While repeatedly in the wind for
some time, announcement this week
that the power events of the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta will be Cancelled
for this year in order to conserve
gasoline and oil comes as a sur
prise TO speedboat fans throughout
the country.
Speedboat racers, however. had
clung to the idea the Washington
regatta would come of as scheduled.
No later than last week at an East
Coast power regatta drivers were
talking of their plans 10 make Wash
ing-on in September. To them and
many WaslingtonianS who recall
thriu-packed regattas during the
last Is years. the cancellation comes
as disappointment.
But as John A. Remon. Regatta
Association president, declared: The
association feels it would not be in
keeping with the Governments pro-
gram of conserving fuel to hold a
motorboat regatta this year" the
decision is a commendable one.

The rain of the past week end
slowed fishing to some extent in most
areas. Whether fish have the same
oppressive feeling under water when
a storm is approaching as we have
above it is unansWerable. We do
know they stop biting and as soon
as the Squall is past eagerly accept
any bats. Because this is so. fish,
ing has been Spotty this week
some excellent catches here and
poor ones there. But there is
promise of good going with good
weather for this week end.
Chester River has been producing
good catches of Stripers for the past
10 days With normal conditions
these fish probably will continue to
take trolled lures and follow a
chum line of shore shrimp. The
only drawback to this fishing
ground is its inacceSsibility.
Rock Hall is the best place TO
get boats and it is necessary to
cross on the Annapolis ferry to get
there. Some District anglers have
found the trip well worth while.
A few Annapolis boats are fishing
the edge of the channel near the en-
trance bell-buoy for trout and get
ting them.
There are StriperS On the Thomas
Point lighthouse rocks at the mouth
cf South River Trolling so far has
not been lucrative, but they will bite
on shore shrimp.
West River boats are fishing across
on the hill in the mouth Of Eastern
Bay. Trout there are increasing in
number and size Hardheads are
large and plentiful. but that is true
everywhere in Upper Chesapeake
Bay.
Deale boats fishing Holland Point
are getting larger trout and large
numbers Of spot, using bloodworms
for bait. White shrimp bats fool a
trout occasionally. but soft crabs
and peelers are best.

Cedar Point school of stripers that is
supplying the best fishing anywhere.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover Zook and Mr..

Capt. Ed Bowen, caught 342. How
ever, only 80 were killed. The others
were returned as they were caught.
The most action now is on the
ocean front. Big channel bass are at
Cape Charles. What probably will
be the largest spottail of the season
was caught there just a few days ago
by Baltimore angler. 1t weighed
73 pounds ounces. Just II ounces
short of the world record.
At Wachapreague the big fellows
are coming in SLOW.
Surfmen fishing Fox Hill Levels
continue to bring in nice bass, black
drum and more large trout than

With most of the boats at Ocean

Answers to Anglers.
c. B. hare seen many small
fish caught in Chesapeake Bay.
Is there no minimum size limit TO
protect them.. II seems such
1uaste to kill fish almost too small
to dress.
There are size restrictions on
most species in Maryland waters.
but so far as We know there never
has been any attempt to enforce the
law. The minimum limit on blue
fish and trout is inches. On white
perch and hardheads it is 7 inches.
Stripers are expected to be II inches
before they are keepers. There also
is a maximum limit of Is pounds on
the bass, except in the Susquehanna
River above Hog Back Shoals, where
sports anglers are allowed to take
them as large as they catch them.
J. J. Are the sea nettles seen
floating in the Chesapeake food
tor any species OF fish?
There is no marine life but what
is food for some other form, fish
or mammal. The sea nettle or jelly
fish is more than 80 per cent water,
but sea turtles find enough to make
it acceptable as food. Another form,
the ,PortugeSe man-o-War, with a
balloon-like body and tenacles that
some time extend so feet are par
ticularly relished tidbits.
r. J. Several weeks back you

Point Lookout Are these fish
the largest game fish caught IN

bass to be found in the same 10
cality? When do bluefsh arriUe
there?
Cobia are the largest game fish
caught in the Chesapeake if the
sturgeon. almost extinct here
through heavy commercial fishing,
is excepted. Variously called bonita,
coalfish and cobia, the cobia reaches
a top weight of over 100 pounds.
The record for the bay now
Evening star., 1941-07-18

stands at 1892 pounds. The
greatest concentration OF this fine
sport fish anywhere III the country
is in lower bay waters They seldom
go above South West MlddleS,
where the one pictured was caught.
1t weighed 79 pounds and Is the
largest of which We have any record
caught on these grounds. MeSslck,
Buckroe Beach and Cape Charles
are the best places to fish them.
There are a few channel bass
caught on the Middles each year.
Occasionally they are taken above.
The channel bass is a beach runner
in the North. but found in inlet
channels in the South.
The bluefiSh arrival in bay wa
ters usually is in May when the run
on the North Carolina coast is
heavy under the shore. Otherwise
