WY C. HEITMULLER writes: II
W.. thought you might like to put
the following item in your col
unn for the beneflt Of the saltwater
anglers who have had bad luck tnB
season.
PRED Winckler and Mr.. and Mrs.
w C. Heitmuller, who we're out fishing
RECENTLY In Capt. Fred Elliott's boat at
Broomes Island, landed over 80 hard
heads. Several large trout were lost.
Mrs. Heitmuller landed one trout
weighing over pounds. Several other
boats fishing close to our boat made
very good catches of hardheads. The
day fishing is not so good, but falr
catches of large spot and some perch
are being made at this place"
Now comes an A. p. report: Some
thing Is wrong with fish in the CheSa-
peake Bay and its tributaries. During
the day. veteran professional and anna
teur anglers and watermen declare,
taylors. yellow filmed trout, rock and
hardheads, with which the waters are
teeming, will not bite. At night these
same anglers go out and return with
big catches"
/ Why fish will not bite in the day
time, but 60 after nearly anything at
night Is q mystery to all. Anglers re-
port large schools Of fish in the bay
waters In this area, and numbers OF
game fish break the waters, but all
seem to be wary Of trolling parties.
Meanwhile, crabs are so plentiful
| that the price has dropped to such
low mark that many boats have ceased
operations because of inadequate re-
turns.
