Repairs to Bridge Check Fishermen;
Makes Benedict Most Popular Spot

Fishing in the Honga River, just
across the Chesapeake Bay from
Solomons Island, has been closed
to fishermen from this side not
through any order but due to repairs
on the bridge span. The run around
would require more than two hours,
which in these days is prohibitive.
This fishing grounds normally is
several days earlier opening up than
is Benedict, on the Patuxent. This
season it will be the nearby spot
that will get the crowds.
During the past five days catches
have been up to average, running
from 20 to SIS and weighing up to
pounds. Frank Del Veechio, as
usual, was in on the high catch.
They say down in Southeast Wash
ington: Follow Frank and find the
fish"
Benedict is one place in this area
where most of the fishing is ac-
complished from skiffs and where
it is possible in almost any kind
of weather. Power boats there are
just about as reasonable as any
where on bay or river, and the Jump
from buck a day to $l.50 for the
skiff hasn't met with the entire
approval of the fishing fraternity.
1t is difficult to say it isn't justified.
Herring Bay Fishing Spotty.
Down Herring Bay way catches
are spotty. The best going so far
has been on the edge Of the mud
along the Fairhaven shore. Capt.
Benny Manifold brought in 81 really
big hardheads Tuesday but on sew
eral days failed.
So many calls come in for in
formation about fishing on the
Gooses, the middle ground off the
mouth CT the Choptank River on
the Eastern Shore, that it seems
advisable to note this is late spot
The real fishing there gets under
way early in June, when the hard
heads have taken to the deeper
waters. And it is night fishing
that finds it at its best, and this is
not feasible now.
Some of the old-timers probably
could find their way around, even
on the dark of the moon, but most
anglers have little relish for that
kind of fishing.
Channel Bass Are Running.
Jack Keane is back from a try
for the channel bass at Oregon In
let. With him was Johnny Hill
and c. F. Grifhths Until the last
day they were forced to fish inside
for stripers, but when they did get
out they brought to boat 80 big
spot-tails weighing up to SIS pounds.
This week conditions are greatly
improved, and the boats are able to
| get over the bar.
