FISHING—
(Continued From Page 1)
when it leaps several feet into the
air to get a view of the surround-
ing landscape.
The skin of the starfish is cov-
ered with delicate skin gills through
which it absorbs oxygen from the
water. To protect them, short
heavy spines project the upper
surface, as well as tiny claws or
pinchers.

Via the Fish-Line:—This bit of
news may be the result of some
backlashing or tangled lines, so no
names will be mentioned, though
we'll call the two prominent local
business men involved in this fish-
ing venture, just Tom and Jay.
Loaded with optimism, dead bait
and the best of fishing tackle, the
two fellows went to a private fish-
ing spot on Carancahua River.
There was a pier out to the water,
and since neither one cared to
wade, they fished from this pier.
Time went by, perhaps a nibble
or two but no fish, nothing. Just
as they were about to call it a day,
Tom got a strike that bent his pole,
then began the lashing around iu
the water of this terrifically big
fish—it couldn't be anything but
a bull red! Must weigh at least 20
pounds!
By this time, Jay roused from

the shock of seeing Tom playing
his fish, and like a football fan on
the side lines, Jay began to root
for Tom, give him advice, which
went something like this: "Don't
give it so much line. Better take
it easy boy, you'll lose it. Man,
that thing must be at least 50
pounds, so go easy. Here let me
give you a hand," and that is just
what Jay tried to do. He began
walking down the pier toward
Tom, when the sound of crashing
boards was heard. Tom turned to
see what was wrong, and saw his
buddy had broken through a pier
board and was slightly on ttu: we>
lide. Naturally Tom lost control
of the big bull red and it got away,
but he did bring some thing home
from that fishing venture —his
wet, but very good natured friend.
Clarence and Eva Bies and son
Alan, and Wallie Oates had a
dandy catch of trout from Caran-
cahua Bay on Saturday. They came
in to the Yacht Basin just before
the norther hit, so considering
their 25 speckled trout, one to
three pounds, with more of latter
weight, and two three pound reds,
they called it a perfect day. Wal-
lie caught six drum from 10 to 12
pounds but did not keep them.
Charlie Maynard went 'fishing
somewhere in the vicinity of the
Peninsula Friday. He came in with
a string of red fish "yeah-long"
according to my informant. And
"yeah-long" was about a 50 inch
stringer would be. How about it
Chai'lie? Anyway, even if only
half that long, it mus^ have been
a dandy catch, and it's nice to hear
such reports.
