FISHING—
(Continued From Page 1)
formerly of Fredericksburk, Okla.,
and now living in Palacios. Abo to
Mr. and Mrs. E. G, Wood and son
Fred, formerly of Cleveland,
Mrs. Dotson, David, Mrs. Wood
and Fred tried fishing from GPBC
pier on Saturday, but small pan
fish were all that were getting on
their hooks, so they decided to try
another local pier. Hope they had
better luck from City or Pavilion
pier. Reports of flounder, trout and
drum have been coming from both
of these locations.

Mr. and Mrs. Ray Horn, of Bay
City, brought in It large speckled
trout from Coon Island on Friday
morning—all good sized ones. Sun-
day they had six large reds fishing
just off Grassy Point.
* * •
■Speaking of Coon Island, it is
-one of Mrs. G. G, (Mollie Lee)
Hope’s favorite fishing spots. Gar-
rett is contemplating building a
houseboat, with all modern con-
veniences, even a screened porch
wah an aid fashioned rocker, and
anchoring it off Coon Island. Then,
Mollie Lee can stay there and fish
for a week or two at a time, as
Garrett does not care as much for
fishing as she does. He’ll enjoy the
rocker and let the waves do the
rocking while he reads and rests.
* * *
Rev. N. N. Moreland And Sam
Hebert go fishing every Monday
morning, often more during the
week, and they fish all over, getting
trout or reds, almost every spot
they try. Rev. T. E, Spiller, of
Houston, aiso fishes with them,
when he visits in Palacios.
* * •
Mike Allesandro fishes regularly
every day he possibly can, and he
says he didn’t realize he was catch-
ing many fish, as he got so few at
any one time. But, he cleaned them
and put them in the deep freeze,
and was quite pleased to find there
were enough fish for a fish fry,
when 15 members of the family
got together, and there was plenty
for everyone.

Henry McConnell saw a white
'tailed hawk on September 22, and
says it is a sign that winter is
‘-coming fast around the corner. It
js the earliest Henry had ever seen
■one. Well, Saturday’s cold norther,
seems to verify this. Though, there
are many many good warm days
.ahead, before winter really sets in.
* * *
Pat and Lillian Patton of San
Antonio hit the jackpot Saturday,
fishing at the end of Half Moon
Reef, resulted with a catch of 19
speckled trout none under three
rounds. It was the best catch
-they had ever had in their many
years of fishing here. They also
had numerous gafftopsails, and
Pat hung a tarpon but lost it as he
was not rigged for it.
* * *
Pat and Lillian Richman fished
right in their own back yard,
after the heavy rain Raturday -and
got nine reds, one going abcut five
pounds, the others were good sized
also. Pat said there was two and
one half inches of rain at their
ranch on the Tres-Palacios river,
^That’s a cigar.)
* * *
Aubrey Baker and his son, Au-
drey Jr. of New Gulf were guests
<rf Mr and Mrs. Lyons McCall, who
Have a summer home on Bayshore
Drive. Sunday they fished off Oys-
ter Lake Pass, where they hit the
'61 Chevrolet Trucks
Have Proven Features
Refinements in the highly suc-
cessful chassis design introdu
a year ago, further expansion
models, and styling • ideritifica1
changes mark the Chevrolet tr
line for 1961.
“The wide “aiOceplartce "of
1960 chassis redesign, featuring in-
dependent front suspension with
torsion bar springing and signifi-
cant innovations in rear suspen
sions, confirms our conviction tha
truck owners approve extensive de
sign changes which translate into
economic benefits for them,” James
E. Conlan, assistant general sales
manager for Chevrolet trucks, said.
“This highly successful design
is continued in our 1961 trucks, with
volutionary refinements through-
out the line to enhance the ride,
handling, durability, comfort, and
hauling efficiency,” he added.

jackpot, for they had 12 big reds,
going from three to eight pounds,
lots of small ones and between the
men they lost seven big ones.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tanecka of
El Campo, fished at the piling at
the Army Camp coming in with 20
on Saturday and 25 on Sunday—all
trout going around one and a half
to three pounds

Anyone desiring a free Fish-
guide Map, may write the Gulf
Fishguide Bureau, 714 Main St.,
Houston, stating the area or loca-
tion for which they want a map,
and the time they wish to fish the
particular location and full dotarls
will be sent. Special cards for this
information may be obtained at
Grassy Point Bait Camp, located
on Bayshore Drive, Palacios.
Wanted—A fisherman “who be-
longs to a well seasoned pipe”,
initialed and lost in salt water on
Friday; found; lost again along
the water front, and not found by
its owner. Later in the day my
grandson found the pipe, so the
owner may have his “friendly fish-
ing buddy” by calling at Grassy
Point Bait Camp. No doubt the pipe
will be as pleased to be back at
home port, as its owner will be
to have it.

A hunter survey conducted by
the Dept, of Fish and Game of
California, indicates doves were the
leading game species taken in
Calif, during 1959. Hunters bagged
3,577,900 doves, a 5.3% increase
over 1958. Water fowl dropped
4,610 in 1958 to 1,912,300 in
’59. Quail took 3rd place, on 183,-
000 birds, a decline of 23.5%. Two
and Ys million hunter days of
activity were recorded to compile
this record. . . Mourning dove are
the only game bird found in every
state in the Union.

Tests at the Patuxent Wildlife
Research Center operated by the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service
show duck nesting boxes can be
protected from predators by mount-
ing them on one or two galvanized-
steel channel fence posts to which
a stiff sheet-metal panel has been
bolted on the concave side. Un-
perforated posts are preferable
but more difficult to obtain. If
punched posts are used, hooks
should be hammered flat to elim-
inate claw-holds for climbing pred-
ators. The protective panel should
be eight inches wide and three feet
long, preferably constructed of 16-
gauge aluminum.

Sitting still and wishing, makes
no person great. The good Lord sent
the fishing, but you must buy or
dig the bait.

The old skipper says he remem-
bers when the little voice inside of
one was a conscience instead of a
pocket radio.

A full-sized replica of the Alamo
and parts of old San Antonio, as
they looked in 1836, has been built
on a ranch near Brackettville. This
Kinney County town is located in
southwest Texas, near the Mexi-
can border.
Built for the biggest motion pic-
ture Hollywood has ever made,
John Wayne’s production, “The
Alamo”, this century-old setting
was constructed from plans un-
covered in Spain. The finest adobe
craftsmen were imported. No false
fronts or imitation work was per-
formed. Walls are as much as three
feet thick.
The setting is now open to the
public so that touris s may see the
lifelike replica of this historic
event. Old Fort Clark has been
converted to a guest ranch to
house the flowing tide of visitors.

A post office may seem like an
ordinary building to most anyone,
and certainly not a tourist attrac-
tion. But there is one post office
in Texas that really is a sight to
behold.
It is referred to as “The Federal
Building” and is east of Huntsville I
at Point Blank, Texas, in East
Texas’ San Jacinto County.
Don’t expect to be awed by its
beauty or immense size, but do be
prepared for a little chuckle. After
all, what do you expect from a
former chicken house?
Ad Fact; No. 14
According to preliminary esti-
mates, more than $3,500,000,000—or
31.7% of all advertising dollars in-
vested in 1959, went to newspapers.
This made newspapers again the
number one advertising medium.
