These fish are not strays but

However, Springer personally

for blue marlin on Hatteras.
ODonnell also has taken blue
marlin in the Bahamas. But
let ODonnell tell Of their "trip:
During last summers fish,
ing trips to Cape Hatteras in
quest Of blue marlin we were
informed by Capt. Edgar Sty-
ron that during March. 1857,
he had had tackle smashed by
large and heavy fish he thought
were tuna. The presence Of
tuna also was rumored by COM
fnercial fishermen.
Shortly after February I
Jack Snyder and I decided to
find the answer. So far as We
knew bluefin. had never been
taken in the winter on the East
Coast.
I'VE called Cape Hatteras
and found Styron was fishing
q private boat on Fort Lauder
dale and wouldn't be back until
March. Subsequent to this call
the presence Of bluefin tuna
was further confirmed by the
capture Of q 245-pound flsh
which beached himself over
zealously trying to catch bait
fish in the surf at Hatteras.
I'VE were able to contact
Styron shortly after his re-
turn and made arrangements
for the trip. We were extremely
fortunate in hitting the tail
end Of q norther that gave US
q calm ocean-almost too calm.
With US were my son, Jim, 10:
Jacks son. Johnny. 10, and
daughter, Barbara, IL.
Take ROckfish ~ Bait
I'VE had taken our own
frozen bait, namely II roekfish
weighing an average Of 1H
pounds each, as Edgar had said
that good bait might not be
available. We were equipped
for big fish with 1870 and
1910 reels carrying 800 and
1000 yards Of l20-pound test
line.
I'VE took q course directly
for the lightship east southeast
Of Hatteras Inlet. q distance of
III miles. and trolled light
tackle with 30-pound test line
shortly after clearing the bar.
About 8 miles outside Of the
inlet and still in the lee Of Cape
Hatteras we had our FIRST strike
and passed the rod to young
Johnny, believing that we had
hooked . bonito that would
make good bait. We soon real
lied that such was not the case
and I took the fish in 40 min
utes-a 93-pound bluefin.
Boats More Tuna
I'VE continued to 1ish this
area for an hour or so but
were not successful in raising
another 1ish. We then con-
tinued on out past the light
ship and hit the edge of the
Gulf Stream somewhere be-
TWEEN z and 8 miles southeast.
There we took two more tuna.
weighing 80 and SO pounds, all
on Japanese feathers.
"As 1t was an experimental
trip. we changed our method
Of fishing to deep trolling along
the edge Of the stream at
depths of 100 and $50 feet,
using the rockfish as bait. We
had other strikes but pulled
the hooks. Later We took a
small mako shark weighing "a
pounds.

school tuna found OF Maryland
and New Jersey during the
summer as these school fish
average 30-35 pounds. Where
they come from. how long they
remain and where they 60 re-

that fishing during the winter

Last week told you something

business When business is good and
there is a growing demand for the
goods manufactured by the various
corporations and the corporations
are making money, the market
prices OF stocks 90 up and when
this state OF affairs is in existance
we say we are in a bull market.
When more goods have been pro-
duced than there is a ready mar
ket for, as is the case right now,
corporations cut down on production,
lay off some Of their workers, and
earn less money When a period
like this is with us and the market

say We are in a bear market.

they tried to find out from him
what the stock market WAS likely

true. the stock market always has
fluctuated up and down and it is
my opinion that Il always viii. 1t
is because the stock market does
fluctuate up and down for various
reasons, | mentioned that you might
sustain loss even if you owned
good stocks and sold them at the
wrong time.
For instance if you bought a

when the price of stocks happened

to sell 1t when We were in a bear
market, you might sustain a fifty

Mutual Insurance Taxes 4
Times Heavier Than
Stock Firms

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-(CNS)
Twin Cities mutual insurance
firms pay more than four times as
much of each premium dollar in
federal income taxes as stock COM
Panies do.
A trade association survey here
shows that six mutual fire and
casulty firms with headquarters
here had $35 million in premiums
and paid $452, 1000 in income taxes.
That's 13 mills tax for every dol
lar.
At the same time, eight stock
companies had $146 million pre-
mium and paid $419,0OO in taxes.
That's three mills tax from every
dollar.
