building up among the angling fra
ternity since last November, is COM
mencing to break out IN a real rash
Of fishing.
Winter shad are in the Potomac
and soon will be along the walls in
Washington Channel and the Tidal
Basin, providing sport for snaggers
Catfish are beginning to take hold
I'D the Potomac, and bank fishermen
report fair catches. Best bait right
now is shad CUTS, which you can get
at the fish markets on Maine ave-
nue.. Take a tip from us and use
rubber gloves when you put this bait
on your hook. 1t will save you
black looks from your good wife
after your trip.
Yellow perch started a run at
Aliens Fresh last week, and some
remarkable catches were made OF
nice-sized fish. Bait Is obtainable
at the Fresh now, and for the next
two or three weeks the sport there
should be excellent.

q lot Of times, and he spelled his
name the same way and he played

it's the same guy"
Plainly, Latona was no help In

Gantt's condensed pedigree (cour-
