NEVER HAS fishing been better in the Gulf Stream off Cape Lookout than it has
been this season. The above picture is by no means the largest catch made this year,
but it is one of the best from a variety standpoint. The successful anglers include
Albert Riley of Charlotte, and Mr. and Mr. Robert G. Lang of Beaufort. The 400-pound bonnet note
shark wa landed by Mr. Lang after a 45-minute battle. The largest amber jack, a 30-pounder, was
brought to gaff by Mrs. Lang. Th j anglers were fishing with Capt Ottis Purifoy, aboard his tri-motor-ed
cruiser "Shearwater." The G .If Stream fleet in Morohead City and Beaufort hare been making
as equally good catches recently as the one pictured above. (Euba nks.News Photo.)

CABIO FISHING has started
in Ocracoke waters, with the first
to be landed via rod and reel this
year being taken on Friday, ac
cording to Fred R. Stedman, this
column's Ocracoke Island reporter.
As matter of fact two of these
fighting fish have been taken and
both by Mrs. R. B. Crawford, Jr.,
of Winston-Salem. Her first fish
tipped the pcales -10 pounds and
measured 52 1-2 inches from tip to
tip. Her second cabio weighed G2
pounds. While cabio weigh up to
80 pounds or more, Mrs. Craw
ford's catch is probably a North
Carolina record for a woman ang
ler. MRS. CRAWFORD was fishing
with her husband and others a
board Gary Bragg's boat "Lena."
Guiding the party was Maultby
Bragg. Cabio or "Colefish" a lo
cal synonym for the fighters are
taken in much the same manner as
channel bass, for which the waters
in and around Ocracoke Island are
famous. Although the fish have
been taken in nets by the fisher
men for years, and considered one
of excelk-nt food quality (quite
like a cod-fish) it was not until
comparatively recently that ang
lers went after them with rod and
reel in a serious manner. Some
excellent action shots by Fred
Stedman, whose fish pictures arc
far superior to the average have
been published widely and are

TOMATOES
While the lack of buyers made it
impractical to open the Beaufort
Aauction Market this week as
planned, growers have been getting
fair prices for their tomatoes at
the Packing Sheds operated by S
IVI. Jones Company and M. from-
betta and Sns, Inc.. .Top price has
been 70 cents per bushet and the
average has been 50 cents. Ray
Esposito, of the Trombetta firm
urges growers to properly grade
their tomatoes before offering
them for sale. Many growers have
failed to do this and the result has
been lower prices than they would
have received otherwise. The to
mato crop of Carteret was materi
ally damaged by the lack of rain,
al. bough improvement is expected
with the second picking, as rains
during the past week probably
helped the situation.
