HUNTING

FISHING

Greenbelt Lake in Prince
Georges County is one of sew
eral in which personnel of the
Maryland Game and Inland
Fish Commission have been
using electric shocking equip
ment to study the fish.
Although the bodies of water
we're found to be well popu-
lated with game and food fish,
a sour note was the abundance
of carp.
AS proof that Greenbelt Lake
contains bass, James w. Welt
fiShed it recently and caught
three largemouths from 10 to
IA inches long. EStel Riffey of
Riverdale did better, getting
six in the same size range.
= y y
In addition to carp, Green
belt Lake has been heavily
populated with swapping tur-
ties, SO c. Lee Byrd of the
Greenbelt Police Department
decided to do something about
it. He set out hooks and lines
bated with fresh beef at night
and the first week caught seven
turtles weighing from five to
35 pounds each.
All this comes from Charles
Milton, former regional fish
culturiSt for the commission
who has just been promoted
by Ernest A. Vaughn, commits
sion director, to chief game
warden. Milton has been with
the commission since 1916.
Best catch reported from the
Eastern Shore lately is a g.
inch, 4la-pound chain pickere
taken in LincheSter Lake.
Bow and arrow fishermen are
said to be having great sport
with carp in the Conowingt
Reservoir at old Conowingo.

BITING OVER GRASS BEDS
Rock Offer Sport in St. Morys
BY CHARLES COVELL
Outdoor Editor

Though Esther's So mile
winds pounded the beaches and
muddied the inletS along the
nearby seacoast, it had little
apparent effect on Chesapeake
Bay fishing. In fact, in at least
one place it's better than be-
fore the storm.
Take the mouth Of the Po-
tomac from Piney Point to
Point Lookout. The bluefish
that were swarming there are
still Swarming and you also can
catch rock up to 3l2 pounds
casting chunks of peeler crab
on the grass beds.
In addition, across the river
near Raggedy Point there are
trout from IA to 18 inches long.
blues up to 2 pounds and rock
fish up to 4 to be caught still
fishing at night.
Finds Acres Of Bluefish
Capt. Louis Bean, who has a
fishing center on Smiths
Creek, atteSts to the number
of bluefish. He took Pete Allen
and several others from Wash
ington trolling early Saturday.
II found the fish about
three miles above Smiths
Point near the Virginia shore"
he said. There were acres and
acres breaking in all directions.
We caught 10 in an hour. BY 9
o'clock they had gone down
again and some other boats
that came along didn't get
many"
Archie Meatyard, who oper-
ates a marina at Tall Timbers,
tells about the fishing near
Raggedy Point. He said the
trout, blues and rock all were
biting on bottom bats within
a short distance of the rock
pile near Raggedy Point Light.
Rock Caught on Peeler
Most fascinating fishing is
up the st. Marys River. There
you may anchor a boat in 5 to
Is. feet of water over a grass
bed, cast out peeler. crab on
spinning tackle and catch rock
fish.
Capt. Bud Kvech from
Smiths creek took Wyatt
Dawson of Arlington and a
couple Of friends up the st.
Marys the other day and they
came back with 38 rock. the
majority of which weighed up
to 31a pounds. Although a few
were caught trolling, most were
taken over the grass.
A good part of the pleasure
Of fishing the st. MaryS is the
beauty of the surroundings.
From st. Georges Island at its
mouth on up to st. MaryS
City, site of the original State
House, its banks are rolling and
wooded. Here and there are
summer cottages and, near the
entrance to st. Inigoes Creek, a
Navy air installation.
Fishable From Skiffs
The river is wide and from
25 to 80 feet deep in the main
channel but on each side are
shadows in which the rockfish
lurk.
If one watches the weather,
it is fishable from skiffS as we'll

Soft crabs, in particular, are a
tidbit.
Anchor over the grass in a
likely looking spot, rig up a
fresh water spinning rod with
Is or 8-pound test monofila-
ment line, attach a single 20
Snelled hook without a leader
and bait up. No Sinker is neceS-
sary.
The peeler you will have
bought from a tackle shop,
taking care to keep them
covered and cool. Peel off the
top shell, pinch off the claws
and feelers and quarter. If
you have trouble keeping the
bait on the hook, a small rub
ber band may help although
you'll catch more fish without
Evening star., 1961-09-26
Also Catch Eels

You'll also catch cells, big
ones, which are a Shiny nui-
sance, a few ugly toadfiSh and
perhaps one or two big white
perch but every once in awhile
a rock will take hold and you'll
have something worthwhile.
The bite is distinctive and
there's no mistaking it, a sud-
den tautening of the line and
a dash for the surface, totally
unlike the bites of the eel and
toadfiSh.
A rock on spinning tackle
has three times the fight of
one hooked trolling. Try it ana
you'll see.

Trouble Delays Orbiting of ChiniPanzee

CAPE CANAVERAI., Fla. R = Spacecraft trouble has delayed an attempt to orbit chimpanzee and virtually wiped out United States hopes of orbiting man this year.
 Project Mercury officials called off Tuesdays scheduled chimp launching after a test Sunday dis closed a gas leak in the space capsules in-flight control system.
 This necessitated removing the two-ton craft atop the Atlas booster rocket, which is on the launching pad. Inspection, repair and replacement will take at least week, perhaps as much as two weeks.
 Authoritative sources reported the srscecraft trouble was leak in the hydrogen peroxide gas sys- tenn which controls the position of the vehicle in flight. The gas is highly corrosive and could have damaged electrical or other sys- tems.
 Successful completion of the chimpanzee shot this week was al most must if the National Aero nautics and Space Administration was to have chance of rocketinf a human astronaut into orbit if le6l.
  A minimum of four weeks i required between Mercury-Atla launchings to qualify all systems Such schedule can be met onl,
 if all checkouts are perfect, some thing not yet achieved in prepa rations for Mercury firings.

 Announces Candidacy For Governorship In 1862

SOLDATNA R - Verne Mar tin, an Anchorage attorney, yes terday announced his candidacy for Governor of Alaska, on the Republican ticket.
 Martin made the announcement during a speech at Republican rally here in which he charged that Gov. Wm. Egan, the Demo- crafts incumbent, has used state highway construction as a political football.
 ''Egan has deliberately held up the road program so that the en- tire three-year program could be constructed during the one sea- son of l962," Martin said.
 "In 1862, the year (Egan) must seek reelection, there will be $100 million worth of road construc- ton throughout the state and Egan hopes that voters of this state, with their pocketbooks bulging, will forgive and forget"
 Martin also said recent events have indicated Egan was putting real pressure on the oil industry to either assume the full finan- cial responsibility for running the government of Alaska or get out of Alaska" !"
