CAPT. c. F. WILLOUGHBY at

Fer the past week northeast winds

the fish will not bite. Be that as it
may. anglers have been landing large
catches in the bay and lower Potomac

doubtedly when the wind is from the

Capt WOodburn also reported
catch of six r0ckfish he landed

said he landed all the rockfish in

Word comes from Capt. J. T. Scriv-

He tells of an amazing catch last Fri
