says. 1--WE baited nine black
marlin in two days.
Altogether, three black mar
lin and Is striped marlin were
caught. More fish would have
been taken but a sudden change
in the flow of the Equatorial
Current to the cold Humboldt
Current sent the fish scurry-
ing far to the north, out of
range Of the anglers"
1t is this clash Of currents,
Van Week explains. that makes
fishing off Cabo Blanco so
fabulous. It is similar to the
situation off Cape Hatteras,
where the Labrador Current
and Gulf Stream collide, at
tracing blue marlin.

HUNTING
FISHING

Because Of confusing data,
Maryland's paid fishing expert
ment near the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. plant at DECKER
son is going to extend at least
through April 20.
The project being conducted
by the Department of Research
and Education seeks to de-
termine what effects the warm
water being discharged from
the plant have on fishing.
For the last year, three Fred
erick carpenters, william E.
Harding and his sons. Casper
and Clyde, have been paid to
fish at designated spots both
above and below the point
where the warm water is dis
charged.
fiarold j. Elser, department
biologist, said he asked for the
e-.tension because data gathered
through the first three quar-
tiers of the project did not hold
up through the last quarter.
Early data in the study fl
nanced by a $1.400 grant from
the Sport Fishing Institute
showed that during the colder
months the greatest number of
fish were caught in the warm
water area and in the summer,
the opposite occurred. During
part of August, no fish at all
were caught in the warm water.
"If this pattern had con-
tinued for the entire year, there
could be no doubt about our
findings" Elser added. "But in
the last quarter, there was rel
atively no difference in the
catch from either area" He said
the study may be extended
again if necessary.

Anglers used to trolling with

to shift to 40-pound test. There
