Fishing in Chesapeake Bay
continues good, with so many
fine catches reported of every
species that there is not room
to list them. Best bluefishing has
been over the Southwest Middles
below Point Lookout and on up
the Eastern shore as far as
Sharps Island Light. Catches
from the Sharps Island and
Popular Island neighborhoods
contain many fish running from
two to three pounds.
Eskew Grant. just back from
q vacation near Tall Timbers in
the lower Potomac tells US they
are catching rockfish trowling
and casting in shallow water
over and along the edges Of weed
beds. The small Tony Acetta
bats. f1shed on long leaders with
no sinkers and laid well behind
the boat are doing the best so
far. Small Lusby lures with pork
strip should also work well. I'm
doubtedly this type Of fishing
will come to the fore all up the
western shore of the bay within
the next few weeks, as bait is
plentiful and close to shore. Fish
up to five pounds are not uncom-
mon, although most will average
below three pounds.
Now that the basic regulations
are out for hunting wild water
fowl, we are commencing to get
a flood of inquiries about renting
duck blinds. Each year we ask
our readers who may have a
mind to build blinds for rent
for the coming season to let us
know about them so we can pass
on information. We'd appreciate
hearing from any of you again
this year. Just call us at Ma
tional 8-1988 or drop us a line in
care of The Star.
Although they've been out for
quite some time and were noted
in this column August /, we are

noon and end at sunset. Mary

FORE AND AFT

The American Power Boat AS
ISOLATION, 50-year-old governing
body for United States speed
boating, may be in for a haSsle
at it's annual meeting in Novem-
Der.
Red-faced officials have just
notified their 4,035 members
throughout the country that the
nominating committee through
some unexplained slipup has
failed to file its slate of officers
for the next year in time to COM
ply with the bylaws.
William A. Smith. APBA chief
counsel, has ruled that since the
committee didn't submit a slate
by August the ballot can in
clude only candidates whose
names are submitted by petition
before September !.
Some members Of the NOM
mating committee, apparently
concerned over the flub, have
been wiring or otherwise filing
names. No go, says Lawyer
Smith, adding: 1.-THE nominating
committee must act as a COM
mittee and not by individual
members thereof"
Smith goes on to state that
under New York law which gov
ems the association in this in
stance it is mandatory that
officers of a membership corpo-
ration be chosen as provided in
the bylaws and that failure to
comply will render an election
illegal if not asquiesced in by
all the membership. "A protest
to the election at the annual
meeting would have to be sus-
tained," he states.
It's a ready made situation
for "sea lawyers of which there
are a few in APBA. There's a
hot time coming at New Orleans
this fall.

"Didden is a hard runner and

SWEET says. He got a bad
charley horse against Carroll in
our third game last year and
the team fell apart the rest of
the season. Doc Lentz (the
Senators trainer) said it was
the worst charley horse he had
ever seen. That's one reason
we dropped St. Johns and Car

ing you take from those big

Another reason to suspect an
improved record is the return
of Dick Hannibal, a good tackle
who was injured two years ago
against Wilson and hasn't played
since. He probably will be an

for the TANKS are Bob Ellis. a
