ANGLERS
BY GINO SINH

With the coming Of the new
moon over the weekend, fish
ing is expected to perk UP con-
siderably on all fronts.
However, the fact that the
moon was off color, didn't seem
to affect certain fishermen They
were favored with enormous
hauls, trout and exceptionally
large spots playing major roles.
At least half a dozen fisher
men stated that they grew tired
pulling them in.
Wallace Powell and Sam
Scogna spent four days fishing
around Piney Point, the first
three devoted mostly to practice
in the art of rowing. On the
fourth day they caShed in,
though, dragging out ITO husky
beauties, including 20 Of the finest
trout that both of these veteran
fish-kidnaperS have ever seen.
It was the biggest catch in that
section for the week. DR.. Mof-
fett caught 81, fish in the same
water. .-
They were puzzled by the ap-
parent disappearance of hard
heads. In their four days of
Godging transforms and dreary
fogs, they caught $50 finsters,
only two were hardheads.
boy, you ought to have
seen the spOtS," Grated ScOgna,
"they were that big" Sam
spread his arms two yards
apart, in true fisherman's
manner, but catching himself,
he brought his hands to within
eight inches of each other.
Mortimer King. Kings Palace
boss, and Gus Owens, of La
Plata, brought in a mighty flock
from Rock Point, all good sized.
The catch included $50 spots, 81
trout, 8 hardheads and Q rocks.
Vic Gauzza, his wife, and two
boys, Vic, Jr.. and George. ard
the Misses Burnette and Chris
tine Burgess, caught six dozen
crabs at Pope's Greek. Vic also
got Is nifty spots. Bottle" Cox
said the crabs were the best he
had ever eaten.
The writer his wife, and Mr..
and Mrs. Leo Balducci also
availed themselves of Pope's
Greek last Saturday for grabbing
and caught all they could use
at one sitting. The writer, Sgd
Katznell, Arthur Hahn, two other
Times sport scriveners, Tony Le-
one and Fred Re1dy, ir., went to
the same place on Monday and
waylaid so more crusteceans.
Albert Krey and John Hieder
returned to Swan Point, where
they did so well a week ago, but
rain prevented them from get
ting more than a fair catch.
1t is reliably reported that
Handsome" Jack Canty, Ninth
st. fishing expert, has tempora-
rily abandoned fishing and has
gone in for breaking paddle stands
at county fairs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmy Mcintyre
and Charles Leeth bailed IS
spots, 6 trout and 10 hardheads
from Colonial Beach Waters.
Roy Ferguson went out to White
Point, grew weary Of pulling
in crabs and fish. They got a
spot 8 inches long.

at Benedict and a small drum.
Other small drums were re-
ported from the same place.
Sam Delecchio and his father
shared Is trout at Blackstone
Island, Tuesday, and Thursday.

to Piney Point and were rewarded
with 200 beautiful trouts.

Inspector o. T. Davis caught
plenty last Friday, a 512lb. trout
being the crowning achievement.
Lefty Jewett had a little luck
at Plum Point, snaring only 4

bunch at Horses Landing on the
Patuxent, juicy looking trout and
/ large spots. Herbie Cohen came
back from wildwood, N. j. plenty
