TROUT FISHING BEGINS

Sea trout fishermen should be
preparing their equipment in
readiness for the most popular
of our bay fishes. Trout or
large size-three to five pounds
have already been reported in
several o m m Ell C i al catches.
This past week quite a few have
been caught in small gill nets
located off Benefits Pier, near
Big Stone Beach. Reports have
encouraged several of the haul
seiners to go into action with
their large nets. Anyone who
would like to watch this activ-
ity can do so in the vicinity of
South Bowers Beach or Slaugh-
tiers Beach where haul seiners
will be operating regularly with
the arrival of the large schools
of trout.
This past week word has been
received from the commercial
trawlers at Lewes that some
species of fish, especially floun-
der, previously taken in the
warmer waters of the gulf
stream, are now very scarce in
that area. This is a good indi-
cation that the large schools of
fish are working their way in
shore and will soon be available
for the hook and line fishermen.
Good catches of porgies have
been reported by trawlers oper-
ating out of Ocean City, Mary
land; these fish should soon be
evident in Delaware waters. The
interviews of sport fishermen by
employees of the Game and Fish
Commission tend to verify these

KNOW YOUR BAIT

Bait is an important factor in
marine fishing and often means
the difference between catching
IA lot of fish or none. Many
bats have been used to catch
fish in Delaware's salt water
but the most successful, over
the long run, are squid, min
nows, shrimp and bloodworms.
In the Indian River area, squid
and live bait fish attract the
founder. Shrimp and blood
worms are very successful in
catching rock fish. These bats
are obtainable at many of the
fishing sites along the coast.
Bullheads can be caught by
hand seines or in minnow traps
in any of the tidal streams or
in the shallow areas of the bays.
In other areas such as the
Delaware Bay, sequid and mus
sells are the most common bats
to lure bottom feeding fish. The
unknown to many fish
ermen, is probably one of the
most effective bats for trout,
croaker and founder. The mus
sci, found along the banks of
the marshes and tidal streams
must be steamed before being
used for bait. This steaming
process opens the shells, tough
ems the meat, and helps keep it
on the hook. Squid, the most
common bait used by Delaware
fishermen, is considered by
many to be the best all-around
lure for large variety of fish.
1t is obtained usually by means
of trawI nets However, squid
are found and taken near the
surface OF the water when a
bright lantern or search light is
used as an attraction.
Artificial bats are used main
ly for trout, rock, bluefish, al
bacore, bonito and mackerel.
Later in the season such arti-
ficial bats as feathers, silver
spoons and lead squids will be
used to attract these striking
game fish.

ing. Camouflaged cap, gloves
and bow cover complete the
ensemble.
Thus attired, . bowman can
pick himself a vantage point
and wait until the squirrels
come within the 10 to 40 yards
that is the fiu-hu's maximum
killing range. .'
One of the most enthusiastic
bow hunters Of our acquaint-
ance is Norman Longerbeam Of
Clifton, Va. A superintendent
for Crestwood Construction Co..
he owns a 16-acre tract Of
woodland along picturesque Bull
Run and built his own home
and with it q full-scale, 28-
target field archery course.
Norman also makes his own
wooden arrows. a novelty
among archerS today. since
most Of them have switched
to aluminium and fiberglas.
Among his arrows are "bluntS"
with which he hunts squirrels
and rabbits and fish points for
taking carp in Bull Run in
the spring.
Try Squirrel Hunting
Recently we went with,
ILongerbeam on an experimental
hunt through his oak groves
during Fairfax County's special
season. He carried a 55-pound
hunting bow and a supply of
flu-flus while we toted a 40
FOUNDER and similar arrows.
Bagging rabbits. he con1ded,
was easy compared to squirrels
and it didn't take long to find
that out. Going down a hillside,
we spotted a gray feeding under
a tree about 40 feet away.
Norman loosed one arrow that
seemed close enough to rufle
the squirrels fur but it was a
miss and the little animal was
gone in q twinkling.
That was to be our experience
the whole afternoon, although
both Of US took cover on one
bank of a ravlne that over
looked q fine feeding ground
and had several shots at
squirrels that would have been
easy marks for a firearm.
We wanted practice, rather
than the squirrels, anyway, so
on the way back we took out
our Illustration on the field
archery targets. The think" of
a swift arrow anywhere within
the white space is satisfying
enough to any bowman.
Maryland's squirrel season
extends through Monday while
nearby Virginia's reopens
November 81 and continues
through January 81.
