GAIL D"
Chesapeake Beach. Md.

Wednesday, Capt. Bert Lamb
returned to the Winter GOOses
and nailed 70 more fish while
most of the other boats sat idle
in the harbor. Thursday most
boats were operating again and
though we had a light rain to
contend with, we all hit the fish
once more.
These fish have been hitting
best on Bert's Pumpkinhead

green skirt. We have been ex-
perimenting painting the heads
of our white bucktails with blue
paint and this has been hot as a
three dollar pistol. More about
this later.
The perch are still hitting in
Eastern Bay on bloodworms
and should continue to do SO
for quite a spell. l would like
to end this weeks column by
wishing you all a very happy
holiday and may the Christ
Child Of Christmas bless you all
this coming year.
