Asbury Ave. following the ’\ing before he threw the parade lines off the South Wind to

go fishing' We eased out of Silver Lake, and Capt. Thurston anchored, by some pound stakes in the sound waiting to see if we could fish the back of the shoals - while we were there Joe MacGregor caught a 4 lb. flounder for a

first score.

And then about.ll o’clock ^Capt. Thurston made up his .'mind that tH,e tide had fallen enough* to make a move, so we headed for the big bar io-the middle of the shoals and anchored off k point on the Portsmouth beach — and there we found otir Pot of Gold that "Bucky". Halbruner had seen in the rainbow on

Monday.

OUR FIRST catches were sharks, and I caught a couple of "blue beauties,", and' then John Manganarao s line started humping oft, and about 20 minutes v later >loe MacGregor gaffed,* afid JohrV'landed a 22 lb red drum for His very first channel bass evdr < this was reaHy ironic, because Joe ’ had gaffed John’s very first black drum back in 1974 in

Del Bay). .

About 15 f minutes later Joe MacGregor hooked up, and got a short run, and his line parted, so after sdme choice words and rerigg\ng we were all back in the water and fishing again. Joe got another bite right away, and then I got one on; and while we were playing those drum, John hooked up too, so we had a triple header going. MY FISH got to the boat first, and Capt. Thurston gaffed him (26 lbs 4 oz) Then Joe was ready, and I gaffed his drum (exactly the same size), and finally . Joe gaffed John’s drun\(20 lbs) so we saved all three After the smokeVcleared away Joe got another drum started, and he got another line break (the only thing we could figure caused these breaks was that Joe • had fished Cape Point hard with that line, and it must have gotten chafed).^.We also estimate^ that one of those drum that broke off had to be over 50 pounds.— because whoever lost a

small fish? < .*•

About 30 minutes later I had a and felt something h^vy. I tugged

that drum Hfif

just how to fish that kind of

sea.”

Another Hattras trip is over, but the memories of this one will last a long

while.

Thurston gaffed him, and we found he had swallowed the hook which Accounted for his strange behavior t he went 24 lb^). After this fifth fish the sea started breaking over the Stem, and Cpt..Thurston said, "We better quit while we’re ahead," so we headed

home. .

Ever since I’ve gotten back from Hatteras, I’ve bee? • hearing a lot of stories concerning our Jersey Cape ' fishing. There’s supposed to have been some stripers 'taken off the Cold Spring jetty (I couldn't tie down the anglers or the sizes) but so far none have been taken down in the Rips. » There have been scattered reports of weakfish up in the Bay, but no concentration there either. I did run across one full fledged story on blue fish on Wednesday, however, when I heard Jack Osborn/jon the Rcd Beard calling the Bontb out on the Northeast $nd. It seems that in ’ the morning several bdatsTound a school of medium to. large sized blues in that vicihity, and they caught quite a

few early.

Jack and Capt. Don Murphy started trolling around Five Fathom Bank„and they caught onp five pounder, and lost ohe, and'by this time the ^onto was calling Jack, and

• telling him the fit;e was out.

On Thursday I did see four nice swordfish that Blairand Stan Hansen caught on the Hurry Sundown, and that's realy the only good fishing news J’ve encountered. Joe MacGregor, who just got back From Hatteras. told in^they were catching weakfish well up in Great Bay. and Ivou Rodlo had a report that the big blues were moving down on us from up north, and maybe Wednesday’s catch

is a forerunner of this exodus. .

AJ this writing the wind is blowing at gale force nor- \ thwest, and. when that calms down th^re might be a pdksibility thaf we’ll get some more blucfish yet this year, and maytv those stripers will start up down in the Rips. BUT I THINK TIIJJ MAJOR THING that is keeping our fishing catches down right now is the water temperature. It’s still holding at 58* as of this writing, dhd it will have to get a little bit colder than that, before the cold water fish

take hold.

Now that I’ve been away a wt^k. and looking at fishing from a distance/l’ve been doing a lot oPlhinking about dur fishing situationiwce on the Jersey Cape. I was brought up short this morning by the OWAA prayer as I was leafing through my Outdoor Writer’s manual. It gdes like this: Outdoor Writers Association of Amenca Prayer • God give me stillness. glve'm’P time to^stand. impressed by creeds and credits, andefiled, by dust of Industry, and be a child, reminded of my oneneis with the land. Let me stop running and be reconciled to feel my feet send roots into the sand Let me put forth fresh blossoms from my hand. ■ let me not lose my kinship with the'wild. And if l call this mine: remind me. God thqt it Is only as myJjlood and bone are mine: not mine to waste, not mine fo own. But mine to be. I am the goldrnrod. the grain.bhe granite: l am stream and glen. remind meNo preserve myself. Amert. MurRarrl Mrnamin

WE’VE GOT A LOT OF unanswered questions in the fishing world that’s been affecting us this season, and I’m going to’try and touch on them in the next few weeks: There is the problem of acid-rain, the salinity table moving far up the Bay. Ocean outfalls, and Ocean dumping of toxic wastes'. All these things had an effect on us this yfcar, and I plan to explore them in depth in between news of any species that is dfcrting to bite. On this last subject, it still would be helpful to have two nice days in a row, which would certainly contribute to better fishing. • IT IS-WITH A GREAT SENSE of regret 'hat I write of thc^ssing of Capt. Ed Royales, of Wildwool Crest. Captain Ed was a friend of many years standing, and a great party boat captain. I know that the Royal Flush will still be running because Ed's son is there, but the loss of Captain Ed will reallv be felt all along our fishing scene.
