Soon we were catching pam
sized fish two at q time. The
fish were Just as hungry as we
all predicted-the only thing
was that these were not the
type we had come for. We
wanted tackle busters.
But we struck with the school
for a little while-"skunk In
surance," Oursler called it.
Throughout the day there
were schools Of the same sort
Of fish available and we could
have loaded the boat with them
had we wanted to, but al
though all the fish we hooked
were legal size we soon were
releasing as many as we kept.
Finally Oursler thought Il
was time to get after the bis
boys and we headed up the
Bay, finally settling for q fins
at the wreck Of q barge a few
miles south of Long Beach
I'VE had heard on the radio
that one boat had picked III
two good fish there earlier II
the morning. But by the TIM
we reached the scene the placi
had been picked clean. or tn
big boys had stopped biting.
Back to Punch Island
We tried around q few othel
places with no better luck and
then as the shadows length
ened we headed back for the
favored ledge off Punch. Is
land. We were certain that
just after dark we would have
a repeat performance Of the
previous Thursday--only this
time we would land the fish.
But something went wrong
with our, calculations. We
fished until the full moon was
high In the sky but nary a big
fish did we get. I had one
good strike but the fish merely
shook my rubber eel back and
forth like a dog with q bone
and then spat it out. Probably

who hasn't seen the day when

Oursler had a good one on
for a few moments and he too
broke off.

line felt as If it had snagged
something on the bottom. But
when he gave q yank in an
effort to free 1t, the something
on the bottom irresistably
moved off and the fight was on,
Skipper Hooks Fish
In the midst of 1t Skipper
Buzzy also tied into q terrific
fish.
After a time Doc managed to
get his fish alongside the boat.
AS he put It:
II saw at least 8 feet Of fish
down there and I haven't seen
the rest Of him yet"
The skipper got set to gait
the huge rock while Doc held
the leader. But unfortunately
the fish still was quite green"
and when he saw the gaff he
took off for the depths. Event.
ually the line parted and that
was that.
Unfortunately, Oursler's fish
had been unattended during the
time the skipper was trying to
help land Docs big one, and
when Oursler returned to his
work this one also pulled loose
1t was exasperating to the par
Elephants but as an indicator Of
what was out there in tn c
waters off Punch Island where
we were heading, the tale had
us all expecting the most.
Had Hot Lure
We were loaded with surgical
cells, now the hottest lure
around. and the one used to
hook the two big ones the pre-
vious Thursday and no fishing
party could have been more
confident.
We miscalculated a little bit
on what the end of Daylight
Saving Time was going to
mean in terms of daybreak, and
we reached the Solomons pier
at 6 am. As it turned out this
was just about an hour too
late for the best of the morning
fishing.
It was good daylight when we
arrived off of Punch Island and
found that ledge that runs al
most the length Of the island
and some miles down the Bay.
That's where the big fish usu-
ally are found. Oursler had
wanted us to be on the scene
before first light.
There were fish there, all
right, and We could have our

tion-the first time q rookie
has won so distinguished an
award.
Usually It goes to somebody
Ike Charley Bassler Of Indian
Spring, Clarence Doser Of the
Washingtonian, Walter Ro-
mans of Baltimore Country
Club or Glare Emery Of Wash
ington Golf & Country Club.
But a couple of years ago
the Middle Atlantic took q clue
from the point-happy National
PGA and set up q formula for
the associations most impor-
tant playing title.
80 -
As the Howard County Open
began at All View last Monday,
Graham was leading with 200
points, Doser was second with
1876. Dick Sleichter third with
100 and Bassler was fourth
with 1856.
And since only Sleichter was
playing in the tournament
the season finale-and since
first place was worth 80 points.
Graham was home free.
This is the second consecu-
tive season that a first-year
competitor has threatened to
become the player Of the year,
but the first time the threat
has been made good. Ronnie
Howell. then an assistant pro
at Army Navy. was off to a
fast start last season. but
eventually Bassler overhauled
him, and the next thing any
body knew, Howell was trying
the tour.
This may be the next thing
anybody knows of Graham,
who hangs his hat in the Fort
Meade pro shop. right under the
peg reserved for Carl Rasnic
the head pro.
II there Is anybody not sur
prised that Graham, q 25-year-
old Tennesssan, turned out Il
be the best player IN the Sec
ton this season 1t Is RAsnic
the man who hired him and
the man who would like to see
him get q shot at the big
money on the regular PGA
tour.
Rasnic hired Graham in
March of 1862 after hearing
some fantastic stories about
how well he plays.
THE first time I heard Of
him." Rasnic unused, was in
the Middle Atlantic Inter-
Service Athletic Conference
tournament in 1861. Don

win float. Manufacturers of
aluminium and fiberglass out
board powered craft know that
the material used for their
hulPs construction has negative
buoyancy.
Most metal and glass small
craft builders provide sufficient
artificial flotation with air
compartments, plastic foam,
wood or a combination Of two
or all three Of these to
offset negative buoyancy. Yet
many wood boat builders pro-
vide no added flotation de-
spite the fact that, with all
gear Installed, the heavier
than-water components of the
boat overblance the inherent
flotation of the construction
material.
Simple mathematical compu-
tations may be made to deter
mine whether a boat Of any
material with its engine, re-
lated equipment and gear load
will float. The Cupboard In
dustry Association has pub
hshed such q hoatation for
mula included along with other
interesting data in a free bro
chure titled Boating Insights"
which may be obtained by
writing to Boating Services and

Most cupboard boat manu-
facturers now give serious con-
sideration to boat flotation.

commended by the OBc."

ing buying 1t would seem rea-
sonable that you should in

With q copy Of the OLA boat

figure out for yourself whether
flotation provided is ample.
/ consider it q lame excuse
that some larger boat builders
continue to pass off this prob
lem of providing positive buoy
ancy with the statement that
due to space limitations 1t isn't
practical to provide large boats
with substantial cruising ac-
commod stations and still incor-
porate enough artificial flota-
tation so they will float.
