WATERMEN LOOKING FOR
WARD TO GOOD SEASON

Commercial fishermen of. the low
err Chesapeake Bay are looking conf
IDENTIFY forward to better season this
year than last.
At this time last season the wa
tiers were still thawing out from the
winters big freeze, one of the most
severe on record. The winter now
ending has been mild and the fishing
season is getting off to an unusually
good start.
Few fish have been caught yet but
each week finds the catch increasing.
Large-scale operations do not custom
arily begin until towards the middle
of April.
The fisherfolk have lost no time get
ting their rigs ready. Poles have
been cut and dried in the woods and
later peeled of their bark for use in
fastening nets and other preparations
made.
A runway of poles extends out from
the nets some distance in the water
to lead schools of fish into a trap
formed of the nets. Boats manned by
five men or more bring in the catch
from the nets and sell them to buy
boat captains representing the pack
ing houses and fish dealers.
In the early days of the season, the
fishermen are lashed by salty icy
sprays from the bay. To the hardy
watermen, however, this experience is
call in days work.
Wholesale fish dealers and pack
Aers have been extremely busy prepar-
ina~ to handle record catch. Boats
have been overhauled, packing houses
recondl. toned, docks cleared to provide
more room for the finny cargoes.
Practically all the fish caught in
this region of the bay are shipped
through Crisfield. The main fishing
points are Gwynn's Island, Little Bay,
Indian Creek, Greater Wicomico, New
Point, Horn Harbor and Lower Mar
chodick in the Potomac.
Buy-boats from more than a score
of Crisfield packing houses purchase
fish from the watermen.
Small quantities Of herring and shad
already are coming in. An abundantly
large spring run of shad is predicted
as a result of the mild water.

Mrs. Horner, measures TX inches the
