Ferry the Potomac Is very muddy
and the Shenandoah very cloudy. At

bass streams have been kept muddy
or cloudy by the storms.
The river in the vicinity Of Chain
Bridge is badly discolored. Joe
Fletcher said yesterday you could see
only about three inches below the
surface. He reports that a lot Of
small rockfish are being landed.
The bright spot for the bass anglers
last week was Gunston Cove Capt.
Aubrey Sheppard informs us there
are plenty Of large-mouth bass and
that the water is clear. These game
sters are being landed with surface
plugs, the red head and crippled
minnow.
Bass anglers will have the best
fishing during September and Oc-
tober, with the latter the better
month
IN SALT water the anglers are con-
tinuing to land many, and in
some cases, exceptionally large hard
head. Prom our own experience the
ma jority of fish now being landed
are of the smaller size, around a
pound and q half. Each fishing
season during the real hot weather
the run Of hardhead, particularly In
the upper part of the bay, are COM
paratively small. Then toward the
close Of the season the big "fellers'
again make their appearance.
zach week We make a fishing trip
to some saltwater place. Last
week we selected Solomons Island
and, along with George Hurd, NAL
colin Major, Harold Rogers, Newman
Sudduth and Bob Pyle, went out TO
the edge of the channel in the bay.
The hardhead were visiting some
other place. so We moved back on the
inside of Cedar Point Light. Here
We picked up a number of hardhead,
but not of the size we wanted. so we
moved across the bay and fished off
Hoopers Island Light. Just as the
larger fish commenced to strike a
strong wind blew up, and we were
forced to beat q hasty retreat. We
landed rs hardhead and one smau
sea trout.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ollie Atlas and Mil.
ton Gordon paid a visit. to Solomons
the same day and landed 29 hard
head. sea trout, all around III
pounds. Mrs. Atlas landed the only
blue. 1t weighed over 2 pounds.

The best part of the news from
Solomons is the fact that a goodly
number of blues have been observed
breaking water between Drum Point
and Cove Point.

romes Greek. Ridge, Nd, says plenty
Of big hardheads are being landed
