Those of us who have been
passing up the fishing at some
Iof the lower Potomac River
points have been missing a good
bet. At the risk of mourning the
Ienmity of many who fish there
we're going to write about our
trip last Saturday to Morgan
town, Md, after rockfish.
Gene Newport who makes the
Newport lures, asked us to join
him in trolling trip off the
famed Morgantown Point Bar.
There's nothing we like better
than trolling for rock with little
or no sinker, especially in pleas
ant company. so at 4:20 am. we
met Newport and AL Burke in
front OF Genes home. To get to
Morgantown take Route 5 past
Waldorf until it joins Route 3Ol
and journey toward the Morgan
town bridge. About a mile short
of the bridge you turn left on
Route 3 as though going to Cobb
Island, and then right at the
junction of Route 229 on to Nor
.gantown. Park your car at the
waters edge.
Boats may be rented from
Leonard Thompson, for So a day
but you will need your own out
board motor. OF course, if you
fish fol perch or spot or hard
heads, bottom fishing that is, you
could row out, but it would be a
tough row. Gene has his own
boat a tough fibre glass covered
solid ribbed boats which holds
four comfortably and is powered
by a 15-h.p. motor. AL Burke,
being the strong man of the
party, handled the motor cit

You fish here with small buck
tails on No. 10 or 20 hooks and
a small strip of pork rind at

manufacture and of white buck
tail with white heads. We used
a long leader, possibly Is to 20
feet, attached to a one ounce
swiveled sinker which in turn
was attached by a snap swivel
to our lines. Bay rods and reels
with the usual nylon OF dacron
lines are right.
We trolled the bar which runs
toward the lighthouse at the
edge of the channel, easily Wis
ible. 1t was flood tide when we
arrived and Gene told us that
from experience we could count
on little action until the tide
started running. Above the light.

buoy which was standing up
right, an indication of no tide

ever, and had for company some
Is other boats. No one was
much except small
throwback rock, with an occa-i
sional perch. So we decided to
go in and after breakfast went
out again. The tide had started
to move out. so we fished the
lower edge of the bar and I'M
