The only Little Fry batters to Fishing Trophies Arrive; Go on Display This Week By BOB SIMPSON The Fabulous Fishermen's tro phies have arrived and ara on dis 1)1 a v in Capt. Bill's restaurant un til the outside trophy case is ready. For the fishermen who tell bigger whoppers than they catch, the prizes for the fishy talc contest are beginning to come in: first prize, an Abu reel from the Garcia Com pany in New York and an 8-foot foot Rodde glass rod from Atlan tic Sports Supply Company in Smithfield, on display in the studio window. Although fishing has been gen erally slow, a record billfish catch was made aboard George Bedsworth's Dolphin: three sails in one day, one of them 6 feet 11 inches setting a new record; the fisherman, F. D. Gottwald Jr., Richmond, Va. The false albacore record was taken twice in a week aboard Dol phin III, the most recent being a 17-pounder by R. C. Willis, Roa noke, Va. Other big fish, also aboard Dolphin III, were a 22 pound king by Paul Plaster, Roa noke; and a 38-pound cobia by Julian Pike, also from Roanoke. A 35-pound cobia was canght aboard Dolphin IV, and in the liver 3 cobia were caught by a party from B. J. White's Camp, so It's obvious the cobia haven't left us, but the more enthusiastic cobia fishermen have ran out of energy. Henry Holt's Modoc came in the other day with 17 Spanish mack erel, one of the best catches this season, though a few weeks later than normal. Joe Rose's Edria has had some excellent catches of blues, SO to 100 in a half-day. Johnny and Theodore aboard the two Sylvias continue to have good luck with their inshore king mackerel fishing. Johnny had S la a half-day that totaled n pounds. Capt. Johnny Guthrie has been kept out of the running recently with boat repairs. Moody Lewis' Sandy has had good catches of blues and bottom fish. Joy II had 9 kings in her catch one day; Southwind, 6 kings; Har riet L II, S kings; Dolphin IV, 8 kings; Ho-Hum, 13 Spanish; Bun ny Too, 5 kings, all good indica tions of improved king and Spanish mackerel fishing. Bunny camc in with 31 dolphin in her catch, and amberjack arc still plentiful. The three sound piers have had slow fishing, but with some days of very good croaker catch es. Bunch's also reports blues beginning to pick up from the pier. Sheepshead fishermen are busy around the bridges. Floun der are abundant, but flounder fishermen have been scarce. From the four ocean piers day time fishing has been slow, with early morning and late afternoon producing some good catches of blues and Spanish, bottom fishing best at night. At the two opposite ends of the Beach, Thompson's king mack erel score has gone up to 40 this season, and at the Triple-Ess, Woodie Wilson of More head City fishes daily for a big tarpon that tall-walks out to sea with a few hundred yards of Woodie's line each tine.
