B. H., city-what section of South
ern Florida is your recommendation
for q fishing vacation at this season
of the year?
For tarpon Boca Grande is hard
to beat right now. That equally is
true of any of the passes below
Tampa Bay on the West Coast.
Next, we would prefer the Florida
Key section-for boneflsh. permit
and tarpon. Many anglers are
learning Florida has far more to
offer the angler at this time of the
year than in midwinter.
C. j., Arlington-I purposely have
delayed going to Ocean City for
the marlin fishing, believing August
to be better than July. You fail to
note the catches of other years
is it because the fish aren't there?
We wouldn't say the marlin aren't
of the Maryland Coast this sum-
mer because just about the time
we believe they are gone the skip
pers find the fish again.
Just yesterday Harold Hodges,
fishing with DR.. Ivan Rutkowski
on Capt. B. L. Raymond's Lev-Lou,
caught a 67-pounder and raised
another. A 73-pound fish was caught
on another boat and many others
were sighted. Yet during the pre-
ceding 10 days only three were
brought in.
1t appears that boats at Ocean
City this season have been con-
centrating on tuna and that might
be the reason for only 81 marlin
being caught since the beginning OF
the run late in June.
August generally is accepted a,
being better fishing because the fish

Dope on Pike Fishing.
DR.. r. G., city-You never men
ton pike fishing in your column
and I have heard this is a gooc
section for them. Would you tel
something about this fishing?
In northern waters pike fishing
is good throughout the summer. Ir
this area the fishing starts in mid.
September, and at that time we viii
note it in detail. The headwater,
of South River, the Severn and 9
stretch of over 10 miles of the
Patuxent Is productive of gooc
catches of pike. Many of the So
called salt ponds in Southern Mary
land have large pike populations
The fresh ponds of the Eastern
Shore and Delaware are noted pike
waters.
R. D., city-There Is considerable
difference of opinion as to the bes,
tackle for bay fishing. What do you
use?
A Al foot bass rod. weighing not
more than three ounces, with s.
pound test nylon. or tournament
line on a small reel is our choice
for 95 per cent of all bay fishing
1t is more fun because it make:

Should Stand Their
Share Of Burden,
Asserts Ickes
Yachting Already Feels
Stern Affects With
Future in Cloud
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.
The important question of what
Hes ahead for boat owners here and
elsewhere on the East Coast when
proposed plans for more rigid steps
to conserve gasoline 60 into effect
remains only partly answered today.
One thing is certain. Rigid ra-
tioning on the part of either con-
sumers or retailers is just around
the corner. And that includes mo-
torboat operators who use their
yachts for pleasure.
Petroleum Co-ordinator Harold
Ickes, when questioned at his press
conference yesterday on what
yachtsmen may expect, had this to
say:
If the boats are employed solely
for pleasure, then the owners should
bear their fair share of the load"
Fair Share" Not Determined.
just what is considered by the
Government as fair share" Mr..
Ickes would not say, although it
was pointed out to him that boat
owners buy their gas, not gallons
at time, but by the 50-gallon lot.
Yachts converted to Navy or Coast
Guard, of course, have nothing to
fear. It's the fellow who gasses up
and attempts to get away from it all
for a short while who must worry.
The latter does not come under the
head of national defense.
An important official of the Amer
lean Power Boat Association pointed
out yesterday that motorboat people
consume only fraction of all gas
used in this country, as compared
with the volume burned by the
American motorist. This fact, he
felt, might have some bearing on
the Governments actions when the
Secretary of Interior decides to take
the next STEP
That step. authorities agree. will
be taken within very short time.

However, Washington and other
East Coast yachtsmen who cruise
