there are said to be plenty Of

Larger blues are in midday
along with some rockfish
weighing UP to 31a pounds.
They are breaking much Of the

No. 81 buoy for perch and
some spot.
Very large rock are still be-
ing caught on the Jumps off

water fishing with peeler crabs
and is best at flood tide.
Over on the ocean, fishing
continues very good for small
sea trout on the bars outside
the inlet at Wachapreague, Va.
There also are large numbers
of snapper blues.
Some larger trout can be
caught inside the inlet. They
weigh up to perhaps 3 pounds
but one 41a-pounder was
caught this week. Founder
fishing continues poor.

Chesapeake Bay. In fact. they
seem to be in greater numbers
than before and from nearly
every port comes the same
word: Plenty Of fish"
Bluefish either feed voraci-
ously or not at all. Good
catches were reported until the
temperatures went down. Then,
over the week end, they seemed
to quit biting and many felt
this fishing was over.
Rockfish continue to be mixed
with them, too. and in some
cases, trout. Best find Of the
week, though, was q large con-
centration Of trout near No. IA
buoy at the edge Of the ship
channel off Point Lookout.
Catches Of 200 to $50 running
from 10 to 10 inches long are
reported.
Marlin Fishing Improves
In the ocean. marlin fishing
has picked up. The fish are
closer inshore and apparently
the Ocean City Marlin Clubs
annual tournament has been q
success.
The tournament opened with
q catch Of 26 the first day by
the fleet. A high of II was
scored the next day and
catches ranged from II to IA
a day through the week. In
addition, yellowfin tuna, un-
common at this time Of year,
wahoo and numerous dolphin
have been caught.
Starting with the Potomac
River, here's q quick roundup
Of fishing prospects for this
week end:
Schools of very small blues
have been ranging upriver but
best fishing probably is for rock
around Cobb bar or Blakiston
Island and with peelers off
Raggedy Point for spot and
perch. Some rock have been
biting at Tall Timbers or off
st. Georges Island late in the
day on peelers.
Trout Biting Heavily
Small rock also are biting
over the grass beds Of Smiths
Greek toward dark but best
fishing is for blues in the tri-
angle between Smiths Point
and Point Lookout. These blues
range UP the Bay to Point No
Point.
Capt. Andy Scheible with the
head boat, Bay King, found the
trout Saturday and heavy
catches have been made every
day since.
Off Solomons. Capt. Rhode
Langley reported catching 269
blues weighing up to Ia
pounds one day this week. The
fish are over the Chinese Mud
from Cove Point to Cedar
Point and below as far as the
targets. Some rockfish up to 6
pounds have been caught with
them along with trout weigh
ing UP to 21z pounds.
Schools on Western Shore
Chesapeake Beach boats are
getting so to 70 blues q day in
schools that have been break
ing along the western shore.
They weigh up to 21a pounds

Stone Rock, Brannock's Bay

rock go to 4 pounds and the
