Chesapeake Fishing Reaches Spring Peak
Striped Boss Should Be Some Fish

the sale or possession Of any bass
under Is inches in length; forbid
the seining or netting of them and
the taking of more than six in one
day. Adequate protection, we would
say, for even the most conserva-
tive.
Yet Maryland and Virginia, in
possession of the striped bass nursery
that supplies the stock to populate
most of the Atlantic Coast, con-
tinues with such a regulation as an
1l-inch minimum size limit and a
maximum limit of Is pounds, the
latter not Statewide because it ex-
cepts certain section.
Laws make the catch OF a large
striper illegal this side of Smith
Point and okay on the other.
Striped bass need no help to sur
vive, the repopulation of the Chesa-
peake by the dominant brood of
1884 being ample proof of that
fact, but they do need protection
from indiscriminate commercial
fishing.
Slow to Demand Rights.
We have pointed out in the past
that sports anglers are slow to de-
mand their rights but that when
they do they often ask for more,
and get it, than they would have
been satisfied with in the first place
Due to the demand to make the
striped bass a game fish in other
Eastern States anglers in this sec
ton, remembering the swell fishing
which they enjoyed during the sea-
sons of 1889, are wondering why
they should not make the same de-
mand here.
They are organizing in small
groups and now seem to be willing
to do more than merely talk about
what they deem their inalienable
rights. They are asking that the
striped bass, just one species out of
many in the bay, be made a game
fish. Now is the time for CONNER
cial interests to realize their mis-
use of our marine resources and
cooperate. Tomorrow will be too
late.

Hardhead are being caught from
one end of the bay to the other.
This week end the procedure Is pick
your pet place, obtain your bait
and get going-after that little for
mality of making a reservation.
Ridge boats fishing the Middles
and the Point No Point areas have
been catching hardhead to the in
dividual desire of the angler. Some
catches have numbered several hun
dred hardhead and up to 100 trout.
Capt. Taft Tippett has been bring
ing them in weighing up to four
pounds.
The best fishing is from mid
morning until dark, but from now
on there is no reason why they
should not continue to bite through
out the night.
Solomons boats are getting hard
head on the hard bottom at the edge
of the deep water from Drum Point
to Cove Point, and striped bass at
Point Patience. There is no more
regularity about the latter, however,
than the Shadyside boats are find
ing on the Hilltop" in the mouth
of Eastern Bay. Some days they
get them. on others there isn't sign.
But hasn't that always been the way
with stripers in early summer?
Catch Trout and Hardhead.
Some trout have been caught in
upper bay waters during the last 10
days. but the best catch so far was
the even half dozen picked up yes
terdav by Ted Pickett fishing with
John F. Clark and Robert S. Stiles
Just north of the spar buoy at Cove
Point. With the trout they caught
30 hardhead.
Cobia haven't shown up in lower
bay waters but they are due almost
any day. Whether any blues come
along with them remains to be seen.
They have been caught in small
numbers at several points along the
coast, and there is a possibility
some might come through the capes
with their larger companions, the
cobia
Protects Striped Bass.
Maine protects the striped bass
against commercial fishing. New
Jersey partially has protected her
stripes for several years, and now
is seeking to make it game fish,
which would prevent commercial
fishing and place minimum size
and creel limits upon the catch
of anglers. Massachusetts, last week
passed in the House of Representa-
tives a protection bill with an
amendment providing for daily
bag limit of six fish to any one
person. The bill now goes to the
Senate and if passed by that body
in its present form will prohibit

looking down the barrel and pulling
the trigger when a brown deer
races through the forest may de-
velop double jitters when they see
a white animal instead.
The State Livestock Sanitary
Board. which slaughtered several
hundred native deer in a cattle
tick eradication program, has
started restocking with white deer
brought from breeding farms in the
Middle West.
The white deer are larger and
have bigger antlers than the Florida
native Whitehall. They're faster,
too. and probably will add new
thrills for a hunter who likes to
hear deep-voiced hounds baying
through the sWamps.
Twenty white deer have been
liberated in the Tosohatchee game
preserve in Orange County. Other
areas will be restocked later.
Hunting in the preserves will be
restricted but deer which range of
the breeding areas will be fair

AL boats based within the bounda-
riessof the District of Columbia, in
cluding craft at Alexandria, Va,
must be registered with the District
harbor master within 18 days, Har-
Dor Master William H. Carlin
warned today.
Failure to comply with the I'd an
nual boat registration, which ends
July /, will bring fines to owners,
1t. Carlin. who also heads the
harbor police precinct, said. The
registration may be done either by
mail or by bringing certain data to
the precinct, located at Sixth street
and Maine avenue S.W.
The following information must
be filed: Name Of owner and his
address and telephone number,
name of boat and its type, length
and beam; registration number of
vessel and location of boat.
All Must Be Registered.
All boats, whether a penguin
dinghy or a seagoing Diesel yacht,
must be registered under the law.
Registration this year and the
data collected would have direct
bearing on defense of the Capital
In the event of war, according to
some observers. The survey offers
the most comprehensive check of
Washington marine strength ever
assembled.
A second regulation, in effect
since last June, also provides au-
thorities close check of the move
ment of out-of town craft. 1t states
that any boat remaining more than
"a hours in the District must report
Its arrival to the harbor master
and check out again on departing.
600 Registered Last Year.
1t. Carlin, chief of the harbor
Office for the last six years, reports
that between 400 and 500 owners
have registered their boats thus
far. but that there are about 300
additional boatmen who have yet
to comply with the law.
Around 600 craft were registered
last year and the harbor master
said ne expected an increase this
year, due in part to newcomers
to the sport. He also believes there
are some owners ignorant of the
regulation last year who will come
through this time.
Since the waters of the District
include the high-water mark of the
Virginia shore. boatmen at Alex
andria also must register their
craft
To assure that their members will
not run afoul of the law Corinthian
and Capital Yacht Clubs have sent
out registration forms, which now
are being mailed directly to the
harbor master.
One last warning to local yachts
men: You are supposed to notify
the harbor master Immediately of
any change in your boats name,
ownership, location or registry

of course, is to force bombers to fly higher than the bags float, thus decreasing enemy accuracy, and to stop dive bOmbers from diving too close to their target. Three innova- taOns are being worked out here, however. which may further defiate ancient theories of military science.
 First, balloons are being built to float at an altitude of 15yOO0 feet or almost twice as high as those used in Britain. This means greater protection and more sway t othe cables, 1attas covering a greater area and forcing higher higher flying by the attackers.
 These giant sacks hold 10000 cubic feet of gas, support a cable 7-32 of an inch thick, take a ground crew of from 1S to 9 men to operate and have six huge lObes and a tail much like that used on dirigibles. ELAN TO PROTECT
 TROOPS WITH BALLOONS This makes a pretty formidable business floating in the air and when the balloons are in hidirg among small trees. you would swear fatat the age of dinosaurs and mannlotfas was still with us.

 And while the enemy Is bang ing away at the balloons, the de- fense presumably would be busy at something other than g game of Finch.
 Barrage balloons are spaced from one-half mile to a mile apart, which seems like and is space enough for a bomber Co slide through except for the fact the bags are not placed In a straight line or perfect circle, They are staggered in such a way that na attacking Alrman would strike a cable before he had pene- trated the defense line very far,
 Such is the theory and some of the practice of sending up floating gas bags to protect you from the hell of modern air raids. 1t must be something considerably more than theory, because the govern ment plans to spend SAS, ,000,0 900 on balloons,

 Third use being considered is the floating of one or two balloons to prevent bombers and attackers over warships of merchant vessels from zooming low to dump a bomb load of splatter ship with machine gun bullets.
 There are some other things around here to surprise you but they are not being photographed or written about. Mir. Hitler isn't the only person in this mans war with a secret weapon or three.
