FISHING—
(Continued From rage 1)
right out where Karl wants it to
go. Karl even dunks his reels in
Salt NvaYer to lubricate them.
(Picas read to the end before try-
ing this, however.) In time the
reels rebel against such treatment
end up on G. G. Hope's work table.
Geo. and Kathryn remarked that
during their visit here, they have
fished just everywhere, and have
eaten fish until it ran out of their
ears. Miss Nellie Luther told Ka-
thryn she hadn't had so many nice
fish dinners since they were here
last year.
Sel Buffalo, R. C. and K. C.
Countryman of Dallas, on Ted
Bates' boat—brought in 56 specks,
from Half Moon Friday A. M.
"Buff" remarked, "It was too hot
for comfort."
Brownie had M. K. Gerland and
party at Beacon 8, where after 60
specks were aboard, Brownie took
the fellows to Gulf, getting four
large mackerel.
Army Reef: Nona Decker land-
ed two pound spade or angelfish.
A spadefish seldom gets over one
pound in Texas waters. "It bit like
a flounder, fought like a red, then
went to the bottom and hung on
like a stingray. I bet there was a
school o£.-them there", said Nona.
J. C. McClure, Leslie Mitchell,
42 reds—largest 3% lbs. at Army
Reef. Record catch for McClure
since he has fished here.
Mrs. E. E. Cornett hung a
scorpion fish; before she could get
it off of the hook, it finned her on
the hand. The fish resembles a dog
fish, except for three horns over
the eyes. The sting is worse than
that of a catfish.
If you noticed floundering lan-
terns along Grassy Point Friday,
it could have been O. B. Price and
Leroy Erickson. They gigged 24
dandy ones.
J'. A. Partain forgot to mention
Saturday where he got one more
fish — seven — than Tom Friery's
six. As neither are superstitious
they didn't bother getting any
more.
Monday O. O. Mixon, J. A. Par-
tain and T. Friery got to Beacon
10 in Mixon's boat. J. A. was up
front to throw out anchor, had to
hang on as water was so rough.
In fact J. A. had "Mai de Mer" for
an hour or so. Mixon is positive J.
A. and Tom counted his fish with
theirs, when they claimed 27
trout. Anyway Mixon did get a
two pound pompano.
Jess and James Hebel, Alabama
Hill counting even up had six trout
each from East Bay Sunday a.m.
Anonymous; "Man, did I get the
fish today!"
Jack B.: "Where?"
A.: "Well's Point."
J. B.: "Were they keepers?"
A.: "Well—I kept them."
Garrett and Mollie Lee Hope
didn't miss a bet when picking
Coon Island Monday for their six,
two pound and one, five pound reds,
plus 25 pounds of good eating
shrimp.
