ravenouS manner" said Browne.
Early season fish. due to cold
water, seldom go for feed in a
gluttonous way and their timid
or feeble manner of attack is
more or less attributed to a
numbed condition of the mouth
that might be called temporary
paralysis. We have often taken
weakfish, in early May, at
Wachapreague, upwards to 10
pounds, but due to cold water
the fish would take to bait about
the equal of a pan-sized trout
during midSeaSon.
