BY WHEELER JOHNSON
outdoor Editor

If you can finally get a fish
ing rod and correctly baited
line into a mans hands, it's at
least 20-1 that you're going to
get a convert to old Ike Wal
tons way of thinking.
No one could have been a
stronger holdout against fish
ing than Lewis F. Atchison,
The Stars Boswell of the Red
skins. Tony, as he is affection
ately known to most Of us,
hated fishing. AS a matter of
fact. "detest" might be a better
word.
He had been fishing twice.
Once so long ago and under
such unimpressive circum-
stances that he has forgotten
the details, and the other under
such circumstances that he
probably never will forget a
moment of it. But that soaring
experience was such that it
hardened his resolution never
to go fishing again, and, If he
could help it, never to step
aboard a boat.
That trip resulted when some
idea man around here decided
the paper should have a big
big feature Gil marlin fishing
off Ocean City. Since Tony
never had caught a fish, natur-
ally he was the logical man to
write the story. He was dis
patched oceanward with Star
Cartoonist Glib Crockett, who
was to do the illustrations.
Seasickness Cures Offered
Briefly, Tony became seasick
about 5 seconds after the boat
passed the mouth of the inlet
at Ocean City. He remained
seasick until it was safely back
Evening star., 1963-05-03
LONG HoLDoUT ENDED
Anglers Are Made, Not Born ThatWay|

inside the inlet. A companion
aboard was drinking buttermilk
and chasing it with bourbon,
and during the height of Tony's
NAL de mer kept recommending
this treatment to Atchison.
Tony didn't try this "cure" but
the idea didn't help his general
condition.
The boat captain recon-
mended drinking sea water,
which he claimed would bring
everything up, and thus speed
recovery. Tony did try this and
only got sicker.
The expedition took a marlin,
but Tony was too knocked out
to see the fight between angler
and fish, SO no desire to fish
rubbed off on him. When he got
safety home he renewed his
resolution never to go fishing,
and for years he made 1t stick.
But Atchison has a sneaky
uncle. Earl Hester of Green's
boro. N. c. Hester owns a vaca-
ton cottage at Holden's Beach,
N. c.. down near the South
Carolina line and not too far
north of Myrtle Beach, s. C.
Beach Basking Out
lie invited Tony and his wife,
Virginia, to meet him there to
spend a few days. Tony ac-
cepted with no thought of any,
thing except spending a few
peaceful days on the beach.
But the wind was blowing
rather strongly and beach
basking wasn't too comfortable,
so the Atchisons' host suggested
that Tony get up early the next
morning and accompany him
to a fishing pier a short dis
tance down the beach.
Tony didn't care for the hour
set, 7 am, but finally got HIM
self out of bed and went along.
Evening star., 1963-05-03

Hester explained to the pier op.
orator that 1t wasn't necessary
to charge anything for Tony
since he was just going tc
watch = although his guest
might cast out a line just tC
see how 1t felt.
That was the sneaky part
When they were out on the
pier, Hester baited a line anc
thrust 1t in Atchison's hanc
before he had time to defend
himself.
He Got the Message
MY uncle had to bait it fol
me-" Tony relates. I'VE were
using shrimp but I wouldn't
have known how to put one or
the line. He explained that
would feel it If I got a bite
But I didn't. I kept feeling the
line bump and thought I wa:
getting a bite. I hauled ir
several times, but there was
nothing.
Finally I did get a bite and
this time / knew 1t. ! managed
to reel this thing in and there
was something they called q
whiting, about 10 inches long
My uncle had to take 1t off for
me. He was afraid I would get
the hook in my hand. I finally
caught three.
Maybe I wasn't the best
fisherman on that pier, but ]
sure was the best dressed"
Atchison said Naturally.
never planned on fishing and
brought along no clothes for
it. So there I was, dressed In
freshly pressed brown slacks
and a matching sports jacket.
I certainly got some sharp
looks from the rest of the pier
fisherman, most of whom had
on overalls or lewis"
He had hardly gotten on the
Evening star., 1963-05-03

pier when he had a fish In. But
Uncle Earl looked it over and
said:
He looks a little small. Wen
Just toss him back"
Tony was cut to the quick.
1T was the biggest one I
caught all day." he said.
Experience pays off. This
time Tony landed six nice whit
ing while his uncle got about
is. At least they had a bucket
full.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Atchison
had decided that she would
show Tony, who hates fish on
a dish as much as he used to
hate them in the water. how
nice one can be when it is fried
a short time after 1t is caught.
But on the way off the pier
the anglers ran across a wom-
an with four children who
wasn't having much luck.
I'VE don't want to take these
fish home, do we?" Hester
mo, we might as well give
'em away" Tony dutifully
answered. And the fish were
presented to the woman angler
and her brood.
Back at the cottage they
found a busy Mrs. Atchison
with skillet hot waiting to get
started on a late fish breakfast.
1t was a disappointment, but
not regarded as a tragedy be-
cause the anglers were certain
the morrow would bring more
fish, and by this time our neo-
phyte practically was painting
to get out to the pier. But here
he learned another fishing les
son. Whereas the first two days
had been fine fishing weather
with breezes from the southeast
and temperatures in the 90s,
the dawn broke with a cold
nor'wester sweeping over the
beach. That ended the fishing.
But Tony's had 1t now. He
might even get back on a boat
someday.

that titles be issued on all
boats but that the fisheries de-
partment has not been enforc-
ing the law.
Re-registering 6O,OOO
1T would cost no more for
us to title boat owners than
to register them," Phipps said.
The departments policy is to
register each boat using its
waters. Because of a change in
the law, the department Is cur
rently in the process of re-
registering the more than co.
600 boats 1t had on record as
of December 3l1
Phipps said by issuing titles
the State would be in a better
position to know when boats
are sold and would receive an
increase in revenues.
He said boat owners need
only to register every three
years and there is no record
