different
species, would content themselves with just
enough fish for home consumption and few
for one or two friends, how much better it
would be for all concerned! mean both for
the fish and themselves:
The angler trying to return home with big
catch of fish certainly has trouble on his
hands. He has to secure ice for them, particu-
larly if the day is hot. In all probability II
his catch is so or over he can't find room Tor
them in his car. Consequently, many are left
behind either to spoil to be used by the
natives on their tables. Let the motto from

precious metals was cut from the 1929 figure Of
$155 ,567133 to only about $76,000,000. The
production of gold fell less than that of the
other metals but did decline due to the sharp

RECORDING PLAN IS
 FAVORED BY REPLIES

Of the replies thus far received by the Alaska Game Commission to the questionaires pertaining to the proposition of registering trap
 lines, fully 70 per cent are in favor of it, according to w. H. |Terhune, executive officer of the commission, reports the Anchor Eage Times.
 About 1000 questionaires were sent out from the Juneau office to trappers in all parts of the Territory, and it is hoped that a sufficient number of replies will be received to enable the com- mission, at it's annual meeting in the late fall to arrive at definite conclusion regarding the sentiment of the trappers.
 This is not a proposition that the Alaska Game Commission is trying to "put over" on the trap pers, MT. Terhune has assured. What is being done is merely an effort to ascertain the views of the trappers on the question and if it appears to be the desire of the majority to protect their trap lines in that manner, a plan prob ably will be formulated by the commission to enable them to do so. But not otherwise.
