Full reports from party boat operators were not available when
this bit of hodgepodge was being beaten together but from the num-

the weekend.
Incidentally 5d n RIO Roy Cook cook, the he Sta Star : Sports Editor. laid it on rather
hn the family during recent trips to piers in the area. Well he is
light for she done it again. She catches them on what she terms
a piece Of suihg"-hand line to you. From now on I am going to
discard the rod and reel and fish with a bent hook and piece Of black
thread perhaps I can catch a sand perch at least.
By the way-a word OF warning to those fishermen who are going
to JOIN the party tomorrow morning when II boats are expected to go
outside in a pack hunt for sail. Be sure you set your alarm and get
to your craft on dme-one late person can hold up the entire fleet.
GOOD FISHING.
