Fishing Near Virginia Beach.
L. S.-Am going to spend the
last Ueek OF August at Virginia
Beach. Can I get good channel
bass fishing there at that time?
Cape Henry, the beach up the bay
to Willoughby Point and the beach
below the cape really is f1shy water,
but while channel bass are caught
the surf fishing isn't on a par with
that to be had at Cape Charles
across the bay.
At any inlet there always is one
point that has the real fishing while
the other has little or none. The
currents and channels are RESPONSE
BILE for this condition. 1t is true
here with respect to channel bass.
We would suggest driving down the
beach toward the North Carolina
line. Late August finds the schools
on the way south. There should
be good fishing in the surf.
L. R.-Are the tuna being
caught OF Ocean City, Nd, the
same as those caught in Nopa
Scotia' II so, 10hy do they not
run larger?
Both are bluefin tuna. Those
along the Maryland and Jersey
coasts usually are referred to as
school tuna, for they travel so, and
each school is made up of approx
mately the same size fish. The small
est are about IS pounds, while the
largest weigh about $50 pounds. In
such large concentrations as off the
Maryland coast this summer. the
schools mix to some extent. Large
tuna weighing several hundred
pounds have been noted. although
Andy Geminy's 135-pounder caught
last week is the largest ever brought
into Ocean City.

bass season IN n0n-tidGl matters

The Maryland bass season in
waters above the ebb and flow Of
the tide did open June IS according
to law passed by the Legislature
early this year. We believe you are
referring to the overlapping of the
spawning season by the open sea-
son, about which we had many other
requests for the reason for the
change.
There were other provisions in
the same bill so important it was
thought inadvisable to take excep-
ton to the extension of the bass
season at that time. There is lit
tie doubt but what it will be
rescinded at the next session.
