Trout, rock, or what you wish'
For you to pull in"
Regiments Of hard-bitten, un-
Satiable anglers will swarm over
the Eastern Shore fishing grounds
Saturday and Sunday in the
first annual Izaak Walton League
fishing rodeo, and countless shim-
mering finsters, trout, blues, rock
fish and hardheadS will be
dragged bodily from their happy
home and family never to return.
It will be the mightieSt turnout
Of fishing talent in the history
of the bay and the slaughter will
be terrific among the unfortunate
denizens of the deep who get in
their way.
It is the most attractive fishing
trip ever offered locally. The
charge is only $3.50 per man dt
is strictly a stag party, including
everything, train, ferry, bus fares,
hotel and food accommodations,
boat, bait and whatnots, over and
back.
Leave Saturday at 3
The party, limited to 800, will
leave on special electric trains
: at Twelfth and New York Avenue
at 3 o'clock Saturday.
Supper will be waiting for them
at Tilghman, when they get there,
around z p. m. After supper
those who wish to try their luck
Immediately can do so. for boat
men will be at their call at any
time.
Only 10 men will be allowed to
q boat, thus guaranteeing plenty
of room for each angler. The
boats range from 40 to so feet in
length.
To make the trip even more
alluring, the prize for the biggest
fish caught, any specie, will be SO,
which means that the lucky chap
will not only have wonderful
fishing trip free, but also come
away with a handsome profit.
Many Awards
There are other worthwhile
awards for the biggest trout
blues, hardheads and rockfish,
and to make certain that every
man has a chance, only one prize
will be awarded to any one con-
testant.
All prize fish must be caught on
hook on line, of course, and must
be weighed in at George Harri-
sons pier no later than o'clock
Sunday. This allows nearly %
hours for every angler to bring in
a whopper.
The only fly in the ointment to
the average fisherman will be the
committees emphatic statement
that no prizes whatsoever will be
offered for the largest toadfish,
eel, skate, shark, turtle or spot.
Sea-nettles and snailS are also on
the blacklist. In fact, the COM
mitteemen don't even want to
hear about them.
BarstOw Chairman
Francis BarStoW, Clarendon,
Va, is the chairman of the COM
mittee. Entries will be accepted
at any well-known local sporting
goods store until tomorrow. Those
unable to know definitely whether
they can go until the last minute
may be able to enroll at the train,
providing the quota is not filled.
Special reservations must be made
In advance, however.
