Jim O,Donnell. Johnny Dono-
hoe and Joe Whitehead, just
back from Cape Hatteras. have
a most unusual story. They were
plagued for almost a week with
bad weather. then the wind
finally swung around to the west,
the ocean Gained somewhat and
they were treated with the first
sight of their quarry, blue mar
lin. A fish estimated to weigh
between 600 and TOO pounds and
nearly Is feet long came up be-
hind and looked their bait over,
then turned away. The weather
had been so bad the bait boats
could not get out and their bait
was too frazzled to tempt the
big fellow. This was at $3.50
pm. Thursday. About an hour
later another big fish rose and
swatted Donohoe's bait. tearing
the body from the head and
turning away to devour it. This
was a smaller fish although a
good-sized one.
Friday an angler from Bal
timore landed a 467-pounder,
the only fish Of the week. How
ever, within two days during
which the weather permitted
Capt. Edgar Styron and Capt.
Ernal Foster to get out, seven
were sighted. This beats any
thing Bimini has to offer and
certainly equals Cabo Blanco,
famous for blue marlin fishing.
4 4 + =
O'Donnell says he's convinced
Hatteras shortly will become the
foremost fishing port on the At
lantic Coast. It is only q ques-
ton Of availability of boats and
tackle, and with the blue marlin
in the quantities and size found
there, 1t probably will be only a
matter OF time before q world
record fish is taken. At Cabo
Blanco, the cold Humboldt
and warm Japanese currents
meet, causing a concentration of
bait and big game fish,. At
Hatteras the cold Labrador cur
rent meets the warm Gulf
Stream under quite similar con-
ditions and with similar results.
1t is believed that in the spring.
the big fish as well as bait fish
are halted at this juncture until
the summer sun warns top
waters, when they spread out,
some ranging up the coast.
Then in the fall, colder waters
coming down from the North
drive both the marlin and the
bait fish back to the Gulf Stream,
providing a second season of
Hatteras.
Capts. Styron and Foster are
equipped for this sort Of fishing
