The j shrimp, great red migratory speicimems, began rolling over Frying rjPan Shoals Monday. Once over t! the shoals they are in the fav orite trawling grounds and us ually fall victims to the boatmen for many days until they move out of range of the boats. [ j Reports from Morehead and Beaufort are to the effect that there are plenty of these red j migratory shrimp on the upper ' part of the coast. Local fishermen | j say that with good weather con- j ( i tinuing fine takes may last for j' some time. Fine fishing at the ' price that is now being paid for s ' shrimp means a lot of money. 1 r The top catch made off South- J " j port yesterday was made by the 1 ' Mary-Clark, a boat owned by Dr. ? L. C. Fergus and with Clarence Simmons as Captain. This catch was delivered at the Fergus house , at Lockwoods Folly instead of being brought in here where the | Mary-Clark usually unloads.
