O'Brien, of the New York Herald
Tribune and the Philadelphia
Enquirer, respectively, ch o S e
Captain Reggie Trevor and his
charter boat Osprey II" for an
hours fishing of their own, while
awaiting the return of the PreSi-
dental fishing party on Friday.
Though their fishing was nee
essarily limited to an area from
where they could spot the re-
turn of the Dolphin" and the
Sandy" and then get back to
the sub base in a hurry, in that
short time they caught two bar
racudas and a nice grouper.
1--WE think that was pretty
good" said Tom Twitty at the La
Concha hotel that night, as
spokesman for the two. Captain
Trevor was handicapped both
for time and choice of fishing
grounds. We only wish we could
have spent a full day with him
on the Osprey"
Though Twitty halls from an
other part of Florida-he was
born in Jacksonville-he volun-
teered to say: Il think Key West
has the best climate in Florida"
During the inspection of Dry
Tortugas by the Presidential
fishing party, 1t. S. E. Clark, ex-
ecutive officer of the OpDev
Centre Annex at the sub base
here, had the thrill of his seeing
his own signature in the Tortu-
gas register. He signed it during
a stop-over there, in 1897, while
in the submarine service.
Captain Lefty Reagan and his
Mate George Bassette of the sea
Raider" received a letter and a
present each last Friday from the
Bowditches of Manhasset, Long
Island, in further appreciation OF
the several days of fishing they
enjoyed with them during their
stay in Key West.
Not always is it fish-serlous
clients who charter Key Vests
sport fishing cruisers and guides.
Often enough, it is a host who |
wants his guests to mark their
visit as a memorable one.
Such client is big, good-natur-
ed Pop" Wylk,\ who has the
luncheonette and popcorn stand
on Duval. Recently, he chartered
the ''Heidi-Ho" and Captain Red"
Maxwell for an outing with his
cousins, Mr.. and Mrs. G. Joinidas
of Floral Park, Long Island, guests
at his home at 3040 Seidenberg
Avenue here. They were accom-
panied on the trip by his wife,
Eleanor, and their grandson,
John.
1t was rough out at sea. Nep-
tune flashed them a timely warm
ing from Sand Key. #
They trolled for! a while. how
ever, catching several fish before
returning to quieter waters,
where they anchored. There,
they lunched, lounged, and chat
ted with the skipper and his mate,
Alberto Del Vale, enjoying re-
taxing afternoon.
ITO folks used to northern
SEAS" declared the Joinidas, key
West waters are colorful and fas-
cinating"
Pop" Wylk says that after they
had reached home, they also add
ed: Captain Maxwell is interest
ing and a gentleman"
Back in service at the Gulf
fishing pier after overhauling, the
bottom-fishing boat Greyhound"
started anew with a big catch of
pan fish last Wednesday.
Visiting fishermen were: Jack |
Salt of Miami, Fla; Capt. and
Mrs. Jack w. WhitSett of Panama
City, Fla, and Dan Goodman of
New York.
Key West was represented by:
Paul Baron, Norval Read, Mr..
and Mrs. John H. Garretson, Hen
ry Startling and Charles Kissel.
Old-time Key Wester Charlie
Demeritt was on hand as usual to
help generally and fish a little
for himself.
Honors for the biggest fish
caught went to. Charles Kissell of
the Navy Store on Duval, with
three large mutton snappers.
Honors for the most fish caught
were taken by the Garretsons,
who lost track after counting up
to 35.
Of Henry Startling, Captain Nc
Cloud said: GAS a fisherman,
Startling is a flop" His shy mate,
Tommy Lones, merely shook his
head.
