.I’d been hearing stories

about catches of bluefish all week like Hiram Thompson telling me of having the Big Jim out near FA Buoy, and finding big blues on top. Capt. Hi had 40 people aboard, and they caught slammers for three hours winding up with 300 of those beauties. The high man had 30, and they were 6. 8. 10 lb fish. Every where you went, and every one who went blue

fishing had a story to tell 1 WAS DOWN at South

Jersey Friday night taking pictures, and after that I stopped around to Capt. Sal Sorace’s Five Star to admire the way he’s added four feet to that beautiful Ocean 40 At 5 a.m. we left the dock with Capt. Issy Sorace at the helm. In the party were Ben Sorace. Sal. Jim Todd, mate, Jack Sorace. second mate, and I. Captain Izzy headed right for the lightship, and at

6:30 we were fishing. He found a School on top

northeast of the light buoy, and v^e had a solid bail for

with big blues

breaking water all around us. The fish box was full by 7:45- with blues ranging from 9 to 15 lbs., so we picked up our lines, and headed for the 20-fathom line for some shark fishing, it was an unbelievable morning. I know we had 55 slammers, and we May have had more, becgusc they were filleting them for shark baits. Mate Jim Todd, and Jack Sorac«did a wonderful job of keeping the lines separated while those big fish were hitting, and we saved almost everyone we

hooked.

WE REACHED the 20-fathom spot, and put out our chum line, and about 10 o'clock Sal Sorace hooked and landed a 60 to 75 lb. sand dusky, which Ben Sorace shot, and mate Jim Todd gaffed; then about 11 o’clock Ben Sorace got something big on, and had it half way to the boat when the hook tore out. The action sort of deteriorated after that, and about 4:30 we picked up our lines, and headed for the bam. The ride out, and the ride back was a dream. The extra four feet has made that cockpit a pleasure to fish out of. and the boat is actually faster than last year, and smoother riding. THERE WAS A bluefish party Out of Rosem&n’s Boat Yard at tfie first part of the ^eekJCipt.

CAPE MAY - Dellas Realty upped its record to two and 0 by shutting out State Farm Insurance 26-0 in city women’s league softball The U.S. Coast Guard Sugar Bears clawed Middle Township Recreation 8-5 in a seesaw battle. IN MEN’S AMERICAN League softball, Eckel’s Diesel remained in first place by defeating K & E Builders 6-1 after jumping out to an early lead. Wick's Roofing took a pair of games last week edging Baywood Construction 8-7 and outslugging U.S.C.G. EECEN J9-11 CARPENTERS LOCAL 1743. on a roll of late, nailed down four straight opponents - Baywood Estates by scores of 9-3 and 14-11 behind Chris Mrder's 4 hits and 6 RBI's, Pharos Marina 13-1 and U.S. Coast Guard EECEN 10-3 Hoagies Heroes sandwiched wins over K & E Builders 7-2, Pharos Marina 8-7 and K-& E Builders agaon 8-4 and first place Eckel's Diesel 9-1. The U.S. Coast Guard i EECEN snapped a/ losing streak with a 9-6 cqpCjtiest of A C. Press I I MEN’S NATTONAV League games, Kramer I Beverage held on to first place in spite of being beaten 3-1 by Grandes Bar in a defensive struggle The Pitching of Albert Eichorn and the hitting of Denny Olsen. Buck McCracken and Rick Czyzewiki made the difference for Grandes Laws clipped Quinn’s Arco 10-5 behind Ted Ferrante’s thr^e hits and the

of bluefish offshore of 4FB. and there were some sore hands at the boat yard the next day. ('apt. Bill llenfey. of the Sea Raider, and ('apt. Charlie Selby on the Rainbow both reported terrific action on bluefish while chumming at night v On Tuesday Jack Osborne, Capt. Don Murphy. Bill Nichols.' and I headed out on the Red Beard for the 30-fathom curve for some yellow fin tuna, and white marlin. We ran into some slim pickings, but it wound up with a happy ending. We took our "rst skunking, but as we gre pulling into the dock pt. Don Rosemanj was backing the Top Drawer II into her slip from an overnighter with Bill Bright, Milton. Phil Tomlin, and Chris aboard. They had two yellow fin tuna, and 51 ib. mako that Chris had caught. Don cut up the mako, which they had kept onjee, set up the barbecue, and served us all mako steaks right at the dock. Jack Osborne and I really loaded up on those foako , steaks, and I’d recommend it to anyone. WHILE WE WERE dining, two boys in a 16 ft. outboard pulled into the railway with a 97 Ib. white marlin aboard. I ran to get my camera, but they had taken off across the creek. It seems that one of the boats from one of the sportfishing docks had taken that prize, and hired the two boys to dispose of it up

defense of Brendan Rosenberg and Mike Hickman. ‘ THE PRINTERS finished a fine week by beating Kindle Ford 7-5. Gloria’s Saloon came from behind to tie Grandes Bar 1-1 in the sixth inning on Gary Montgomery’s RBI - double before eventually winning 2-1 on Herb Hudson's sacrifice fly. Gloria’s wiggled out of an eighth-inning jam without allowing a run after Grandes. the home team, loaded the bases with none out. Randy Weiser of Gloria's and Albert . Eichorn of Grandes both pitched outstanding games. QUINN’S ARCO burned Bayshore Lounge 14-4 as their bals came to life. Bayshore then did likewise to Kindle Ford 15-2 with Rick Fenwick (home run). Max Songer (2 hits) and Henry Burton (2 hits) providing the punch. Kona Sporting Goods got good pitching and defense from Ralph Schaffer to skin the Coast Guard Bears

4-3.

one of the back creel What a waste! A good sportsfish kept just so the folks on the docks could see it, and then deposited up one of the back creeks for the crabs to eat. I didn’t get any in this episode, and I’m glad I didn’t, but I think the so-called sportsman will know from whence this

story comes.

Another tough loss came this week to Capt. Dan Guss on the Huntress He *was fishing Jeff l*aurer. Dan Kohruth of Allentown. Matt Morris of Robbinsville, and Dave Keeler, of Sunbury. Pa; and his rhate was Capt. Ernie Mairofo. on an overnighter. and they got something big on. and fought that fish for 14 hours and 55 minutes before the line parted at 3; 30-a. m. They had gotten a 75 lb. mako at the start, so that was the only thing they could throw on the dock after neaYly 20 hout-s on the

boat.

CAPT. DAN said the monster was hooked bn two lines aUthe start, but one pullecPout after five hours, and that finally they cranked down the drag at 3:15, but fifteen minutes later the line parted, so they had no way of knowing what they had hooked. I'd like to correct a couple of errors in my column of last week. They are my fault. Bubbles Fellcnbaum on the Sea Dancer caught a 1% lb. yellowfin tuna, not a big eye. I talked to I^»u Bachman of Smugglers Cove, and he told me that Walt llendee and Craig Ot ton made the I.D.. and Capt. Sal Sorace got a 190 pound big eye to win the Cape May Marlin and Tuna contest; also he was in Wilmington Canyon, not Washington caflypn^
