One Of our good friends who
has fished in this area all season
says he has spent $78.36 so far on
boats, bait. etc., and has caught
one hardhead weighing less than
a pound. This covers five trips.
He says he knows when he's

A few spot were caught this last
week end in the lower Patuxent
and a few summer blues" were
