OUTHPORT. N. C.
"ANGELS UNAWARE"
Some day Southport people
will wake up and find that
they have been entertaining
Angels unaware, in the guise
of sportsmen with the discrimation
to appreciate real
sport and the will and power
to transmit his appreciation
to other sportsmen. In the
barracuda, as we have often
said, Southport has a real i!
fighting fish; a kind that is
found no where else on the j
coast of North Carolina and
at very few points on the
coast towards Florida. On account
of the peculiar fact
that barracuda are not found
at any point above us, we
are beginning to have the suspicion
that these fish out on
Frying Pan come all of the j
way from Bermuda, Cuba or
the Canal Zone, just to sum- |
mer off Southport. They are
out there from early April
until early December. They
are a fish renowned for its
fighting qualities; said to be
the fiercest that live in the
sea. There are plenty of
sportsmen that will go thousands
of miles just to fish
for barracuda. We are not
belittling the other splendid
game fish; we simply insist
that added to them the barracuda
at Southport will some
day be a drawing card for
attracting attention to this
town. The sportsmen who are
now pioneering; in the Gulf
Stream fishing: at Southport
may turn out to be angels
unaware to Southport people.
It is through, them that the
news will spread of what wo
have here. It is up to our
boatmen and all civic minded
people to treat these visitors
with every human consideration.
