OUTDOORS
Fishing Trips to North CoroIino Points
Held Not Worth While at This Time

Some Johnny Newcomers, believ-
Ing the bay country waters fishable
throughout the winter, have been
disappointed. Finding Southern
Florida too far, stories of Hatteras
and Southport, N. c., have caught
the fancy Of many.
1t is true there always is some
kind of fishing, puppy drum on the
beach and hardheads and seabass,
but 1t is not worth a round-trip
drive of 800 miles during January
and February. particularly when the
same rubber on the old jalopy would
allow a dozen or more close-by
jaunts from May on through the
summer.
It is in late May that the Gulf
Stream fish appear at Frying Pan
Shoals and Southport isn't really
attractive until then. The peak
is reached In late summer and early
fall and at that time is well worth
a trip.
At Hatteras the fall run Of chan
mel bass is good until Christmas.
After that there is little to interest
fishermen until April, when the
channel bass return.
So, If the deep south isn't possible,
the best advice is to hold everything
until spring.

ermen take heavy toll.
We are in complete agreement
with the idea, although the early
opening had an allure which will be
missed.
Protection Is Essential.
If trouting did not depend wholly
upon the ability of the State to stock
the fish, the later season would be
mandatory, for stream Matched fish
must be protected. Were that not
true trout fishing today would not
be but little different from what it
was 100 years ago. In Maryland
streams, naturally, Matched trout are
few and far between.
When the time comes, if at all,
that Maryland can raise double the
number of legal-sized trout the
hatcheries are able to turn out now,
then the open season could stand
the earlier opening. This season,
with a small crop and many streams
having no carryover because of the
extended dry weather, the April Is
opening will aid the hatchery men to
spread their small stock to q far
better advantage
With the proposed halving Of the
normal creel limit of 10 for the 1912
season on all State streams, there
will be enough time for the Mary
land Game and Inland Fish Com
mission to bring the stream popula-
ton back to normal by 1943.
