Fish But Is Chock Full

. AdUice to Real Anglers

70 commute on n bike between Del
Mar and Jettyville. His tongue
hung out 50 far II was downright
dangerous. The way fish bite &C
Jettyville ESQ they say) some meanie
OF a reddish might jump clean out
OF the surf 10 strike at 1t.
Something 10 make grass shrimp
tough would be q big boon 70 fish
ermen. These shrimp ought to be
favorites with magicians for use In
disappearing tricks. They are the
fastest dissolving bait IN the world
not barring the meal balls we used
90 put on our hooks TO catch buf-
falo IN Clear Crick back home.
Fishermen don't dare spit on their
bait when they use grass shrimp.
II they did the shrimp would dis
solve before the Sheephead, croak-
err and catfish got a chance 10 suck
EN- off the hook.
There Is one thing TO be said for
grass shrimp. You 90 through the
motions Of successful fishing even
II you don't catch anything. II you
can refrain from looking az an
empty stringer you can get the i'm
preston OF being on q big fishing
trip Just from batting the hook so
often.
Fishing for sand trout In the back
water near Jettyvtlle Is highly
recommended just 20 get an idea OF
what the farmers In the Midwest
went through during the last
drought. Sitting on the water side
Of the jetties and feeling the sand
blowing In your ears gives you q
pretty good idea
No one should miss seeing Jetty-
vile. A sign Up the beach warns
that the jetties are on government
property and no shacks are to be
erected. Well the Jettyville found
ers figured how TO get by that one.
AL the bait shops, cafes and soda
pop vendors sell their stuff from
trailers. Most OF them are lacked
up but they've got wheels on them
and that is what keeps them within
the regulations.
We must tell how Jettyv1lle got
started. Somebody that had sat
cool and hungry In the dank early
hours wishing for q cup Of coffee
conceived the idea OF serving cof-
fee To such fishermen as could take
q few minutes OF from pulling In
the fish. He tote 1t there IN n
thermos Jug. The tariff was ten
can't. a e,,1 Gffn arotAa~ 49, ear
great possibilities and set UP a
stand right at the jetties sell
ing coffee at five cents q cup with
fresh cream. OF course II was an ac-
cident that when we were there
we had TO use canned milk. Trucks
don't last long down here, Happy
Jack explained.
"A good ~serviceable rubber tarpon
would boost the snapshot business.
When you see as many as 20 per-
sons having thier picture taken with
one measly 30-inch tarpon you can
imagine how many thousands could
take turns at having O. picture made
with a nice six foot rubber model
that would not need to be thrown
away for sanitary reasons.
A couple Of tobacco statesmen told
US that they called on every store
In Texas. After seeing them mt
Jettyville we were ready TO believe
10.
We did not catch any fish chow
did you guess It'd but we are as good
as the next n when It comes 70
bringing back n good abb. Just
before starting out on the Jetties we
bought n big stout cord to use ms q
stringer for the big ones we we're
going TO catch. Just TO be truthful
we took 1t along for protection. We
knew IL we went out on the jetties
without n strtnger we would get
chased plumb back TO Jettyville by
the denizens OF the deep. The only
trouble was that 1t worked too well.
