A Trip on Iho Bonner L. Villis
(Continued Fropx Page One).
ner L. Willis, and CUli Godetr of
Morehead City is itfiler boatman.
Charlea Willis, iaptain'a son-in-law,
runs on of the purseboat
TTi . u i .-v
engines.
Once beyond the sea buoy, A
lookout goes aloft, and the hunt for
npenhaden siijeks. is on. As the. fut
lliht of paU 6rlge, uh glim
mers across the leaden sea, tne
sedate prows and high crow's nests
of ' other; meniukten boats spring
into view. Here and there are
small "shrimpers', already seining
for a catcH.
When possible, aircraft aid in the
I search 'for the menhadett, relaying
word to' the vessels by radio tele
phone, which is standard equip
ment on all pogie boats Dow. Cap
tains chatter back and forth on
the circuits inquiring aboujt the
presence of the fish, in friendly
fashion.
Waiting for the fish to appear
is monotonous Dusiness ior me
crew, women ana nsn are nveiy
enough topics of bull shoots in
the galley, where a handful of men
swap small talk with Henry the
Cook. (Bonner, Jr. declares tnat
menhaden fishermen are the big
gest eaters in the world. He main
tains that Cook could call chow
down again a half hour after break
fast, and another meal as big as
the first one would be consumed
forthwith.)
Down forward in crew's quarters
an endless game of poker, played
with a deck of well-worn cards,
is in progress underneath a light
having the candle power of ap-
proXini?tely two large matches.
Other crew members take advan
tage of the lulls in activity to catch
up with the "rest of the night,"
which they lose by reporting to
work at 4 a.m.
When the lookout sings down
Lbat a school has been sighted, the
Striker Doaiman nrsi goes out
alone, rowing silently so as not
to warn the fish.
After he has determined the
heading of the school, he signals
the two purse boats. These long,
motor-powered boats close in to
either side and ahead of the
school, let down the seine and
then back up for the haul.
The mo'her ship next comes
alongside, lowers away a dipper
Hsden
net and begins to dump the (learn
ing! horde, which may be singly to
landlubbers but spel money to
nenbaden fishermen,; Into the ca
vernous hold of the poguj boat.
' Several hauls may be made in
a day.1 until the sold It brimful.
Or until the big run starts down
(rpra the rftrth yhote, day may
be spent without even lowering me
nets. '-.
The capacity of the Bonner L.
Willis is 600,000 Ash. With menha
den now bringing $2.60 a thousand,
the gross value of a single shipload
is $1,560.
Captain Willis has been going to
sea' oh menhaden boats since he
was 14, and young Bonner began
at the age of 15.
Reared at Williston, Bonner L.
Willis, Sr., was wearing short pants
when he started out as a cook for
a pogie boat crew of 16.
He has been engaged in the men
haden industry ever since, with the
exception of twof years when vne
depression hit the Industry and he
turned to fishing for food fish.
He says hev started, menhaden
fishinc strain In 1025. The price
theft was 40 cents a 1,000 fish, and
crer members were taking due
bills at the grocery stores for tbeljr
grub, to be paid from time to time
bv the owner of the boat. He was
Iworkina then for W. A. Mace on
the Convoy.
Captain Willis worked for Wal
lace Fish co. for 40 years, but he
now sells his fish to Beaufort Fish'
pries.
"I reckon UP to this time I've
helped catch more fish than any
man living," he opined. Put into
figures, it would add up to some
thing like 550 million fish.
His biggest haul in a single day
was between seven and eight thou
sand pounds of menhaden, taken
in two trips.

The mature fish are captured
chiefly in the fall during their
southward migrations to unknown
ocaan spawning grounds, where
they remain until the following
spring. Their food consists almost
wholly of microscopic plants and
small crustaceans which swarm at
the surface of the sea. These the
hienbaden stains from the water

Little is known about the biology
of- the menhaden. In view of the
increased intensity of fishing and
expansion of the fishery, more
complete information is needed,
