Dear Folks:
Come on quit complaining about
the weather and let's go fishingl
These zooming temperatures arc an
nual affairs and will be with us for
some time yet. That is why we
are living in the grandest valley in
the world. The heat makes things
grow and permits early marketing
of our products from our vast in
comparable agricultural region.
Instead Of grumbling and declar-
ing. Lord but it's hot! and Its
not the heat but the humidity that
gets me down! why not say. I'VE
are having a grand time this sum-
mer, no coats, no ties and no for
mality." We are enjoying a season
of relaxation when you and your
friends are John and Bill and Mary
to one another. Where else in this
troubled world do such informal,
lasting friendship exist?
Of course all of us need a little
change and diversion occasionlly, TO
keep us from becoming stale. That
diversion lies to the west, from two
to three hours and half by or
dinary motor travel.
The lakes in the San Diego noun
tains are providing an abundance
of sport for anglers who like to
catch bass, crappie. catfish, trout
and other varieties of game edible
fish.
GET THE LIMIT
A few day ago our friend Joe
Powelson, whose ready smile is one
of the drawing cards at the Glenn
ents Drug store, Police Judge l.. Lee
! Nuffer and Bill North, tried their
luck at Moreno dam. Each got his
| limit of bass within comparative
ly short space of time. Other local
fishermen have done equally as well
in the lakes and streams Of the San
Diego mountains. A nice feature
about these trips is the fact that
you can take the family along.
Maybe the wife would like to do some
angling too, or perhaps the boys of
the group. Anyhow they will find
things to do and places to go in
the wide open spaces.
Perhaps lake fishing will not ap-
peal to you. Rather, you may prefer
to achieve a sword fish or giant
tuna II you do, one of the finest
fishing grounds in existence lies in
! the vicinity of the Coronado Is
lands about 20 miles southwest of
San Diego.
Although deep sea fishing got off
to a late start this year, the sport
is becoming increasingly better
! daily. The fish, mostly yellowtall
tuna, barracuda and bottom fish
have been present in San Diego
offshore waters since early summer
but did not start to bite until re-
Gently. On Ell Cenro angler reported
that during the early part of the
summer, the ocean waters literally
teemed with myriads Of small crabs
on which the fish satiated theil
hunger.
