Amberjack, barra cuda, dolphin, bonita swarm over the old wrecks, some of them cen tuiies old, which lie on the shoals. Only shallow draft boats can get to the best grounds. The Tenn essee party, novice and landlub bers, ruefully reported that 'they lost more dolphin than they caught "We horsed them too much," said Bassett. First Cabio OCRACOKE, Junt 15 The first cabio caught with hook and line this season was landed here last week by Captain Ed Fulcher. It weighed 15 pounds, and gave Cap tain Fulcher, who is four-score years old, a good fight. Cabio fishing is a relatively new sport on this coast. Called "coal fish" by commercial net-men, the cabio has for many years been found in nets. A few years ao fishermen began to take the fish on their lines. In 1938 a sportsman got the thrill of his life when he hooked a 50-pounder off this is land. That started sportsmen go ing after the cabio in earnest and last year a number were taken. Too Much Menhaden HATTERAS. June 15 Huge schools of fatback (menhaden) are playing ned with drum fish ermen, savs Tom Eaton, the Duke of Hatteras. Last week Eaton flew over the watersa nd sighted tremendous schools of channel bass below. They were in huge slicks of menhaden, feeding and throwing the fish into the air. "They're so fat and lazy they won't take bait," said Eaton. Nevertheless, surf fishermen are not doing so badly. One party at Hatteras caught 17 drum during moon tide and on the same ight at Ocracoke, 18 drum were taken by a night-fishing party. Will New Jersey Legalize This? If 'C tnr Ml - i 4 hi.. II.
