It’it been many a moon since l ve!*ard a filh rtory like I heard up at the Shore Vets in Seaville lost week, I had taken my labrador puppy "Yogi" up there to get him treated, and left my german shepherd puppy Sasha home because the two of them cause quite a bit ot conlu sion when they're in one place at the same time Ikr Nick Holland came in and said, "Boyd, you ve gotto hear this I've got a fellow In here that soys he s got a dog that spots bluefish before anyone on the boat sees them IN THE NEXT ROOM John Cavllle of Seaville had his dog "Puddy, " a 5-year old. good looking male dog 'Uia means I don't know what breed he wasl John M, d that ■Tuddy" could actually spot a school of blues before anyone knew they were there I asked him if he thought he smelled them, but he said, No he though he detected the movement in the water lir Nick confirmed that a dog has terrific peripheral vision. and this could be possible JOHN SAYS THAT Puddy (Jets excited when a bluefish 'ta pulled aboard, and that he has gotten bitten a couple of limes when he tried to grab the fish, and that now he has

He says Puddy has been going fishing with him for two or three seasons, and he has only gotten seasick once on a trip to the capyon I still think that his sense of smell might be involved, but it could be that his sight is tuned to seeing schools of fish. At any rate Puddy would be handy to have along on those days when you can't get a bite. ....

THIS HAS BEEN ANOTHER week of no great amount of fish for the hook and line angler. ••Porky” Carlson of Carlson’s Seafood said he packed out a large amount of whiting and ling from th«Bay which was caught by one of his better commercial mats, and that he’d hrfd a good load of mackerel from up North, and far out. There were also mackerel taken in a A « J s dock from down South and far out, which corresponds to the big batch that was packed out at Cold Spring Docks from down South. Now, when I say North and South I’m leaning a little on a general location, because that’s what I’m getting from m/ informants. What I think it means is is that these "Bostons” are ou\ about 15 miles from the Northeast end when they say North, and down near the " JacksjJpt” when they say South, so that puts these fish or^ the 20 fathom curve. ' / . And it means fliat with a few more warm days we II have mackerel in reach of the party boats, and the bigger pleasure boats. I’M 'DOING TO lirao on down towards Hatteras with the Cape May Count^Hatteras Anglers to try to catch a red drum on the Outer Banks; and also to try to get tuned up to go fishing up here. You get too far away from fishing in the winter in Cape May County, and it takes a good fishing trip to get your priorities lined up right. While I’m gone, the Herald is going to run a repeat on my March 11 column on the new Coast Guard regulations, because we've had so many requests for these new rules. I understand you can buy all these distress signals in a kit, so that you have the whole, necessary package — and I’ll try to find out where you can purchase this item, because it won’t be long now till weil be needing them oh our boats. Hopefully we won't have to use them, but the Coast Guard says we have to have them aboard this year when we go fishing.

TRENTON - The 1981 Trout season opens Saturday, and the prospects for another good year of fishing are bright despite the prolonged drought that the entire northeast is experiencing. Stocking began March 25 with the release of more than 31,000 trout in New Jersey’s streams, lakes and ponds, and the preseason stocking will continue until opening day with a total of more than 150,000 rainbow, brook, and brown trout being released. MORE THAN 200 lakes, streams and ponds throughout the state's 21 counties will be stocked prior to and also after the opening of the season. As in past years, all of the fish will be of good size with the average running about nine

inches.

Dennisville Lake, in Dennisville, has been stocked with rainbow trout to await the files or worms of Cape May County anglers. DESPITE SOME adverse weather conditions, the fish are leaving the hatchery in excellent condition, with many of them having put on additional growth because of an early ice melt. A. Bruce Pyle, chief of the Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries of the New Jersey Division of Fish,

Game and Wildlife, said the stocking is proceeding according to plan and the fish being placed in the waters are in as fine shape

as ever.

"We foresee no problems with the stocking program," Pyle said, "but we will be monitoring water levels and general conditions throughout the stocking period and the fishing season. "If conditions change and there are modifications in our stocking plan, those revisions will be sent out prior to opening day.” THERE WILL BE one significant change in the stocking plan with a reduced number of fish being placed in the major streams during the preseason stocking. Under the new plan, 80 percent of the normal allotment of fish in the major streams will be stocked during the pre-season period. The remaining 20 per cent will be added to' those streams during the so-called "grace week" or the first week of fishing in order to provide trout fisherman with a plentiful supply of fish waiting to be caught. The normal stocking of the streams will then continue on a weekly basis as in the past.
