THAT premature run of big rock at

They were q little early, any

a week should see them back

They were q little carry, any"
way, and a few days or possibly
week should see them back
again.
The let-up probably is due to the
fact that a dozen or so boats have
been trying to fish the same spot
the famous rock pile. So many mo-
tors churning the surface and an
chors dropping all over the place are
enough to scare even the most fear
less fish.
The storms OF Thursday and Fri
day didn't have anything to do with
it. Indeed, some of the best catches
at Piney Point have been made dur
ing or right after rainy northeast
er. At such times rock run up under
the shore to feed.
THERE Is a certain eerie charm
about night fishing for black bass
and while most anglers prefer early
morning or late evening there are
some who can't get away from the
Office during daylight hours. Science
taided, of course, by the bait manu-
facturers) has come to the aid Of
these anglers with the development
of luminous paint for plugs.
Casting around in the dark is q
more or less helter-skelter PROPOSE
ton, with no exact knowledge of
where the bait will land. and a bait
which stays on the surface Is pref
cradle to a deep-going one if you
want to keep from getting snagged
on weed and reed beds.
Around Washington. in the Tidal
Basin and Dalecarlia Reservoir. where
the anglers generally are familiar
with the location of such beds, un-
derwater plugs may be used.
Color Is not 50 important at
night, sound and action doing
most Of the work.
Bait with hollow heads, which Gre
ate a popping sound, or those with
collars to churn the water are ef-

miles in / hour and 58.l3 minutes at
an average speed of 45734 miles per
hour.

hour clip, lowered the speed to an av-
erage 43 689 miles per hour in the sec

His best lap for the day was so

it had won from more modern boats
