In the first instance, Larry HiTseh, empIoye of the publicity

He had.
In the second sequence of the story Mrs. L. B. Mccormick,
Wrghtsvile Beach tried her hand for the first time. She came
up with two puppy drum, both caught on short casts while using
shrimp bait on No. 6 hooks.
The trout are starting to run at Luna Pier. Some nice ones
were hooked the last several nights. Incidentany-the pier has
finally joined sENcBA and fish caught from the pier are now
eligible for rodeo prizes.
Mrs; Thomas H. Watts, Southport, called yesterday to inform
US the blues were running off the shoals. Parties fishing from
Capt Watts idle On" and "Botfly' and returned with catches up
to $50 fish. Some drum and sheepshead have been included, she
said.
