The Ocean City marlin story
actually begins with the inlet.
A giant storm backed up the
waters Of Sinepuxent Bay, and
when released, these ripped
their way through the strip Of
sand that formed the lowest
part Of the island. Oddly
enough. 1t occurred at the exact
spot that an inlet had been

because the storm carved the
inlet from which the marlin
boats now issue to chase their
acrobatic quarry.
But that was "a years ago
this Friday--August %, 1888,
to be exact. August 20 is i'm
portant on the Ocean City cal
endar. It was on that date in
1884 that the first white marlin
catch is credited to a Balti-
Imorean. And on that date in
1871, Capt. Jim Whaley's boat
took the first blue marlin.

now lives in Ocean City and
also has q place at Rehoboth
Beach.
In 1885 the Townsends owned
an auxiliary-powered schooner
from which they fished on
Ocean City. They learned that
marlin came in over Q rise in
the ocean floor known as the
Jackspot and that the native
fishermen did not know how
to catch them.
Employing the sailfishing
technique used in Florida, the
brothers began catching them.
The following year, the
brothers bought the Jackpau

in sport fishing boats. AS their
guide they employed the late
Bill Hatch. who had guided
fishermen in all parts Of the
world.

A final check as to whether
the fuel contains water can be
made after you have thoroughly
dried out the cylinders and

when the valve is opened, the
chances are that your fuel is

Spark Trouble
A quick way Of checking the
spark is to disconnect the high
tension wire from the plug.
Hold the end Of the wire about
a quarter inch from the near
est metal on the motor and
turn the motor over a few
times. If a spark jumps the
gap it means the magnetic and
points are working.
Next remove the spark plugs,
taking care to use the right
size wrench to avoid cracking
the porcelain. Inspect the
plug points for signs Of mois-
ture or oil fouling. Then dry
on the plugs. reconnect the
high tension wire and lay the
plug on its side. Turn the
motor over a few times, check

By CHARLES COVELL

To the fisherman, the name Ocean City, Md, is
synonymous with white marlin
Ocean City is the white marlin capital of the
world because nowhere else are they found in such
concentration in the summertime And in turn the
finny fighters helped to build Ocean City into a
thriving resort.
