But somehow you're not in the ex-
elusive jockey set until you're aboard

He's a serious little man. 80 years
old and with set ideas on the racing

Bay Fishing Spots.
II they start as usual the first
ones probably will be caught over in
the Honga River Flats, across the bay
from Solomons. or at Benedict, on the
Patuxent River. This latter spot
has many advantages for early fish
ing. The water is shallow on the
oyster beds directly across the
river from Benedict and warns
quickly in the spring. The edges of
the bed generally have the best
fishing.
The theory is that little
worms and grubs living under
the protection of the oysters
attract the fish and put them
in q biting mood.
Best of all about Benedict is that
the beds are not too far from the
dock and easily can be reached by
rowboat, doing away with the ex-
pense of hiring a cruiser. In fact
the majority of the fishing there
is done from rowboats, although
those preferring the comforts of a
fishing cruiser can have them for a
reasonable fee.
