Jackson Men Among Those With Big Bluefish Catch NAGS HEAD — Giant size blue- fish, one that weighed 17 pounds invaded the Outer Banks surf here in the Nags Head and upper Hatteras Island areas on Monday and it was the most sensational fishing day, for the anglers who were lucky enough to be around with rod and reel, in the modern piscatorial history of the North east coast of North Carolina. Only thing to equal It were the big runs of big bluefish about 30 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Red Mitchell, operator of Seaport Fishing Pier in lower Nags Head sent in the first report. They were the only persons fishing from the pier as the big blues showed up, and they landed eight — the largest over 15 pounds. Their report was followed by one from commercial fisherman C. G. Brickie of Nags Head. He and his crew had netted more than 200 of the giant fish including a lot of wounded pan trout which apparently the big blues were chasing inshore. The largest fish in the Rickie catch was a 17 pounder. Warren Jennette, owner of Jen- nette’s Pier was the next to re port. Four anglers had caught more than 20 big blues. JoeMen- zago of Point Harbor had reeled in nine of the whoppers. His larg est was a 16 pounder. Two wom en and a man, all from Chesa peake, Va., also made catches from Jennette’sPier-their larg est a l6-pounder. Angus McKellar, Jackson, and two other anglers from that town trolling from an outboardpower- ed boat at Oregon Inlet, caught 28 of the big blues and one 30 pound striped bass and there were other catches made by ang lers trolling the Inlet. . .Bob Preston caught five big blues, a dozen trout and two striped bass on Monday in the surf at Pea Is land National Wildlife Refuge, The big run was short-lived. Plentiful they were on Monday morning. Theyweremovlngsouth along the beach. Then on Tues day came a coldfront, accompa nied by a northeaster which halt ed fishing for big blues. The weather was good again the fol lowing day - but no blues were caught. Will they come back? That is anyone’s guess.

Isn’t electricity wonderful? Rural people think so—especially at Christmas time! They remember when the Christmas glow faded away at the city limits. At least it seemed so. Dim lanterns bobbing across barn lots and kerosene lamps blinking through kitchen windows hardly whispered “Merry Christmas.” But that’s all changed. Farms now gleam with light. Front lawn decorations vie with Christmas displays in town. Now, thanks to rural electrification, neigh bors are happy to share this brighter, more joyous Christmas with you. eaAonS ROANOKE ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORP.
