ll|L6«# I d like to tell a different kind of story this weekend then I II get around to reporting on the local cat rhes It has to do with what we think arc great catches, arid what visitors frorii other areas consider great catches here on our Cape of

Nature

The story starts on Wednesday night when Hill and Beth Mengel stopped by fny house with their friends Bob and ‘.'Sandy" from Alabama, They were visiting here for a few ' d»ys. and I had the next evening free so I invited them to go fishing with me on the Janie'T Vll in the

ocean

. t-'ARI.Y THURSDAY evening we left the dock at Rose/nan's and headed towards McCries Shoal where I hoped to find some of those big weakfish for them About half way out I saw the Royal Flush and another boat working in a big patch of birds, so I headed there for the action The birds were working over medium sired bluet* in the 2 to 3 lb. range, and each time we hooked one I stopped the boat, and they played their fish in light tackle we'd brought along for bucktailing We wound up with 14 of those-scrap-pers. and all four had the time of their life RACK HOME' in Alabama they fish fresh water*, and this was an en tirely new experience for them What f'm driving at is this: Everything relative , and to these folks, going three, miles offshore in the ocean, and catching

14 nice sired scrapping fish was an unforgettable'experience. The Ro^ai Flush' incidentally had a terri/lc catch that same day on •these aVranpin# blues t We wound ujTbacfc at the dock at dark after I had taken them on a guided scenic tour through Cold Spring Harbor where they saw the schooner A merican tied up and being used as a restaurant, and % further on they got a look at the South Jersey Fishing center with all the fine array of Canyon boats, and new head boats — and I'd like to hear what they tell their friends in Alabama about their visit to Cape May County. I M GOING to repeat myself, and say 1 believe everything is relative, and all too often we overlook the wonderful things we offer our visitors here on the Jersey Cape. Now, enough of that philosophy, and back to.the fishing scene. I got a chance to get out with Palmer Way on the. Ginger Saturday, and he, and Charlie Sansone and I really had some good fishing on jumbo blues inside the Southern Byoy We left the dock at-7, and were back in at 12:30 with eight jumbos in the 8 to 12 lb range We could have stayed and caught morCi but there’s not many of my friends want those big blues, (apt. Al Nace and (apt. Jack McGregor teamed up on the jHurktebuck II. and got 60 of those jumbos for their party between FA buoy and the Bank buoy.

-ANT THAT THE CHEAT AMERICAN PASTIME?

ON THE WAY ih (apt. Tom Roberts on the My Gal called on the CB and said he'd had 32 big weakfish in the Mary Lou slough off Cape May for his party Friday; '‘and that Tom Jorgensen, who won Joe Kodia's drum contest*, was still catching drum in the bdy. He'd caught four drum on Friday, and had gotten two during the week. I know all of us dram fishermen quit too soon on

THU^WEAKIE. at 10-4, took the prize aboard (he Rainbow last week, tom Young of Mays landing took her at McCries. those humpbacks. Mkybe Capt. Tom find I will get a chance to try them again

this week.

Capt. Charlie Selby sent me another weekly report on the catches from the Rainbow. He had another banner week in the musselbeds bucktailing. Capt. Charlie says that spinning gear is a must if you’re doing after those 'tide runners they way they fish for them Ralph Mogavero, of the Villas

was telling me that he had his two sons, Ralph Jr. and Marcel out on Capt. F'rank Spiegel's Miss Chris,, 1 and they found a school of w?akies on top near McCries Schoal,- and that he , and the boys got 11 of those . big weakies. The night chumming boats are starting to produce too, and it won’t be long before our canyon fishermen start heading out to the deep hole after bill fish.

••t

LAST MINUTE News: Seems as tho the deep hole's already producing, as one white marlin Sind about a half-doien yellowfin tuna were qjlught this weekend on boa^out of the S.J. Fishing cenfer. On Saturday, Craig Jack aboard the Our Pal hooked into the marlin, which weighed in at Upwards of 65 lbs. Two different catches, with three in each catch, of the. 50-lbs. tuna were brought in on Sunday. TWO BIG tournaments are coming up back in July. First, there’s the South Jersey Fishing ^Center marlin contest, and the following week is the Cape May County Nfhrlin contest, both of them in July. Some flounder are starting to be caught too, so our fishing season is now in full swing. I’ll try to stay on top of the different catches and keep you informed as to. where the hot spots are. OUR EDITOR. John Andrus. wrote me a letter about the Fish’ arflBGame commission trying m get support from anglers on the Dinfell-Johrison user tax, and he would like to know how you anglers feel about it. I plan to have a copy of his letter in all the tackle shops for reader reaction on this new tax. I'm against it, but I'm not sure that everyone else fe^ls the same way please rite and tell me you thoughts. The story is on the front page of this issue of the Herald. IT’S THE SECOND week of no major league baseball, and the strike doesn't seem to be any nearer settlement. I come from a long line of baseball players, but I can't seem to identify with this new concept of our national pastime. We played for the love of the game, but it seems like today’s group use money as their biggest love. The Blacksox scandal was the worst thing that ever hit baseball before this strike. I’m afraid the commercial aspect is going to do to.the major leagues what it did to boxing — and that is to make it a second rate spectator sport. Moved Up AVALON — The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Education scheduled for July 1 will be held &t the Elementary School at 7 p.m. Tuesday. June 30, instead, it was announced by Hilda U. Klosterman, board secretary.
