a scattering of semitropical fish which are being attracted by bait and warm water. Delaware Bay, the inlets along the Atlantic Coast and the ocean itself are all producing good to excellent catches FLUKE FISHING has provided intensity in catches as well as in size. Among the doormat fluke entered into the 49th annual Cape May County Fishing Contest are an 11 lb. 14 or. fluke landed by Donald

He caught his 1 fluke off Cape May at C Buoy while fishing out of i Hinch Marina in Cape May. t Payne was using squid bait I on a buck tail, t A 9V«-lb. fluke was caught by Joe Hartley of i Townsend's Inlet at the Bell Buoy off Townsend'6 Inlet, Sea Isle City.

plentiful and there is an adequate fish supply well north of the Jersey Cape. The number of exotic and semi-exotic fish is also unusually high, indicating warmer weather.
