Sun San Should Be
Secured Gradually

A fine coat of tan is like great
wealth-best if accumulated grad
ually.
Practically everyone who comes
to Carolina Beach aspires to an
even tan glow for their epldermls
and folks who have lived on the
beach all their lives are prone to
give yacationists these tips:
ID Don't try to attain a tan an
in one day-you'n look like a broll-
ed lobster instead and be j
about as comfortable as one.
! CO Don't lie exposed in the sun
from l am. until 2 pm. until your
skin has become accustomed to the
rays of the sun.
60 When taking a sun bath use
some oily substance on your SKIN
(4) Don't think that just because
the day may not be brilliant that
the sun rays won't give you a tan;
(5) Don't go to sleep on the sand
during the day: you'll burn more
than you anticipate.

are now located many desirable
building sites, many of which are
being developed rapidly, with streets
being cut through to make every
lot convenient to motorists.
In the yacht basin may be found
some of the finest yachts which ply
the inland waterway and also big
sturdy fishing boats, available for
anglers who wish to try their skill
in the briny deep where abound all
types of game fish and fine eating
fish.
This summer the Carolina Out

Der of years has promoted cupboard
motorboat racing IN this section OF
the state, plans to hold races in
the channel connecting the yacht
basin and the inland waterway and
indications are the event will give
spectators an afternoon of real
thrills and undoubtedly some spills,
for when the boys in the water
bugs begin buzzing around those
curves, there is almost always one

FOUR TYPES OF
FISHING OFFERED
Carolina Beach Affords Surf.
Deep Sea And Gulf
Stream Fishing

Carolina Beach and it's environs
are a paradise for the salt water
angler, for here the rod and reel
men catch the big fellas.
Here there are four types OF
fishing available: surf fishing, pier
fishing, Gulf Stream fishing from
a big boat and deep e fishing
from a surf boat.
Each is usually productive OF
fine fishing, but each has its ardent
followers and among the fishing
fraternity there is much discussion
as to which is the best.
All along the beach, from far up
the northern extension as far south
as Corncake inlet there are num-
erous sloughs where fishing from
the surf is excellent and here from
early spring until late fall and
early winter you a find ardent
surf fishermen, standing waist
deep in the swirling waters as
they wait for that all-important
strike.
Practically all of this territory
is available by automobile, that
section south of Fort Fisher being
accessible either by a dirt road
which runs in a westerly direction
to the Rocks or the fisherman,
may, at low tide, run his auto
mobile out on the hard packed
sands and ride down the beach
near the waters edge.
Pier fishing probably has more
devotees than any other form OF
angling in this section, for it at
tracts not only the seasoned angler
but the casual fisherman as well.
At the piers the fisherman finds
he can secure all the bait and
tackle needed and for this form
of fishing needs no other acces.
series. Here during a season thou,
sands troop to try their luck and
most are able to return at the
end of the day with an excellent
catch.
Gulf stream. fishing is new tc
Carolina Beach this summer, this
being the first complete season
during which the facilities of the
canal from the inland waterway
to the resort towns yacht basin
have been available. In the yacht
basin boat transportation to the
warm Gulf Stream can be secured
and those who try their luck here
find keen sport in the fight given
them by the game barracuda, am
berjacks, dolphin, tuna and other
semi-tropical fish.
Deep sea fishing also has its
devotees at Carolina Beach and
surf boats are operated from the
strand for these. Here also tackle
and bait are provided and it is
a poor fisherman who returns from
a trolling trip or from bottom fish
ing without a creditable string OF
the fine eating fish which abound
offshore. 2

largest channel bass, bluefsh, Vir.
Ginia mullet, rock or striped bass,
trout, or founders.
In addition to the annual and
special prizes, there are many
prizes awarded each month in the
competitions which r staged in
July, August, September. October,
and November.
Fishing piers in New Hanover
county also offer special prizes for
the largest fish caught from the
piers.
Perhaps the most keenly sought
prizes are those offered for record
breaking drum or channel bass.
Some years ago George Hutaff,
a prominent member of the club,
landed a 54-pounder and immedi.
ately offered a prize of $50 to the
member of the club who coulc
better that record. To date the
record stands and Hutaff has boost
ed his offer too $500 and members
of the club fish f%everishly in hope!
of landing a drum which will tor
that weight.
Another keenly sought prize il
the $50 which has been offered b,
the club to the member who cal
break the record on bluefish, whicl
now stands at 10 IA pounds.
One of the most interesting
things about the Fishing club i
found in its roster, where are t,
be found the names of rich an.
poor, men and women in all walk
OF life. Of course the majority o
them live in New Hanover county
but there are many who live il
other parts of North Carolina an,
still more who live in states othe
than North Carolina.

along this section of the state highly
productive of fine catches of game,
fighting fish.
The fishing areas in which salt
water fish may be caught and en-
tered in the divisions competitions
lie between the Virginia and South
Carolina state lines off shore from
North Carolina.
Prizes are offered by the division
for the largest and second largest
barracuda, amberjack, m a r l i n,
dolphin, king macherel, bluefish, tu-
ma, bonita and spanish mackerel
caught under the rules of the divi-
sion and a special prize is offered
to the boat captain boating the larg-
est fish caught of the species nam
ed.
Any member of the New Hanover
Fishing club may become a member
of the Fleet Division.

Deep Sea Fishermen
Form DUN Organization

With the growth in popularity
which is being experienced by Gulf
Stream fishing in this section, there
has developed in the New Hanover
Fishing club an organization devot-
ed strictly to that sport.
This portion of the club is known
as the Fleet Division Of the New
Hanover Fishing club and has it's
own officers, who are J. K. Davis,
commodore; Tom Murrell, vice-com-
modore; Guy Pigford, purser; Joe
Tilley, secretary and C. E. Hill, chair
man of the contest committee.
The division is less than a year
old but already is growing greatly
in popularity, for sportsmen are
finding the Gulf Stream fishing
