Jack George, probably the most

any more.
That is. unless George can be
persuaded to abandon his plans
to attend La Sale College in
Philadelphia, where he hopes to
concentrate his athletic endeavor
on basket ball.
George, former triple-threat
quarterback for st. Johns, left
last year at this time for Notre

about two weeks ago and the deal
probably will be completed next
week. I'm going to concentrate
on basket ball there and work for

While the storm Of last Sunday
night put q quietus on Chesa-
peake Bay fishing for "a hours,
everything now lis normal and just
about anywhere Is . good enough
place to catch fish Of one species
or another. Trout, which prior
to the northeaster Of q couple
of weeks ago were schooling on
top, seem to have spread out. and
when found in schools usually are
running fairly deep.
Perhaps this interesting phe-
nomena may be brought about
by the great number Of small
bluefish in the bay. Usually when
you run across a school Of blues
feeding on top. by allowing your
lure to drop down well beneath
them you'll hook into the trout
which are feeding on the pieces
Of bait fish sinking to them.
This also is often true in the
case of top feeding rockfish where
there is some depth of water be-
meath the school. It is well to let
your lure bump the bottom under
the top feeding fish and then re-
trieve it. Usually somewhere on
the way up the trout will take
over if they are there.
In this way, one frequently car
utilize undersized top feeding fish
to catch larger sized fish of an
other species. Try this out some
time. You may be surprised.

earlier in the season. It is nylon

than either steel or nylon, but

in the water. It Is put up in

Late reports from the Point
Lookout area state bluef1sh run
ming up to 20 inches are being
taken there. Fish Of this size
should run better than 2 pounds
in weight and taken on light
tackle will give plenty of sport.
Also boats going over to the
Southwest Middles have run into
cobia up to IS pounds in weight.
The blues, pan rock and trout are
running strong at Solomons and
trollers are having good success all
the way on up to Holland Point
above North Beach.
The big rockfish still seem to be
down in deep water and quite a
few have been taken lately over
the deeps holes near Point Pa
tience in the Patuxent. School
rockfish In the area near Tall
Timbers have been running larger
than those out in the bay. While
the hardhead takes are slimming
off, the spots still are to be found
everywhere and quite few trout
are being taken along with them
by bottom anglers.
Fresh water angling has picked
up and with good water conditions
prevailing in the Potomac and its
tributaries should offer some sport
this week end. II you have your
Maryland hunting license. take it
and your favorite shotgun along
with you. Then If fishing con-
