Motor Boating Still i
An Attractive Sport I
Nowadays nearly everybody seems
crazy about riding in automobiles
when out for a little pleasure but
the fact remains that there is still a
fascination about a nice boat ride,
especially for some people. ..lr. .
Richard B. Taylor, of Beaufort and
Mr. and Mrs. Mebane of the News on j The escallop season of 1927-28 of
last Saturday were given a fine ride j ficially opens December first accord
in the motor boat Jean of Beaufort, i ing to Commissioner J. A. Nelson and

: -fni v,oo it i-Vimms. Caotain Er- i mittee on commercial Fisheries of
nest W. Tranter of Bay Head, New
Jersey was the host on this occasion.
The Jean which was built by Hu
bert S. Johnson of Bay Head for M.

a fine little craft. She is thirty feet

less than three feet of i

SPECKLED TROUT CAUGHT
TROLLING IN NEWPORT RIVER
It isn't often that anybody catches
speckled trout by trolling but this has
been done several times neqfently.
Captain RvQ. -Willi and Mr Richard
Taylor have been out several times
recently and caught a number of nice
trout in this way. On Wednesday
Captain and Mrs. Willis trolled in
Newport river and caught 16 fine
speckled trout. Last Friday they
caught 14 trout in the same way.

Weather Unfavorable
For Menhaden Fishing
This week has not been favorable
for the menhaden fishermen. Winds
on shore have not been high but some
disturbance off shore has caused high
seas practically all the week and this
has stopped ocean fishing. The sea
bass fishermen have not been able to
do any thing either on account of the
rough seas.
The best catch made this week was
by Captain Buck Parkin who brought
in 115,000 in the Balster. Captain
Bonner Willis caught 20,000 and this
is about all reported so far. Several
of the boats are still' lying at Ocra
coke Inlet hoping for better weather
conditions. The fish seem to be mov
ing slowly down the coast and the
fishermen hope that by next week
they will be nearer by and that the
weather will be more favorable.
POLICE-COURT ITEMS.
There was only two cases in Police
Court Friday afternoon and as both
defendants submitted to the charges
against them the proceedings were
very short. Will Parker charged
with having been drunk was fined $2
and costs. Charles Parker, drunk
and disorderly, $2 and costs.

SCALLOP SEASON
Fisheries Beard Relaxes Rule
And Open Season Starts
December First
the Department of Conservation and
Development, who have been in con
ference, relative to the matter.
The date of the opening of the seal
lop season, according to law is the
first of January, but under authority
vested in the Fisheries Commissioner
and the Chairman of the Fisheries
Committee, known as rule 31, the
power is given to suspend certain
rules, and in so far as the escallop
season looms as a great season, the
commissioner has suspended sneinsn
rule No. 41, putting the opening dajT
as December first.
Fishermen of Beaufort, Morehead
City and other parts of the county
no doubt are pleased that the season
will onen earlier this year than it

a few years ago became very much de
pleted and it was considered neces-
sarv to take rather stringent meas-
nres to replenishing them. While
thPv are not anv too nlentiful now in-
I dications are that the catch will be

j the scallop geason does not open un.
til the first of February. 1 he supply
j in Long Island Sound is understood
to be very limited tms year so me
' indications are that Carteret scallop-
pers will get very good prices for
their catch. At any rate that is the
hope of about everybody in these
parts.
