HATTERAS ISLAND
PEOPLE VIEWING
FUTURE PROBLEMS
Strong Sentiment Growing For
Organizing Civic Group or
Chamber of Commerce

The fast development of Hat
teras Island has brought forth so
many new problems of interest to
the whole Island, that many citi-
zens are awaking to the need for
a strong and efficient civic or
trade organization to work for the
interests of the island as whole
and to keep abreast of the times.
There are many other problems
expected to arise in the not too
distant future, and effective dis
position of them may not be ex-
pected without a strongly united
group to represent the island. One
of them is the indispensable ferry
service, at times the despair of
and sore spot with residents and
tourists.
Business interests of the island
are much concerned with the ru-
mors making the rounds, that
there are insufficient accommoda-
tions for tourists. They believe a
lot of business has been kept
away, bcause this old out-dated lie
keeps in circulation, and occasion
ally gets fresh circulation from
jealous competitive interests.
Business men of the island are
leaning more and more to the idea
of advertising and boosting the is

RECORDS BROKEN
AT OREGON INLET
AND HATERAS
Sixty or More White Marlin;
Other Big Fish Through Last
Week Since July
BY AYCOCK BROWN

Sixty or more white marlin have
been boated off Oregon Inlet and
Mays Head by anglers skipping
bait out of Oregon Inlet since
July 1, an average of approximate
ly two each day and the peak of
this billfishing for the season was
reached last week when 81 were
boated and brought into port.
During late July a dozen or
more sailfish have been landed,
along with three blue marlin and
dolphin which are largest brought
in, in numbers so great during
the history of fishing in waters
off Mays Head and Oregon Inlet
and Hatteras.
Capt. C. L. Stallings, skipper of
the cruiser Carrov, at Oregon In
let, said one of the reasons so
many marlin have been caught is
because shippers are now skipping
bait more consistently. "That is
the way to catch a billfish," he
said, "skip the bait from outrig-
gers" But, all the billfish have
not been caught on skipped bait.
Some have been landed on artifi-
cial lures of nylon, trolled in wake
of boats for dolphin, at the time
marlin have hit. Capt. Sam Tillett,
skipper of the cruiser Cat, and his
son and mate Tony have made big
catches without skipping bait. On
Sunday, with T. H. Old Jr., Great
Bridge, Va, aboard along with H.
H. Thomas and Julian Greenough
also of Great Bridge, accounted for
a 285 pound blue marlin and
six foot white marlin. Old boated
each of the fish and he caught
them without using skipped bait.
