was steering the boat. A pompano
jumped into the boat and hit him on
the hand, leaving a blue mark the
size of an egg.
C. D. Taylor was fishing off Bap-
tist Encampment pier when he
hung a big red. He just about had
it when it broke his 35 pound +ost
line. Those who were around him
were almost as disappointed as he
was, and they claimed it must have
weighed about 20 pounds.
Leon and Mr3. Aria, had motor
trouble this week-end, so had to
stop their fishing early. However,
they got about 50 pounds of fish
on Saturday and Sunday. Mrs.
Aria got a 1% pound red and a
nice five pound one. The rest of the
catch was small specs, drum and
sheephead. •
A. T. Hanna had fast and furious
fishing on Saturday. He bought
bait at 5 p.m., then went to Cashes
creek to fish. He came to G.P. at
6:30 and cleaned 29 trout. Sunday
he got 55 early in the morning.

fished “out in the Bay” and landed
113 nice trout. Nice fishing fel-
lows.

Tom, tried Cashes Creek, and Bet-
ty says they got 33 nice trout. Bet-
ty is quite a fishing gal, as she

time comes.

trout and Light got a nice three
pound drum.
