Maryland has Jurisdiction over

enforcing the tidewater bass sea-

bass fishing places are Piscata-
way and Mattawoman Creek.
Fishermen who have taken out
their families for fishing trips
out on the open bay, complain
that boatmen fail to equip their
boats with sufficient life-saving
equipment
This fact was brought home
forcibly to one enthusiastic angler
recently, who went out with his
wife and two small children ia
a none too sturdy boat, out in
the lower bay when the water
was rough. There was absolutely
nothing in the boat to keep a
person afloat. The boat shipped
plenty of water and was peril.

The fisherman VOWS that he
will not take his family out again
until this condition is remedied.
In fact it will be quite a while
before he goes out himself.
"The bOatmen charge a fairly
good price for the boats and
services" he says. land there

were returned to the water.
One party of Washingtonians
found the hardheads biting In

a short time and caught SO big
