Last year there were nine party boats putting out from . the landing and this year finds twenty-seven pow"er boats just as busy d; the nine were last year- In fact the. boats are getting foo thick to suit some Of the captains who are going to move on northward to another section of the beach next spring. ~ With plenty of boats, two piers, a pump that supplies fresh waler and a general Store dispensing smokes ard refreshments, tackle and baskets, the landing is one of the most appealing of all the baysidc fishing resorts excepting none. - Croakers, big weak fish, spots and an occasional flounder make up the big catches of the past week for the most part. Ontfe in a while a black channel bass or drum gets inquisitive and is added to the day's casuaJMes in the fish families. ■During the latter part of the. week shark fishing becnme^the more exciting sport of the more daring fishermen some q£ whom declare that fishing for sailf'ti<=h, tpna and shaVks in the southern, watqrs. is not a bit in tile fluuhitli- -- s )

Captain Nathaniel High, of Dias - Creek, who is putting out from the Landing this year reports that -hiring the week he had a party every day but one-. That was Friday, when to enjoy the day, he took a party of « friends to the fishing grqunds.

Everett Brown of the party. i>pat Recue, landed the largest drum

are proverbally tough and always ^ bite when you don't want . em. This particular fisherman was peeved over the catch, and stuck his knife thru ! the unwelcome, catch and this in his anger threw both-fish and knife over- [ board- Continuing his fishing for an ' hour and a half he felt another vicj- ' ious yank and hauled iri, his prize to ! find that he had again hooked the ! toad fish' which still had the knife : stuck thru it- He recovered the knife | and thumped the life out of the : tough catch, and while the hero of h the tale declares it is true, the yarn f j spinner wouldn't vouch for the fact. J ; The Landing is a busy place in then evenings as well as during the days ' with watermelon parties, straw rides, oyster roasts, evening bathing and a dozen other summertime sports.
