The Battle of the Bays is over
1t was long time in the making
but the s1O0 side-bet of Capt Ran
dolph Harrison of Tilghmans must
have famed the controversy into
actual fire, for within two weeks the
bet was covered, teams were selected
and the actual fishing accomplished
to prove that the Delaware Bay
has better fishing than the Chesa-
peake.
But did the catch of sos fish
weighing 614 pounds by Delaware
shippers prove that, because Chesa-
peake guides caught only 296 fish for
a total of 1896 pounds? We do not
believe 1t did. or ever could. Next
week these figures could be reversed,
because the small 2-year old hard
head will be gone from the break
water and the large stripers and
trout will be more numerous in the
Choptank River.
1t was lots of fun. however. and
the Pennsylvania anglers, for whose
trade the two bays were contending
probably will continue to fish where

Channel Bass Scarce.
Channel bass are few and far
between at Wachapreague, but it
was the last week in July last sum-

catches of yesterday hardly were

to believe tomorrow's will be the
same. Anything is possible in fish,
ing Bass are in Maryland and
Virginia waters, and will stay until
it Is time to start south late this

Fishing on the Gooses is as er-
ratio as any place on the bay. One
night the catches will average
scarcely 20 and the next run to
several hundred. The number of
