ROD AND STREAM
esSs>&[1- by PERRY MILLER=N>>>z-AA1

Rhode Langley, fishing in the middle
of the channel of the bay, made a
catch of between 80 ard 80 big hard
head, and that Capt. Lore, using the
same grounds, made a catch of 35.
Capt. George Bowen, also of Solo,
mons Island, reports that the hard
head are really hitting out in the bay,
which, he says, is good sign, and
that it will not be long before they
are being caught in goodly numbers
in the Patuxent River off the island.
Capt. c. F. Willoughby, at Ridge,
Md, on st. Jeromes Greek, informs
us that all boats returning Wednesday
had from 80 to IS hardhead and that
one angler landed six blues around
No Point Light weighing from to 3la
pounds. He looks for good fishing now
that the northeaster has blown itself
out. The blues are hitting again on
S.W. Middles. he says. Capt. VIII
loughby has three boats this season,
one co. another 38 and his new boat,
43 feet.
n EFORE the recent northeaster a
n catch OF 275 blue fish, totaling ap-
proximately 800 pounds, was made
in two days fishing at oregon Inlet
by 10 of Montgomery County's leading
professional and business men. The
honor of capturing the largest blue,
which tipped the scales at pounds,
went to Frank Pollard.
This party consisted of Judge Don
aid A. De Lashmutt, William F. Pret-
lyman, Stedman Prescott, Capt. Jo-
seph C. Cissell, F. Barnard Welsh,
Charles M. Jones. Frank L. Hewitt.
Franch Pollard, Oliver H. Perry and
j. B. McSherry.
Capt. Lusby of No. IA Engine Co.,
accompanied by his son, made a re-
markable catch fishing a week ago
from the pier at Chesapeake Beach.
These two carried home 1873 hardhead,
all caught in shallow water.
Our prediction for this week end
is that many fish will be landed i'll
the bay and its tributaries. The fishes,
namely hardhead, sea trout and blues.
are being netted in large numbers by
commercial fishermen, and now that
the northeaster is thing Of the past,
with warm weather in sight, every
thing is becoming just right for the
