By GEORGE f. HUBER

1T IS getting close to the time when
anglers In this section should be-
gin preparations for bluefish. In
4 other words, get out your big
reel and heavy line. Day in and day
out this department will preach the
gospel OF light tackle, but that can
be carried 4 bit too far when it comes
to blues.
For one thing, blues are not as
common as most other bay fish, and
when We hang into one it Is heart
breaking to lose it because a six
thread line won't hold. Ordinarily
for trolling after rock We use six
thread. but when big blues are In
the neighborhood we break out a
line we use for that purpose and
nothing else. 1t Is q nine thread
Ashaway sport line, beautiful thing
with different color every 20 yards,
so we can tell how much line is out
and how much more goes out when
big blue strikes.
Most anglers use something
= bit heavier, but = nine thread
will stand the gaff II it Is a good
quality made by 4 manufacturer
who knows his business.
AS for q reel, a drag is mandatory
unless you have a delicate touch with
a tough thumb. 4 rare combination.
A drag will save . lot OF work and
q lot of hsh.
Long and Short Rods.
A TROLLING rod should be fairly
short and stif1, otherwisooit will
have permanent curve at the end
OF the day. You can allow yourself
bit more length and lightness while
cumming or still fishing
We know We are going to start an
argument, but our favorite cumming
or still fishing rod has a 6-foot, g.
ounce tip and is a sweetheart when
anything at all gets on it. much less
a blue. 1t bends all over the bay,
but with light drag this is an advan-
tage because the fish is fighting the
spring OF the rod. not the strength
Of your arm or line
This rod, however. cannot be
used still fishing with 4 drift
line for rock.
Something a bit sitter Is needed

brief line Of explanation may bs
needed. A bushel or so Of alewives,
menhaden or other oily trash fish Is
used. The boat Is anchored in tide,
and the meat ground up and thrown
overheard handful at a time. It
forms long, oily slick" about 20 feet
wide reaching down the tide.
Your hook is baited with a piece
Of the fish, thrown over without 4
sinker and allowed to drift down the
tide about 20 or 80 feet. Mr.. Blue
fish thinks something is going on up
the line, travels up to take peek, and,
seeing your bait, latches onto it.
You take 1t from there.
Troll Through Edges.
TROLLING is done with ANYTHING
the particular angler prefers.
Spoons, squids. feathers. drones all
have their followers. You spot
school playin around on the surface
and sort Of skim through the edges 50
as not to frighten them and send
them down.
II you are going to get the
most sport from bluefish trolling
have the captain stop the boat
when one is hooked.
There is no sport in dragging a fish
along until it browns, and if you want
to see their acrobatics the boats must
be stopped. Many skippers do not
do this. but you are paying for the
boat and you should get what you
want.

they'll be mulling over proposal
to set up an exhibition loop around
Washington with or 10 Of the lead
ing paid lads all set to Join In the
festivities.
Briefly it's the idea Of Cox that
more and better exhibition golf
matches are the thing. He staged a
pair of em last Sunday at Kenweod
pulling out several hundred golf fans
to see the boys whack 'em, and with
that behind him he thinks he'd like to
see regular exhibition schedule ar
ranged. with that old home-club
ballyhoo put on and the lads vying
among themselves for few ducats.
Net that they expect to get
wealthy from these little Sum
day afternoon affairs. but Will
fred has the thought they should
be held more often at all the
clubs.
It's a good idea. too. There should
be more flrst-class pro golf played
around Washington. The financing of
them would be simple A purse Of no
great size could be put up at each
club with the winners to get the major
part Of it, and the losers coming in
for a small slice. There are plenty Of
fine shotmakers around the Capital
who aren't we'll known outside Of
their own clubs, and who can put on
a good links show any time, any
where. Wifi is on the track of q
good idea.
WILLIAM R. STONE, originator Of
the "chippy golf" idea, and
sponsor OF a scheme for l2-hole
courses, is getting to be quite a golfer
himself, Only five years ago he took
the game up, and he has played quite
lot with Roger Peacock, the former
District champ. A couple of days ago
Stone got the ball rolling and did so
well that he scored a rs at Indian
Spring, losing by single shot to
Roger. who had IS. Stone led the
1oImer cnamp coming 10 the sixteenth
hole, where he took a 7, to finish the
last nine with 40 after getting out
in 36.
THEY'RE getting ready for one Of
those screwy tournaments at In
dian Spring next Sunday, where goofy
doings will be in progress all day
as a field OF linksmen play in an
affair where high scoring is sure to
be enjoyed.
1t will be four-club tournament,
in which the players may choose only
four clubs. But they must all be
used in rotation. Can you imagine a
guy trying to drive with sand wedge
and putting with a driver? That's
what will happen at Indian Spring
Sunday.
