The Chicago Cubs and the BoS-

Of nice red raSpberries.
The fish which had been plen-
tiful up to then, seemed to have
taken a "run-out powder" during
the night. and We anglers found
only eels and toad fish, those
darling of the deep. waiting for
them early Sunday a. m. Mon
day and Tuesday excellent
catches of cells and toad fish
were reported from almost every
where. Occasionally some lucky
angler caught a hardhead, a
teaser, but eels and toad fish
ruled the waves and under them.
But today's burst Of sunshine has
buoyed up hopes for the coming
weekend.
Picks Up Hardheads
Addison Bowie, chronic Broomes
islander, was down there Tuesday
night and picked up a few hard
heads, but he didn't nab 'em any
where up to his usual form.
Solomons, which richly reward
ed visitors Saturday with hard
heads and also a few blues, has
had nothing to offer since.
Herring Bay treated its guests
Iavishly Saturday, but Sunday and
Monday it had become merely
pond of troubled water.
The lower Potomac remains
deathly in it's silence. If there are
fish there, it seems to be a state
secret.
No one has ventured across the
bay to Tighmans, the "Gooses"
the Middles since Saturday, but
those that went then had quite
bit of luck.
"GOOses" Satisfies
DR.. Ignatius Rutkoski and Mrs.
RutkoSki, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Mcneil, DR.. John Barber and Miss
Flo Lewis had a great trip to the
"GooSes." He writes:
owe went over to the 'GOOseS'
where for the first time this year
we we're successful. Fishing from
3 o'clock in the afternoon to 8
O'Clock in the evening we caught
ninety 900 beautiful hardheadS
weighing from two to four
pounds. The fishing was very in
tefesting because the fish were
biting fast and furiOuSIy. There
were over 18 boats ON the
"GOOSeS" yesterday and every
boat was catching its quota.
"GinO, I think from these re-
suits that we are going to have
another successful fishing sea-
SON."
So that's that. However, the
fish are in the bay, hardheads,
trout and some blues. The only
thing out of whack is the weather.
Murky weather takes the fight
out Of finsters. makes them slug
giSh and Indifferent. The first
clear, warm day will work
