for them to get ready. If
they do bite. Oh boy,' the

Club that they saw plenty
of big fish outside, off Southport,
while making the run
to this point from Charleston.
During the past several
months quite a number of
nationally known sport fishermen,
who know their fish
and the habits, have advised
of their belief that Southport
has some of the very
best big game fishing on the
coast above Florida. Some of
these fellows have said they
would be at Southport some

their belief.
Wilmington and Southport
