'spins' ! I Aim* | By 1W KotSmg 0 One of the most perennial outdoor 1 battles is that waged by fresh-water anglers and those who fish the salty waters of the seas as to which branch of fishing is superior. Let’s take a look at the arguments of Robert D. Hall, author of many salt water fish ing articles. In fishing salt water the angler is at a disadvantage because of the mea ger information available concerning marine fishes. Much of his know ledge is gained by personal experi ences in fishing a particular section of our coast. And it isn’t easy to study fish that are nearly always moving up and down the coast, or in shore or out with the tide and food. The controversy between black bass fishermen and sea trout fishermen, or the musky fisherman boils down to the fact that it is not much the species of fish you may catch, but how light the tackle you use. No man will ever derive the utmost fun from fishing until he has reached the point where he considers the bat tle far superior to the catch. It is very encouraging to see the trend in recent years toward lighter-weight fishing equipment. The tarpon fishermen have discov ered that a splittail streamer fly tied on a 2/0 O’Shaughnessy hook will usually drive these small 8 or 10 pound tarpon crazy in their mad rush to strike this tantalizing lure. You decide if this is equal to catching a bright salmon. Here both anglers use a 6-ounce fly rod for their sport. It can be truthfully stated that more tarpon are lost than salmon. Os course, we must grant the bone like construction of the tarpon’s mouth makes hooking more difficult than gently taking up the slack line when salmon fishing. Hall asserts that fresh-water fish ing can offer nothing comparable to stalking a bonefish in the crystal clear /waters of the Florida Keys with a 4-ounce-tip rod and 150-yard reel, loaded with 6-thread line. But the real fascination of salt water ifshing lies in the uncertainty of the size of your catch and the type of fish. This great uncertainty of the catch makes it superior in many ways to the angling in fresh water lakes and streams. So claims Mr. Hall. COL. HOPPER RETURNS Col. R. E. Hopper, commanding of ficer of the Edenton Marine Corps Air Station, returned Thursday after spending a vacation in Canada. Dur ing Col. Hooper’s absence, Col. G. W. Nevils, executive officer, was com manding officer. No Job Is Too Tough When the trouble lies deep in the motor of your auto, you can depend upon our experienced mechanics to get to the bottom of it.
