the worms. Another party fishing at
the same place the next morning
landed 10 rock and Is perch. It now
can well be said that it Is rock fishing
time in the Potomac above Washington,
and, later on, when the rockfish COM
mence to drop back downstream there
will be good fishing of Hams Point,
just about Is or IS yards below the
black buoy marking the channel.
A NGLERs seeking large-mouth bass
IA have been we'll rewarded fishing
of the sea-wall in the Washington
Channel. Three anglers, who care lit
tie for the time they wet their lines,
fishing just after midnight, landed good
strings of bass. Using kidney spoons
and Junebug spinners, one landed
IT, another IL and the third 10 bass,
total of AZ. which is not bad for
this time of the year. or any other, for
| that matter.
Reports from salt water are not very
encouraging and perhaps the less said
about them the better.
A. H. G. Mears, at Wachapreague
reports he personally landed 81 blues
this week, running from to pounds,
and that another boat landed 80, and
that the best catch Of trout this week
was Is. He also says so far this sea-
son % channel bass have been landed.
Buck Parker. well known boatman
and guide at Wachapreague, in a letter
to Ollie Atlas asserts fishing in the
bay has been worse this year than for
some seasons past. He says there is
practically no fishing in the bay at the
present time. There is some difference
in these two reports. Take your
choice.
Vincent MCGUIRE, local angler, who
Is spending some time on the Eastern
Shore with Capt. Dan Ball at Neavitte,
telephones to say that the only fish
being caught are landed off Cooks
Point, in the mouth of the Big Chop
tank River. He informs us that dur
ing the last two weeks about Is boats
have been out and that the largest
catch was about IS to a boat.
Noah Hazard took a party Of local
anglers across the bay last Monday
and fished off Cooks Point These
anglers landed about 80 hardheads,
not trout. These catches are pretty
small compared with the usual catches
on the Eastern Shore.
CAPT. C. F. WILLOUGHBY, at Ridge,
~ Md, reports that no fish are being
caught down his way. with the excep-
ton Of few hardheads. Trap METERS
are taking their nets from the water
this week, and some of the fishermen
say when these nets are out of the
water the fish will commence to bite,
but doubt it. think the temperature
Of the water still is too cold. There
is no doubt about the fish being in the
waters. but they just will not strike
the way anglers want them to-
George Knight, at Leonardtown, says
no hardheads are biting in the lower
Potomac at this time, but that good
big perch are being caught. He adds
that Frank Herbert Of Leonardtown,
fishing last Monday of Blackstone
Island, landed 81 perch. and that a
party of Washingtonians landed 25
perch fishing off River Springs. knight
also informs us that soft crabs have
been selling for 10 and IS cents a dozen
at Leonardtown, but they now are
falling of.
Local anglers fishing at Solomons
Island report they caught only four
toads last week end. although they
fished everywhere, in the Patuxent and
out in the bay around Cedar Point
From all directions come the same
reports-nothing doing in the pistorial
line over last week end. Perhaps the
fish also took holiday. not to be out
done by the human race.
