No one other than the County

the Hill at the edge Of which
the bottom drops suddenly from
depths Of 10 to 30 feet to 100
and more.
This time we brought out
heavy tackle-wire lines and
heavy sinkeTs. Again using
small hucktails with q bit of
pork rind attached we picked
up a few fish, about half of
keeper size. Roxie caught the
best. a 3-pound trout.
North Of us several boats
we're trolling and Roxie spotted
gulls wheeling in a tight circle.
Hauling in our lines, we hurried
toward Bloody Point light.
Fish were breaking on the
surface. the water boiling in
some places. IN addition to
our heavy rigs we put out two
free floating surface lines, also
with bucktails as lures. Action
was immediate and we began
hauling in rockfish, some 60
ing over 2 younds, to 2-pound
blues and occasionally q blue
that would 60 closer to 3
pounds. Now and then a trout
would join the collection.
In the furry there was q
sharp pull on Janoff's surface
line. Grabbing the spinning
rod. he began to reel. The drag
was tremendous and as it
neared the boat an odd object
Closer. 1t was clearly q wing
and when Janoff's catch was
netted 1t was found to be one
very dead seaguil and one quite
lively. though small. rockfish.
Apparently the gull dived for
the rock as it took the lure.
Somehow the monofilament
.ooped around the birds neck
and he met an untimely end.
The fishing was sporadic, the
water churning for a few mo-
ments as the fish broke and
then going quiet again. We
chased gull concentrations in
The Bloody Point area until
ate afternoon when Roxie de-
;ided to return to Herring Bay
IN the Western shore and try
III Holland Point.
There were no fish breaking
IN the bar there and we troIled
blind with shallow rigs. Roxie
taught one keeper fish and
ieveral understood rock were
)oated.
