Reports from some quarters are to the effect that the migratory) menhaden are approaching the upper coast in considerable numbers. Local boats, as well as the boats from the factories in Carteret county, are expecting some fine fishing during the next few weeks.

Fishermen Look For Roe Mullets Product Expected To Be , Plentiful Along Brunswick Coast In The Near Future Roe mullets are expected to 'each the Brunswick county coast; his week, according to well informed fishermen. There should )e some fine catches made of hese fish from now on until ibout Thanksgiving, if fishing :onditions are in any way favorible. D. M. Davis, assistant fisheries :ommissloner who works with Clapt. J. A. Nelson at Morehead 2ity, says there have been plenty of the roe mullets along up he coast. They are moving steadly southward and should be here this week, he says, if they are lot already here. Local fishermen, too, have been hearing plenty of eports of good runs of fish on he coast above here and are very expectant. Good catches of large spots lave been made during the past several days. These fish usually' precede the roe mullets in the I novement of the fish southward. *' j Most of The News All The Time EVERY WEDNESDAY Restrictions Are Lifted Boat License For Sport Fishing Parties No Longer Required; Boats May Fish Anywhere All war time fishing restrctions ilong the coast have been re- I noved, according to a statement I nade this week by officers conlected with the office of the I Captain of the Port in Wilming;on. Work of the office was itlelf discontinued, effective Tues- I iay of last week. However, the !50 men and officers who comjose the force are still at the jffice and Wilmington shipping nterests are said to be making i vigerous effort to have their vork continued. It is said that a force, small :ompared to the 250 men who rave been kept at the office, nay be retained for activities in f lighting fires. Practically all of die activities during recent weeks, ; t is said, has been directed tovard preventing- or fighting fires. , rhls has been classed as a rath:r important work, due to the arge amount of gas handled in die port. t In the event the full force of :he Captain of the Ports office s sent elsewhere, as was indicted in the orders received last veek, It is assumed that all activ a?a: ? Lies LVl Lilt' |11V1CL11UU U1 Oil Idling in this area and any re- ti itrictions on fishing, if such are lecessary, will be handled as formerly by the Oak Island Coast Guards at Southport. Half a dozen Southport men and many others from various sections of Brunswick county tiave been stationed at the office in Wilmington. These men apparently have no idea whero they may be transferred but all seem to be of the opinion that discontinuance of the work In Wilmington will give them an opportunity at more active service. Wreckages Rend Nets Of Trawlers Fishermen Working Far Offshore Have Been Suffering Considerable Damage To Rigs The more venturesome shrimp traulers working far offshore, where they often find a more choice product, are meeting with considerable trouble and expense . through the loss of valuable nets. Nets are being lost daily and others are badly damaged through getting hung on old stumps, logs, pieces of iron and wreckage half buried in the sands on the floor of the ocean. In the case of the larger boats, using big nets, the loss o fa rig Is considerable. When several are lost in a short period of time all of the profits from shrimping turn into losses. Some boats are said to have suffered a complete loss of two or more nets and to have had others badly damaged during the month of October. Captain Herman Stanland, of Shallotte, with his bier boat. Grandma, lost a net last week I and replaced it with a new one. //I Monday of this week this new.
