are no fish in the bay, but
weather conditions will be against the
anglers From what I can learn there
are still o lot Of the big blues and sea
trout to be caught, but these fish are
being landed at only two places. one
the Gooses for the trout, and the
other. Southwest Middles, for the blues.
Capt. Ed Garvin of Tilghman Island
In his report the last week said that on
Tuesday morning he fshed on the
GooSes and landed nine trout weighing
from ga to pounds, trolling, but nary
blue He thought the blues, Whlcn
until very recently had been furnishing
great sport on these grounds, had
dropped back down the bay and are
now being caught on Southwest Middles.
As late as the 7th OF last November.
Capt. Garvin said, he landed many OF
these gamesters fishing on the Dis
monds, located just back OF Sharp $
Island. and expects to land many trout
on these grounds before the weather
becomes too cold for comfort Some
fair size rockfish are now being landed
off Sharps Island, the skipper added.
We received no reports last week from
many boat captains located along the
Bay and Patuxent Rivers, and con-
cluded that no fish were being caught.
Capt. c. F. Willoughby Of Ridge, Md,
in his report said that the bay had
been pretty rough early in the week and
no boats were able to get out. Attempt
ing it, one fishing boat lost its anchor
and had to return. Capt Willoughby
said last Sunday his party made a
catch of 1876 fish, consisting of several
trout weighing around 3 u pounds, one
blue weighing pounds and 60 hard
head, several weighing 3i2 pounds, and
the rest of the catch small sea bass.
This captain said he is catching most
of his fish in Cedar Point Hollow, 3 or
miles above Point No Point Light. There
are plenty of fish to be caught, but
anglers will have to bring their bait
with them, he said.
CAPT. FRANK HERBERT of Palm
ers, fishing with several local
anglers OF Blackstone Island,
landed two barrels of trout, hardhead,
rock King William perch and spot.
Gus Raley of Washington, fishing
with Capt. William Houseman of
Blackstone Island, landed large num-
Der of trout and small blues. Three
Baltimore physicians, who fished last
Saturday and Sunday on Southwest
Middles, landed So blues.
John Briscoe of Leonardtown had
| another good day on Southwest Middles
recently when he and John Maddox,
Robert Hunt, Joseph GoldSborough
and Byron Guy landed rs blues. The
only drawback to this trip was the fact
| that a strong wind blew up suddenly
and drove these anglers to the Eastern
| Shore where they we're compelled to
remain all night and did not get home
until late the following day.
Capt. Walter Cheseldine is reported
| to have landed 10 trout angling off Tall
Timbers. They scaled from to 7
pounds. Four rockfish weighing from
3 to pounds, and two blues weighing
3 and 4 pounds were caught.
/ Roland Mckay of Valley Lee, Md.
still fishing off Tall Timbers, caught
80 trout weighing from to S pounds.
October and November are the real
bass months and anglers are landing a
lot of these gameSterS. They are being
caught almost everywhere Joe Fletcher
the other day landed four sizeable
small-mouth bass on the Virginia side
of the river opposite his boat house,
/ using smelt for bait. Big-mouth bass
are being caught along the seawall OF
the Georgetown and Washington
! Channels, and good reports come from
Piscataway Greek and Gunston Cove.
We have received a complaint from
| S. B. D. Rollins of 613 F street north
| east, who says he paid $3.50 for Vir-
ginia license and went to OccoQuan
Creek for his piscatorial outings. While
about dark. he observed several men
operating a seine in the creek and
again on the following Sunday saw
had observed the same thing taking
place in GunSton Cove this Fall and
wanted to know why 1t had not been
stopped, contending it was not fair to
charge non-residents $3.50 for license
and then allow the bass to be taken
with seine. How about II, Virginia?
