SOLOMON s
By GINO SINH

Fishing has blossomed in o
full flower all over Chesapeake

Now and then a sudden squall
q cold wind or some other unex-

reason may bring disappointment
to a party of anglers. but, on the
whole, the fish have arrived.
Many splendid catches h ave
been reported.
Perhaps the biggest one was
that of Capt. Bob Wilson, Frank
Gatewood, Percy \ Sutton and
"Royal" King at Point Lookout

They caught a barrel full OF hard
heads and trout.

right hand man, also yanked in
plenty in the same region Mon

Got 243 At Sharps
The mess landed by w. E.
Wilson, Harry Bladen and Jim
Blazedale at Sharps Island was
a humdinger. They got 243 fish,
hardheads, trout and few blues.
Another conspicuous Sharps Is
land catch was that of Harry
Singer and E. Herdenheimer,
who shared 200 hardheads and
trout there Sunday

little too late, caught only few
blues, a half dozen big hardheads
and, at the very end, two beauti-
full speckled trout, of which they
were extremely proud.
Mrs. Bessie Zimmerman and
her sons, Jimmie and Bill, bagged
eight dozen big crabs at Island
View. One was 18 inches from
claw to claw, Jimmie claims.
Eight Young Men
Eight Vollng fellahS from the
Treasury, equipped with every
fishing parapharnalia known to

tain" w. v. Weber. c. E. Hearst,
Judge Sawyer, Frank Reppert, D.
w. Beatty, James Kline, and Lee
Pitchlyn.
Pitchlyn claimed that the wind
had blown all the fish out of the
bay. Kline managed to snare an
eel which he promptly wrapped
around the neck of Hearst.
Hubby" Elliott and Charley
Kenyon put Tilghman's on the
map by hauling in 200 hardheads
and trout in less than four hours
Sunday afternoon.
Jimmy Mahoney and party Of
friends also slipped across the
bay and landed 200 hardheads

though.
Gets 'Em At Last
Wally Powell and his gang, the
Mrs, Molly and Fanny Lazerow
and Handsome Jack" Canty
finally caught up with the fish.
In an hour or so Sunday after
sundown, they waylaid ~ big
hardheads and several trout at
near Cedar Point. The night be-
fore Maurice Eanet, Joseph
Bocher and Ben Kay captured
more than 100 hardheadS and
trout in the same spot.
Mort King had only fair luck
at Rock Point, bringing in six
large hardheads and a mess Of
perch. He threw back some so
undersize hardheadS. The hard
heads he caught all had thick
layer of fat on them. The blues
are putting in an appearance at
Rock Point, Mort said. Good
catches are being made at Piney
Point, River Springs and Tall
TimberS.
