of dozen IL to is inch fish and
q half dozen that weighed 2
to 6 pounds. Yellow bucktails
with yellow head seem to be
the preferred lure, while of
Punch Island, No. Is Tony
Accetta spoons did the best.
At Benedict Harry Shorter
says he never has seen so many
small rockfish in the Patuxent.
Some large ones are among
them. he said, and the other
morning he took II weighing
from 4 to 7 pounds. The next
morning, although the water
was rough, he caught seven.
Best trolling is on Parker's
Lump above Broome Island.
Boats out of Deale are catch
ing some fish, mostly small, of
Fair Haven. Up above the Bay
Bridge trolling is spotty.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-11-06

Fall trolling for rockfish has
improved, very definitely, but
from all reports it still is hit
and miss. There continue to be
far more understood fish than
keepers and only here and
there are rock Of limit-size
being taken.
Best fishing in Chesapeake
Bay seems to be on the Gooses,
Diamonds and Stone Rock
Boats out Of Chesapeake Beach
and Tilghman Island have been
hitting fish weighing from A
pounds up, early in the morn
ing and late in the afternoon
Some of the catches have been
excellent.
Tilghman boats have given
UP cumming with soft claims
and turned to trolling. They
report taking from 20 to 40
rock per trip trolling the false
channel in the mouth of the
CHI optank and of Sharp's
Island. The fish weigh 2a
to S pounds with occasionally
a buster.
From Morgantown on the
Potomac down to Blakiston
and Cobb Islands and out OF
Colonial Beach occasional good
catches can be made. The rock
seem to be moving on and of
the Morgantown bar.
At Point Lookout Capt. Louis
Bean reports a five to six-acre
school breaking early in the
morning and late in the after
noon just off Smiths Creek,
The fish are small although
there seems to be more keepers
among them. Bean says about
two out of three are keepers
with so or 60 being taken per
trip. Some go to 2 or 3 pounds.
Up at Solomons Island boats
were crossing the bay and
hitting good-sized fish off
Punch Island last week. Some
weighed 2 to 4 pounds while
perhaps six to a dozen would
go to the 15-pound limit.
Many small fish are off Little
Cove and Cedar Points and all
up the Patuxent River. Quite
a number of keepers are there
and some 2 to S Founders being
taken.

enough canvasbacks or other

Lake Christiana, famous fol
its duck hunting, is a way point
for the "cans" in their travels
to Lake st. Clair, the big con-
centration point for the whole
Northwest Territory.

Allowed Mistake Bird"
Shown a letter from a reader
suggesting that 1t might have
been better to have declared q
closed season on canvaSbacks,
Janzen said, 1--WE would have
been entirely justified in cut
ting of canvasbacks. We also
realized that many hunters
would have trouble identifying
the birds. so we allowed one
mistake" bird per hunter.
On the second question,
whether duck stamp funds go
primarily for breeding or for
shelters. Parker first pointed
out that only 20 to Is per cent
Of our waterfowl is produced in
the 48 States. The remainder
comes from Canada and Alaska.
OF the 264 refugees operated
by Fish and Wildlife, ITO are
in what is called the production
zone, the northern wetlands on
which the ducks breed. OF these,
he said, Is are major producers.
In 1858, they produced 282, 900
ducks, 1880 geese and 1856, 900
coots.
The remainder Of the refugees
are set aside primarily as stop
overs for waterfowl travelling
south and as wintering grounds.

BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

Fontana Bowlarama has
postponed the formal opening
of its second floor from to-
morrow to the following Sat-
urday, it was announced today
by Proprietor Andy Fontana.
In the meantime, an all-star
duckpin show is being cooked
up for the christening.
Duckpin stars from New
England to North Carolina will
converge here tomorrow for
the goth annual Dixie Classic.
It will be rolled in three FIVE
game blocks, successfully at the
Wheaton Bowling Center,
Twinbrook Lanes and Bethesda
40" Lanes, with the starting
times 10 am, pm. and 6 pm.
Defending the title will be
Jimmy Dietsch of Baltimore,
and opposing him possibly will
be a record field. Entries are
being received at such a rate
that A. L. Ebersole, executive
secrtary Of the National Duck
pin Congress, said today there
was a chance the tournaments
all-time high of lis partici-
pants, set IL years ago, would
be topped.
Connecticut leads in early
entries with %, followed by
Baltimore with 16 and Greater
Washington, IA. In line from
this area are Johnny Mandes,
Charley Evans, Tony Santini,
"a two-time winner; Julie
Singer, Sonny Weldon, Frank
Micalizzi, Pat Crescent, Milo
Iacomini, Nick Rinaldi, Woody
Winslow, Frank Blanchard.
Danny Pessagno, Gerry Stair
and Norman Titus.

A big entry is expected, too,
for the annual ArmiStice Day
Handicap Sunday at the Hi
Skor. The tournament drew 81
entries last year with Ed Payne
of Frederick, Md, the winner
with a gross score Of TIC.
Four-f1fths handicaps are
based on a scratch of 1870. The
fee is Sc and the guaranteed
prizes $3.50, $50 and $50.
Ten bowlers in Hi-Skor
leagues have won free entries.

River basin expenditures
went toward forestalling drain
age Of wetlands, Janzen's as
sistant explained.
Use Of duck stamp funds fol
shelters was defended by Par
ker with the statement that
intermediate areas are neces-
sary to give the birds a place
to recuperate on their trips
south. They do not necessarily
curtail duck hunting in the
immediate vicinity but often
improve it by attracting birds
to the area. he added.
Some Refugees Allow Hunting
Gas q matter Of fact" he said,
I'VE have opened and will con-
tinue to open parts Of our
refugees to duck hunting, al
though we can't open any new
areas this year because Of the
duck shortage"
Janzen pointed out that the
States themselves, through their
recommendations, had decided
where the duck stamp money
was to be spent with the At
lantic Flyway States putting
priority on wintering grounds.
1--WE are looking" he said.
"for every suitable canvasback
breeding area in the Dakotas
and will buy or lease more land.
The Mississippi Flyway has
recommended it as its No. /
priority and, Of course. the
Atlantic Flyway will benefit"
The duck season, which opens
at noon November 20, closes
January 8 in Maryland and
Virginia. Three ducks per day
is the limit of which only one
can be q canvasback, redhead
or rudy duck.
Although Maryland opens its
goose season 10 days earlier,
Virginia elected to have it con-
current with the duck season.
Two q day Is the limit.

Wildlife is Audubon domi-
mated" and more interested in
protecting the birds than pro-
viding more game for the
hunters. we consulted two off,
Gals. They were Daniel H.
Janzen. director of Sport
Fisheries and Wildlife, and an
assistant, Lansing Parker.
Laughs or Charge
Janzen laughed of the charge
that his bureau is Audubon
dominated. I'VE get Just as
many complaints from the Au-
dubon Society as we do from
the hunters" he said.
To the first question, Janzen
replied: From all reports in
our aerial surveys, the diving
duck shortage is real. Canvas
backs need open water to breed.
They build their nests in the
cattails surrounding lakes and
ponds. Drought in Minnesota,
the Dakotas and the southern
prairies Of Canada severely cur
tailed their nesting.
The surveys, on which hunt
ing regulations are based, were
completed by August and jan
zen was reminded of a Ducks
