Tells OF State Fishing

area in summer and early fall is
the offshore bottom fishing done
from what are called bottom boats
or head boats"
These boats depart daily from
Bowers, Mispiilion Light, Lewes
and the Inlet in the early morning
hours and are guided by expert
enced shippers to a predetermined
location, where they are then an
chored This anchorage is gener-
ally over or near sunken wrecks
which attract the small fish upon
which some of the larger fish feed.
For a vacationist limited by a
small budget, the bottom boats
offer sea fishing for about six dol
lars a head (from this they re-
ceive the nickname of head boats')
and generally stock virtually every
thing an angler will need for a
successful fishing trip including.
Of course, bait and tackle.
In addition to offering rental
service on rods and reels, many OF
the bottom boats have snack and
beverage facilities and some are
event equipped with tiny lunch
counters offering sandwiches. cof-
fee, soft drinks and even seasick
pills.
While most of the bottom boats
schedule early morning trips, it
is possible for late sleeping ang-
lers to also get in on the fun as
afternoon fishing trips are fire.
quently scheduled, leaving port
about one in the afternoon.
Bottom boat fishing will most
likely attain even greater pOpu-
larity when two artificial reefs,
now under construction, are plac-
ed in position. Composed largely
of concrete pipe, these reefs" will
be placed on the ocean bottom
near the Inlet in the near future
as part of an effort to develop ad-
ditional fish feeding grounds in the
area.
Many of those planning to fish
Delaware's inland bays and coastal
waters bring their own boats with
them, and these, according to the
Development Department, should
be reminded that all motor boats
! operating in Delaware waters must
meet various safety regulations
and be registered (fee is 5000.
Information concerning these re-
quirements and the registration
procedure may, until September
lis, be obtained at the Dewey Beach
Office of the Small Boat Safety Di-
vision of the Delaware Commits

tion may also be obtained at the
commission Office in the State
